But how do I get to all these new features such as air boss viw, room views? Etc.. New features. If you go into 'Settings' and select 'Views' there is a new 'Air Boss' view setting key binding. Using that should put you into the Air Boss area and you can do things from there, quite a few YouTube videos showing how it all works. All your normal Supercarrier views are in the 'Views' category as well, first three on the list are Supercarrier, then further down you got Landing Signal Officer and Supercarrier view. Some people have had problems with key bindings after the updates so just check they are still all assigned. Edited July 25 by TKhaos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DmitriKozlowsky Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 IS there any control over ship heading, that was not in mission editor. Like bringing ship to recovery heading into the wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like bringing ship to recovery heading into the wind? I'm not sure as I don't use that myself, only time I have set the heading was in Mission Editor, on one of the tabs you got a little circle where the waypoint stuff is I think and you can give specific headings. Other than that I'm not sure but hopefully someone will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine AirBoss would call Conn (bridge) and request heading or course change to bring ship to BRC. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I linked it to the exact time where he orders a heading change. And controlling the ships lights, etc You have to slot in a AirBoss. If not, you will just be able to view from the AirBoss station.

I think this is the part that trips people up. You can't control the ship if you're in a plane slot, you must be in the AirBoss slot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried clicking on screens but so far no joy. Perhaps its part of communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For slot change you use Esc > Select role or select it when the mission starts. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Rift S T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should happen is when Request Landing is made or when Inbound, the ship should respond with "Copy, turning into wind, BRC 'azimuth'' . Or similar. That should be helicopters and for Harrier. Not just for F/A-18C. As a minor point, the air burble should be for all ships with flight deck or rotary pads. In fact burble is more pronounced for LHA and for surface vessels. Its complex interplay of wind, wave, and ship motion. NASA made many studies for Navy , USAF, and Army, for landing VTOL and rotaryies on various types of ships.

Thank you so much, until now I couldn't figure out how to manage the AirBoss functions and then fly 'my' F-14 in the same mission. Now the Air Boss (Primary Flight) deck makes sense to me too and I can finally use speed, direction and lighting functions during the mission. Thanks again for tips.

Stearmandriver Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Dumb question: is there any way to slot into the air boss role to change ship lighting or heading etc, and then get back into your airplane, in the middle of a mission? I've messed with the controllable options in Prifly at the beginning of a mission, but the other night I had occasion to want to turn the ship as I was on my way back from a mission. But if I slotted into the air boss station to make these changes, then when I slotted back into "my" plane, it would be back in its starting position, right? So is there any way to change any of these options when you find the need to, vs having to anticipate everything before flying? Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tested yet but the AI should take over your aircraft so when you get back to it, you should start wherever the AI took the aircraft in the meantime. But I also heard the changes made in the SC are back to default when you leave it so the ship will probably sail back to the mission set course. That makes sense. If you want realistic mission just make or load one.

I did not know that there was any sort of AI that would keep controlling my plane, thanks for mentioning that. I just figured the slot would cease to exist, so that's good to know. Now if the changes made aren't sticky, that's a different issue but hopefully an easier one to correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
