Guille H. Mono Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Since there are options to represent earlier configs of the Kiowa like removing the MMS I think it would be nice to have the option to have binoculars so we can do kiowa stuff the old fashion way. 5
cgrxman Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 You'd need a pilot vomit mode. Like you use the binoculars for a minute, then puke, then repeat. I do recall reading about stabilized binos, but never saw a set during my 8 years as an Aeroscout. 6
Guille H. Mono Posted June 6, 2024 Author Posted June 6, 2024 LOL, thanks for sharing! I requested without much knowlege on the issue but I trust the AI Pilot steady hands and the dashboard already looks like a frathouse's kitchen. Thanks again for sharing your experience. 1
monkie Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I would love a way to lock the laser fire button as a toggle ON/OFF for those of us that fly Single Player as both seats. It's tough to retrim and hold my thumb on the laser button from the pilot position. Not realistic but since we already have some artistic license for SP why not? 2 Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10

monkie Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I thought there were "stabilized" binocs in use in the past but maybe they never panned out. I can't imagine trying to use conventional binocs in a helicopter but who knows. Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10
Gunfreak Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I would like bicolours in Warbirds too. Especially used in the Pacific i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

I can't speak to what happened after I left the community in July 1998 In 8 years flying the OH-58D/D(I), I never used or even had binos with me. I also never saw anyone else use them. Not to mention, binos would have been completely useless at night. Again, maybe they used them in COIN ops after I left, but in my mind looking through 7x glass bouncing around in the helicopter would not be effective. In DCS, I guess you could use the zoom view axis to "simulate" binos. That would capture the essence of using them and allow the developer to spend time on something like MPSMs or flechettes, which I am sure you will enjoy waaaaay more than binos...trust me.
