Pilot Salute/thumbs up?

[hollywoody]

Hey guys,

 

How hard would it be to have a mod or ? so your pilot can salute or give a thumbs up from within the cockpit? This would be so cool to be able to look over at your wingman in MP and see him give you the thumbs up. just a thought.

They have hand signals in ROF, and the thumbs up is cool espescially for screens, but then they didn't have radios or much avionics to code either.

 

If someone does it, I vote for a mouth wide open expression for those *WTF* moments.

There is a Viper mod that salutes I saw in a video today.

You need the original 3dMax file to be able to do it, of which you can't do with the stock models.

That is a small tweak I would particularly appreciate :thumbup:

 

The thumb up as well as the other hand signs fighter pilots give when rolling at Red Flag exercises ..would be so cool ;)

Can we add in the ability to have the head move in the Y axis instead of just looking left and right? I would be great for no comm takeoffs ;)

That would be awesome, but no comm take offs are easy to do already, 3 sqn, 74th and others do it already. Look at each other and when lead looks forward it's go time.

In 51st, the lead throws the empty vodka bottle out of the pit, the moment it hits the pavement - it's go time.

Yep, and using the speedbrakes is an easy way of knowing if everyone is in position and ready to move on if there are more than 2 per flight.

 

To be fair, this system of work was 'derived' from my time with the 104thPhoenix, for us the whole methodology is known as 'SOP 5'.

I love this idea with the hand signals... This is totally something they should add to the games for all the client controlled craft. :) Does anyone know if currently in the game the external view pilot head orients in the same direction as the player is looking in first person?

Yes the pilots head moves, but only left and right.
