Solty Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I don't think anyone ever used a binocular in a plane. What good would that be to use them in a prop plane with all those vibrations.

Snoopy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Often in an A-10, especially back in the late 90s early 2000s.

SDsc0rch Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) yeah.. when you look through binos, you just see a single circle if you're seeing two circles, that's actually using them wrong - you need to just widen it or narrow it and the two circles become one circle as to the overall point, yeah i could see getting an augmented view - but we kindof already have that, don't we? i've got the "zoom" function mapped to my TrackIr -- when i "lean forward" the view magnifies - my view "zooms in" i justify it by the fact that between the video card resolution, and the monitor resolution, and DCS LOD issues, its difficult to see another aircraft outside of a few miles - but sitting here at my desk, i can look out my window and see an airliner at 30k feet, 30- to 40-deg above the horizon (anyone want to do the math on that slant range?? i'm sure it works out to many many miles) but that same performance is missing in DCS ---- so, "zooming in" your view pseudo-artificially is allowed i'll allow it! 8) Edited January 10, 2015 by SDsc0rch 1 i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisIhao Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 What do you want it to do, look like this? If you've ever looked through a pair of binoculars, it doesn't actually look like this. That's a TV gag so that the audience knows that the view is through binoculars. Just zoom in. Lol. Not to be rude towards the op, but this gave me good laugh. Also completely forgot that I already could zoom (and even have mapped this on stick for easy access) when I started reading this thread.

AnnaNass Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Tell me, which modern military jet carries binoculars these days? You should see some military aircraft fly vids. Sometimes you see the crew with binoculars f.e. in A-10 or F-14. And we aren't fly the most "modern" aircraft in dcs. And believe me: i dont talk about flaming cliffs. i only mean the realistic models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaelu Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 binos for Rift uses! 10/10 approve Yes, this makes sense. Also binoculars like CA has but without smoke placing capability.

PFunk1606688187 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 If ED gave me 12X or 15X gyrostabilized binoculars for the A-10C I'd be happier than a hog rolling in shit. I don't need no stinkin' HMD. I don't need no stinkin' TGP. Just binos and a good talk on. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.

Always two circles for me. (my eyes are the problem, not the binoculars) Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
