Pilot external Walk around feature - Enter/exit all aircraft

[Matt_j25]

Hi all,

 

Just another item to add to the wish list following today's newsletter update regarding the integration of the 3D briefing room for Supercarrier - 

 

The ability to be able to walk around as your pilot to your aircraft on the deck/tarmac and enter/exit your aircraft.

This would add a whole more realism to see others especially in multiplayer walking around in and out of their jets.

This would look very good in VR in particular.

 

We already have this function (sort of) when once ejected from your aircraft you can walk around. I think this would be a good full integration feature to the sim to up the realism even further.

 

Thanks

+1 Oh yes, that would be so great! In VR you can get a glimpse of it already as you can just walk through the plane to the outside by moving with your headset in the real world (cockpit has no clipping boundaries). Standing so close to your plane is sooo immersive and makes it feel real.

 

Even from the simulation point of view it makes sense as every pilot walks around the plane for visual inspection before flight. 

 

I would love the option to walk around in the virtual world with controller movement/teleportation as usual in VR games today and classic WASD controls for non-VR.

+1 would be fantastic, and I think it's even planned for the SC module.

I would love to be able to properly do a walk around

This is something ED has already stated that they plan to do eventually to add to the realism. See the below interview at 1:17:46.

Be fantastic to walk down the flight line doing a solo airshow admiring every module you ever bought, with a ladder climb mode turning on it's cockpit model when you rise to see it.  Think of movies some of the talented guys around here could produce with that feature.

Good to hear they’ve talked about making this a feature!
