bear.is.flying Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Dear ED, Please allow us to click the canopy rail “towel rack” to give the Salute! command to the deck crew to signal launch. Thanks!

VWJ Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 That would be even better than eventually binding it to a button press. Danger zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDV Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 But when I saw new Wags video, it seems that salute from Hornet's pilot is implemented now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It is, but it’s a drop-down radio item. Touching something in the pit would feel more “natural.” [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDV Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It is, but it’s a drop-down radio item. Touching something in the pit would feel more “natural.” What means that? For me it's not so important. More important is, that is implemented. And im very grateful to ED for doing this. BTW i was wondering is that animation implemented outside of the pit? To see how pilot salute?

shagrat Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It is, but it’s a drop-down radio item. Touching something in the pit would feel more “natural.” It available as a keyboard and/or button command also just needs to be mapped. :thumbup: EDIT: (...)"Note: In addition to the Salute command from the Radio Menu, a hot key command is also available."(...)

Spooky OS Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 In the FAQ Wags did say that there is a "Salute" key bind of LShft+LCtrl+S. Wouldn't it be also great to have a "ball" call key bind as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dactil Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I am hoping that external views will show the pilot saluting. If so, a Voice attack command would work well. Something like this When I say "Salute" (or click on towel rail hotspot) Go to pre-set external view of the cockpit (Press Left Ctrl+F4 keys) Press Supercarrier keybind for 'Salute' (Press Left Ctrl +Left Shift+S keys) Watch the pilot salute (Pause 2 seconds) Returns to cockpit view in time for the launch (Press Fl key) Edited April 9, 2020 by Terry Dactil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo179 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 With Voice Attack, I'm gonna map it to something like "Later B***es", or "Peace Out", and salute as I say it, lol. Maybe have like 4 or 5 phrases I can say, for whatever mood I'm in. "Great balls of Fire" maybe, or "I feel the need... the need for speed". Or, if I'm just in a boring mood, something like "Launch" would work I guess.Point is, VA is definitely nice to have sometimes. I also do think having the ability to click something in the cockpit would be beneficial though. It would have to only be an available activation once you are on the cat and ready to go though. Or not I guess. You'll have so many people doing videos of them saluting other players mid air though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemadmax20 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 An external Pilot Salute view is an excellent idea. And with Vaicom and Voice Attack you can map the salute command to whatever floats your boat or, in this case, whatever gets you off the boat. For me: "I'm Going Downtown".
