Gierasimov Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 From the information gathered so far, on my pre-ordered Supercarrier module, I understand that catapults 1-4 will include automated animations for launch operations. My understanding is that this is going to be for runway start setting in ME. Are the taxi and recovery animations also planned for this module at some point?

Harker Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I understood that taxiing from a perking spot to the catapult is included. You can even see parts of it in the trailer, with hand signals for hooking up to the catapult, deploying wings and lowering flaps. Since a "runway" start spawns you on the catapult, fully configure to go, there wouldn't be a reason to have these animations if they didn't intend to support taxiing. At least that's how I see it.

Bloodhound57 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That would be very cool. I saw this on the "wishlist" forum. I really hope the deck crew assists in taxiing. ____________________________________________________ PC: ASROCK Z370 Gaming K6 | Intel i7 8700K | GeForce 2080TI | 32GB GeSkill 3200 RAM | GeForce 2080TI | 500GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2 | 1TB Samsung 860 EVO M.2 ____________________________________________________ FLIGHT STUFF: Rift S | Warthog Base | Virpil Base | Hornet Grip | A-10 Grip | Cougar Grip | Virpil F-14 Grip | Cougar MFD's | A-10C UFC | Saitek Flight Panels | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkis Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hopefully we need to ask permission to start and ATC gives us a Cat to taxi to it. But i dont think we will get a taxi to a parking position after recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i dont think we will get a taxi to a parking position after recovery. At least I want to see the U yellow shirt raising both his/her arms when trapped. You know, eyebrow/peripheral vision. BTW how does a real aviator know which wire he/she snagged? Do they get a crackling headset "THREE WIRE!" What if they bolter, do they get Mexican/Latino song playing in the headset?

Skelitor Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Well, they can look back and see. The wires don't retract that fast, so the pilot can look over their shoulder while they clear the LA to check. Also, Paddles takes the grade sheet from the LSO platform to each of the ready rooms and briefs the Squadron Duty Officer on each aircrafts grade and wire. This is the better option because the pilot should be paying attention to the flight deck crew guiding them, not what wire they just snagged. Also I'm sure after a while they just get a feel for it. No music on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
