VarZat Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Its standard in many airforces around the world to tow aircraft back into the shelter. In DCS, after finishing a mission and you are back on the ground, its impossible to get back in the shelter you came from. When i visited an AF base in Norway back in 2021 i got to see how they do it. They had two winch cables that came from the back of the shelter and pulled the aircraft back. Not asking for anything fancy but just having the ability to get towed back in would be awesome! 5
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 It'd be really, really nice to have any real ground crew. 5 Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
Northstar98 Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Yeah, pushbacks have been a very long requested item, right now the only things are static objects that come with the Supercarrier - though they are all fully animated, which gives me hope. 3 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

draconus Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Keep in mind it's the ground crew that does that, after the pilot(s) leave the cockpit. In DCS you can currently drive into the shelter (door will be opened). Can Viggen do it with reverse thrust?

Kang Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 A Harrier can obviously park in reverse. A Hornet can actually taxi and turn around in the usual Caucasus shelters.

Not entirely true Here at the RNLAF, the F-16's get winched backwards into their shelters, with the pilot still in his seat. Once the aircraft is back inside, the boarding ladder is placed and the pilot will exit. I'm sure The Netherlands is not the only country doing it this way, although I can imagine, many/most other aircraft types might not have winching lugs 3 1 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH

Well, who says people playing DCS can only be pilots? 2 hours ago, draconus said: In DCS you can currently drive into the shelter (door will be opened). Can Viggen do it with reverse thrust? Sure can, so can the Harrier. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.
