Add AI Paddles on the Essex

[Esac_mirmidon]

Any plans from MD3 or ED to add in the future a Paddles with moving arms to the Essex?

I think this could be a great addition to have a Signal Paddles officer on the deck helping the Corsair traps.

Great help as well as the safety barriers that rise in case of risk of collision

Not sure how we're supposed to do any carrier ops without an LSO.

Would it even be possible to see the LSO in-game?

Guess you have to fly the way you see him. VR, TrackIR or a camera left-shift could be helpful, too.

If you do the right pattern on the Groove, yes, you will see the Paddles

M3 lacks access to the required "core" functionality to implement Paddles. This requires ED to implement it in the WW2 carrier "core" first before any third party can use it.

Thats why I've mention BOTH in my first post 

[Silver_Dragon]

Actualy ED has not claimed nothing about WW2 carrier funtionality.

I'm thinking about limitations in resolution and render distance, not visibility. Even on a Pimax 8KX with the FoV almost 1:1 with real life the resolution is simply too low to render that level of detail. The Crystal might be cleaner, but it's still only 4k per eye.

Well im on 2D, but VR tech will improve over time. Not having a Paddles because VR resolution limits....

You misunderstand me. VR would be EASIER to see it with because the scale and FoV are closer to real life than a flat display. It'd be even less likely the LSO would be visible on a flat display.

I thought you mean the opposite. Then in VR would be easier, and in 2D is just a zoom issue if needed, but the Paddles is a must iMHO

I can't remember if it was 1942: The Pacific Air War or Aces of the Pacific, but one of them had a mechanic where you signaled your readiness to land, and it popped up an inset box showing the LSO.

Just seeing a Paddles moving the arms could be glorious

M3, commented that they wanted to implement it, along with the elevators, the stop barrier and the lower deck; but that for this ED had to make some changes to the core of the simulator, the good thing is that it would also work for ED's CV6.

The nickname of the future M3 paddles..., will be "Leathe(o)rne(u)ks" after the code of the YE/ZB beacon
