CheckGear Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This part of the update release today really got me brimming with excitement: Although we released a greatly improved and free Nimitz-class aircraft carrier at the time of the Hornet release, we are also working on a separate Nimitz-class aircraft carrier module. This product will have an incredible level of detail and include such features as a detailed and operable LSO and Air Boss stations, detailed modeling of the hangar, animated deck crew, briefing room, and control of the carrier. Basically, it sounds like the carrier will be largely interactive on a first-person, ground level. Given that a ready (briefing) room will be part of the package, does this mean missions will be able to start there? If so, the possibilities are endless. DCS would cease to be a Digital Combat Simulator - it would become a Digital Life Simulator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofEil Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Yep, cautiously optimistic about this also. It’d be great if we could walk out to and climb in our jets. i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocuta Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 More naval is always good to see. If they ever went full Dangerous Waters and modelled sonar, ASW, torpedoes, etc, I'd die of joy because I miss that game and there's nothing modern that's quite like it. Here's hoping they go a bit crazy with the Arleigh Burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping they go a bit crazy with the Arleigh Burke. Dangerous Waters is, to this day, the only P-3C Orion and SH-60B Seahawk simulator ever built and that's why I loved it so much. I missed out on being a Naval Aircrewman, so the game gives me an idea of what it must've been like to fly in the back of a P-3 and hunt submarines and attack surface targets. It was truly a one-of-a-kind simulation I can never really get working on my Windows 7 PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey45 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If we can edit waypoints in there then that would be great. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

twistking Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 while i think, this can be a nice feature, i hope that the paid module brings only the immersive component of a ready room and is not a payed mission planer tool, by which i mean, that a mission planer tool should be a basic functionality and part of a free update to dcs, while the paid carrier module could still add immersion to the briefing and mission planning.

The_Pharoah Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 this sounds really great. I pretty much ONLY fly carrier ops with the hornet now. I love that feeling of spawning in the cockpit on the deck with the ships on station and the beautiful water flying by. Having said that, if they are going to release a paid module (CV) with briefing station, etc I wish they could include: 1. the ability to WALK from the briefing room to the Hornet 2. actual crewmen on the carrier deck (red/green/blue/yellow/etc shirts) that guide you, rearm/refuel you, etc 3. more carrier aircraft eg. Seahawk (seeing the gazelle on the nearby destroyer or whatever is kinda offputting), E2 Hawkeye, C2 greyhound, etc Also, giving a player the ability to steer the carrier sounds great in theory however with the amount of idiots online, I can quickly see this turning to poo.

They already said there's going to be a live flight deck crew. I also wonder if it's possible to interact directly with crewmembers (slap them in the head for missing something during pre-flight prep). I agree, steering the ship is overkill.

Ratcatcher Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) There will have to be a way for hosts to keep strangers off of the bridge! Maybe have a couple of armed Marines at the entrance? DCS meets ARMA3??? :D @Spike525 Also they said once the Carrier is complete they will move on to the other projects, which sounds like this is what they are working on at the moment and "should" be the first of the ongoing projects completed in 2019.
