capthaltli Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Someone should tell 311 Hook about flying for the Air Force. Just kidding, I know it is harder than it looks. Nice job and like the "easy with it" calls! [sIGPIC] "GOONIE" [/sIGPIC] "GOONIE" CSG-1 VFA-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 H ha poor Hook. He's a really great guy and in the middle of doing something momentous so hasn't been around much for over a year. He's a great sport letting us upload his rusty traps. I was the same after a few months away from the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy_99 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 A mod that should be implemented to carriers once F-14 and 18 are out, Im going to try this is the mod public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 The PLAT cam overlay pack is on our website vLSO training page, the CVN77 with working meatball which matches the LSO view glideslope (LALT+F9) is hidden at the bottom of the CV NATOPS training page. You will have to find something to fly though, our Hornet mod isn't publicly available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD FLASHEART Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 This week Madmax flies his 6 Carrier Qualification traps while the rest of us ramble about what we would like to see in future ED carrier releases. You also get to see our top secret Oculus Rift PLAT cam crosshair mod in action. i9xLsKKEOPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthaltli Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 No ball calls usually means that pilot owes the others a round a beer :thumbup: I like the wish list you guys started chatting about. If I am able to add a few, here is my input: CARRIER: Wire animation and failures simulated Burble effect simulated behind the ship based on winds and direction (make approaches more challenging) Controllable IFLOLS to include manual wave off lights (for zip lip ops and LSO MP session) Crisp IFLOLS for VR users, set at correct angle 3.5 degrees Pitching deck with correct IFLOLS response Accurate night lighting (low lighting) to include sequenced center line lights (rabbit) for night traps Structural damage simulated to aircraft from a hard landing (gear, hook failures) or ramp strike (LSO AI jump into crash net below platform, ok not necessary) Barricade simulated for emergency landings active deck crew (correct shirt colors and jobs) active AI jets moving about the deck and in the air simulating the launch and recovery cycle LSO platform for VR view (as mentioned in video) with a working PLAT display visible while on platform station a virtual LSO that grades your approach and gives informative/directive/imperative NATOPS correct calls based on performance during the approach (single player ops) Tanker track around carrier for some organic refueling HORNET: Just a DCS A-10C level of detail bird ACLS tied to the carrier for some CV 1 approaches in the soup and at night (maybe to include errors for needles check). Simulated hand gestures for zip lip ops for wingman to see and respond too (e.g. formation and kiss off gestures) OK, that is it for now.

LORD FLASHEART Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hey that's a great list. At the end of the day I'd be happy with a meatball as good as the one we have by Anubis on the CVN77. It's really changed everything for us. The PLAT cam is inop this weekend but as we recorded a CQ and a normal recoveryl ast week here is the squad plat tape: J9WxU793QIs[/YouTube] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 This video features Sting 304 'Curveball' logging his 6 CQ traps for the start of 2017. Also shown are the various alternative LSO views that come with our CVN-77 mod as viewed in Virtual Reality through an Oculus Rift. ncHxVnknnWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthaltli Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi JAR, I downloaded the CVN-77 Mod from the Stingers website, but didn't see any documentation on how to get to the views shown in the video (e.g. LSO, Vultures Row, etc). Any help on how to access these predefined view points that are tied to the carrier? Thanks for the help brother!

LORD FLASHEART Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 In the CVN77 folder you need to open up the 'bush.lua' with notepad++. Scroll down a bit and you'll see some LSO view values in there. To enable a view remove the -- in front and add them to the one you are disabling. Not sure how up to date that versions views are, I re-did them for VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthaltli Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks JAR. I edited the .lua file and was able to get the LSO platform view after hitting Left Alt + F9. How does one call up the other views while in DCS (assigned keys/buttons)? I mocked up an LSO platform image of what hopefully may be in DCS VR one day :thumbup: [sIGPIC] "GOONIE" [/sIGPIC] "GOONIE" CSG-1 VFA-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 That is an awesome photo Goonie thanks for making it! :D This weeks landings. STING 303 has had a few weeks off and had developed a LINED UP LEFT trend, practice traps are included to highlight. You get to hear grumpy LSO Jar when he sees his calls not acknowledged. For those unfamiliar with the LSO shorthand please refer to the front page of our website (under the greenie board). biZ3IWbJL8o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD FLASHEART Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Today we welcomed new pilot 'Trigger' who took the controls of STING 311. He flew his first 6 trap Carrier Qual before our mission landings were recorded. kafNJS7BYp8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thought I'd share our latest training film which steps out our formation procedures: iWfX6s81c6w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthaltli Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Nice! I like the new video. Definitely learned something. Do you guys make simple calls to get in formation, or have you figured out a way to have the Virtual Pilot in the cockpit give "zip lip" hand gestures? Maybe one day with VR gloves it would be possible :) [sIGPIC] "GOONIE" [/sIGPIC] "GOONIE" CSG-1 VFA-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Whoever is lead tends to pre-brief the launch rendezvous then inbound formation. What you see in the video is our basic SOP that has been in place for about a month. During the mission lead will simply utter directions like "Sting flight, cross turn" and everybody crosses their fingers and hopes to end up in the right spot! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
