Nooch Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Would be nice if we didn't have wheel chocks ON by default when spawning on the carrier. Not only is it completely unrealistic (there aren't any wheel chocks on a carrier, they use chains instead) but it is also completely useless as it doesn't prevent sliding on the deck.

QuiGon Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The chocks do prevent you from rolling. ED just needs to rename them to chains. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

You're not gonna roll anyway, the parking brake is enabled by default. Also forgot to mention that Hornets placed as static objects have chocks on deck too. It just looks plain wrong, there's no arguing it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo52 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Actually jets on the flight deck are held in place with 6 chains AND both main mounts choked during flight ops and 12 chains double chocked after flight ops.

You don't know what you are talking about. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooch Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I thought chains replaced them for some reason. Thanks for correcting my ignorance, at least I've learned something today. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball". About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces. The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'
