D4n Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Please add animations/gestures for player pilot characters, so that players can play different animations that other players can see, for non-verbal communication to either the left, center or right side.

bomber Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 That’s a nice idea. I hope it can be done. Seconded. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] This must be reality, no sim can have this many bugs! 13700kf, 4090, 64gb. HP g2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank50us Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 It would only be useful in WW1 and WW2 scenarios, but since the more modern aircraft are all equipped with radios that work, I don't really see a need for it there, unless it's interacting with ground crew.

(the impolite pilots wouldn't even know that the pilot right next to them is a pilot whose voice they don't "like" so everybody would finally get along totally fine!)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that hand signals are still a thing in modern military aviation as well. Aren't they for instance used during AAR?

After all, all you need is a very short-range radio set in the boom operators seat so that he/she can talk to the guy coming up to the tanker and give them instructions. Besides, in cloudy or low-light conditions, while you can see the station from the other aircraft, you may not be able to see the dude in the seat of that aircraft, let alone what their hands are doing. So while I'm sure there's probably a list of hand signals that pilots and operators train on, odds are, they're seldom, if ever used at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the host signals the receiver that he's cleared to form up behind him and plug into the basket.

Lt_Jaeger Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hand signs are a thing, even have some pages in NAVAIR. Think EMCON, you don't want to tell the bad guys that you are coming. Even if the radio is crypted, it is pretty easy to get position data on the chatting guys. So yes, a great thing, only not sure if I would see this hand signs flying in Vr. So, +1 even so if I most probably will find it kinda strange to initiate hand signs via key presses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
