And perhaps finally the multicrew for this beauty???  Well due an update for the old girl.

One of my absolutely favourite modules. Didn't expect that when I got it!

Many thanks for new fog and SC directors - we got major update in both the looks and functionality

Pity you didn't listen though and spell broke quickly when my aircraft went instant 180 after parking, ugh. Not a thing you'd expect in a simulator.

The new fog effect is awesome, I also reverted the SSAO option to enhance the realism.

The new deck vrew is awesome, this was a really significant addition.

And many thanks also for the SC operation guide and updating the DCS manual.

For me, I think I have constantly run over the second SC director in F-14 en route the catapult.

Maybe placebo, but has the new fog also enhanced the clouds ?

-Note I have only tested in VR.

My best DCS memories come from flying the Mi-8

Mi-8 has multicrew for a while (something like a year).

BTW, I'd like to see at least graphical update for her too.

BN, I think there's a misunderstanding - seems like Aerges thought those features were in (hence their changelog - see subforum) but aparantly the changes weren't in the patch file and hence those changes aren't featured in game right now.

It seems the list we were given for the Mirage F1 isnt correct, I will be editing the list soon. 

Thank you for spotting it.

How come I can mix rain with dust storm? Anyway, having fun playing around with weather here, and you don't have to be the US government to do that... (just kidding)

Tested DCS yesterday and it looks brilliant. SC deck crew also make so much fun. Thank you ED for the good work.

 

However, I noticed yesterday two tings:

• During an F18 campaign in Syria, the mission started at sunrise. I was surprised to see a bright spot in front of the mountains in the east. It turned out to be the reflection of the sun in the fog, which should have been blocked by the mountain because the sun was still below the mountain range (but its image was visible in the fog in front of the mountains). Unfortunately, I didn't make a track for this, but I would like to mention it here anyway.
• Furthermore, the F5 nearest AC button no longer works for me. Has something been changed in the basic settings?

[PLUTON]

Hello just a question!
how do we remove the little purple icon above the bridge directors head?

Thanks for the help

Have you checked your settings? DCS options > misc.

Some missions may override it.

About reflections - I found they are way overdone - meaning they reflect more light than the source provide. Same is true for afterburners and other lights' reflections.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Glad to help mate.

[PLUTON]

Thanks for the reply Mr Esac_mirmidon

As you can see in my fog comparison video, too. At first, I thought it were the reflection of the taxi light...

Not possible as of now.

And since ED encrypted the model, we cannot figure it out the argument for it easily.

I think the new members of the deck crew could do with a little more life when they are not engaged. Currently they are standing like statues on Spice. The orginal deck crew elements have a little more behavioural movement to them.  Rigidly staring off into space 20ft from the jets of a full afterburning F18 on the cat does not feel authentic.

The 180 Flip is also not endearing. As others have said, maybe be a cut fade whilst in the pit but Im not sure how that would work in extenal or with AI. Perhaps go back to the original invisible tractors or reverse gears for now until they come along at some point in the distant future.

Maybe its also time to revisit the Deck Crew for the Forrestal with HB to (something that seemed to evaporate around the time SC was announced).  Especially given the SC is very much hornet centric.  Perhaps tie their appearance to owning the F14 if feature freeloading is a concern.
