Capn kamikaze Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 I was thinking you'd just jump into the role if you're still in the lobby, when someone contacts the tanker if you've not selected a flying role yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn kamikaze Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Kind of like a dialogue box comes up (if you enable it in your DCS options) for everyone in the lobby if someone calls a boom equipped tanker from a plane that uses the boom like say an F-15 or A-10 and then if you hit ok, you're put in the boom operators seat until you decide to go back to the spectators/role selection list.

Rakkis Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Do you really want to fly in circles for hours? This has been brought up a lot recently especially with folks who would like to see a C-130 module. Do I want to fly for hours in a circle? no. But theres a good number of FSX and MFS players that do. Perhaps they WOULD like to fly in circles for hours in a sim with the fidelity level that DCS offers. Perhaps they'd like the extra challenge a COD run and landing a C-2 Greyhound on a carrier, flying orbits in an AWACS or E-2 Hawkeye, dropping humvees off at the FOB in a C-130, Flying the KC-135 or S-3 Viking. dont thinks its a bad idea to get more folks into the community and think at least ONE of the above options she be strongly considered even if at a FC3 level or fidelity.

Absolutely - I would love to fly AWACS or transport missions in an hostile Environment. What would be even more awesome is to fly a dedicated bomber like a B-1B or a B-52. There are a lot of people in the fligt sim sommunity who just love the aviation aspect, which is sometimes forgotten in Combat Sims. For alot of simmers it's not about blowing stuff up, but flying a C-130 or a B-52 in a realistic environment according to Standard procedures, navigating and dealing with random failures. Just take a look at the civil Aviation Sims how succesfull Commercial Flying Modules e.g. the 747, 777, the A320 are. I think there would be a sufficiant number of people who would enjoy flying a tanker and switching to the Bomm Operator Position for the tanking process itself. With the high fidelity modeling of the Flightmodel and the Systems there is a lot potential.

Capn kamikaze Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Rakkis, I think you must not have read the thread, this idea is not about flying for hours in circles, it is about being able to jump into a role when notified that that role is going to be something other than sitting there looking out a window.

falcon_120 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 An E3 awacs module would be awesome for MP, though i see it more like a module to control de radar displays etc... though changing to the pilot seat and controlling the plane would also be nice.

mr_mojo97 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 VEAO once had a boom operator on the table - sounds like 5 minutes of fun. Means nothing now though since they are now dissolved. But yeah, flying a C-130 through a combat zone sounds appealing to me too.
