DCS Super Carrier, or how Will learned to love skittles of all the wrong colours

TLDR I skipped everything after reading vr tweaks. Msaa mask yaay

So Super Carrier is not part of this beta? I’m not seeing it…

Absolutely! With Chuck’s guide in hand I’m sure you’ll be back up to speed in no time. I’m picking up the F-14 for the SC. I haven’t flown her in some time and I found a mod that made the labels readable in VR.

It’s not up yet. the SC should be in today.

Do I need to update DCS Updater to include the Super Carrier before I use it to update the beta (it doesn’t appear to be out yet anyway)…?

Update thread is probably the right spot :slight_smile:

No need to remove it or anything. Just for future reference.

Can’t go without it anymore; real handy with those ball calls for sure.

EDIT: Lot of good stuff in this patch.

And I still swear they’ve added a ‘burble’ behind the boat. In that YT I posted (somewhere here recently) I kept thinking I felt ‘it’. Was very subtle. I’ve no idea how pronounced it is in RL (sure it depends on various things). I had the boat at 15 knots with 15 knots of wind down the deck. They have wake turb. modeled so, why not, eh?

Or it’s just in my head :slight_smile:

Huh, I’ve been doing a crash course (so to speak) in the Hornet as I haven’t flown it in probably a year. [EDIT: Actuall, I guess you could say I’ve been doing a crash course in DCS as I haven’t been in it for so long] But, as I’ve been doing traps, I’ve been thinking “oh, they added a burble”. I didn’t know it was a question. Interesting.

I just updated and I’m getting an “Invalid username or password” dialog. What’s going on with that?

Edit: Nevermind, it’s working now.

Super carrier is installed now.

So I just played this awesome user created mission - goes through the cold start on the carrier and has like 100 custom kneeboard pages that are fantastic. Some really nice Easter Egg sound effects as you progress through the mission too…

I even managed a 3-wire after months away…! (Not so much on centerline though…)

The burble effect should actually be coming later in early access. So far, I never noticed any.

Love watching the deck guys hook you up…and I can never figure out how far forward to taxi for the catapult, so having the dude waving me forward is awesome…!

I don’t know if this was in the game prior…but when you get to the shuttle, it sort of stops your forward progress slightly and you actually have to bump the power just slightly to get the launch bar to ride over the shuttle. Very cool…

Here is some testing of the new dimensions. Stennis, SC, and old trusty Carl Vinson.

Love the lineup laser thingy and the pop up IFLOLS - not sure that it is really necessary these days. Haven’t checked it in VR though. I did not use proper landing comms or anything, so I assume once you do that the LSO platform gets populated maybe?
