Caspet Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Just a thought. The bungie (rope) that holds flight plans, mapes ect. I think it would be a cool idea if they were visible and clickable to bring up the relivant docs. I know there is something along the same lines in the next patch(key press I think). Any thoughts?:beer: 1 Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee Muhammad Ali-(Cassius Clay) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hews500d Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I like that idea too !!! It would make the cockpit that much more realistic to have a few nav charts in there ! Darrell
RIZLAHQ Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 +1 Somthing like a knee chart, Map, TCN channels, ILS, Runway headings, Startup checklist,

Snoopy Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Most pilots don't put nav charts there, those are located on a pouch on the Rt side console. Most of our pilots have bags with various items and we club the bags to the bungie cord so it stays put in flight. Varies by pilot on what they actually use it for Another thing they do (which I hate) is write things with a wax pencil on the canopy....wouldn't be bad if they actually cleaned it up! v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website

And this is tolerated? Kinda defeats the purpose of keeping the canopy absolutely scratch free, does it not? Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

You should see the amount of crap an A-10 AFAC pilots typically writes on the canopy. It's a lot of data... "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col. Creighton Abrams

EinsteinEP Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 And this is tolerated? Kinda defeats the purpose of keeping the canopy absolutely scratch free, does it not?Hence the wax pencil.

sobek Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Hence the wax pencil. I'm not talking about scratching the canopy, but i assume it it is kept scratch free to impair the pilots vision as little as possible. Why they would be allowed to write on the canopy then kinda beats me. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
