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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIvnLgLuVFs

Official Video is out. Imagine being a kid, and ‘Nick’ is your dad, waking you up every morning to that voice. I’d be in therapy.

I just imagine him sitting at the dinner table…and in that voice…

“Pass the potatoes please…”

Or at the drive-through…

“I’d like the six pack of chicken nuggets and a diet coke…”

Keep the cards & letters [posts] coming men. I need something to do/read for about 5 HOURS! (while it downloads). No [big] pix :wink: /JK

The bad weather shots are stunning :star_struck:

I def like the coms: being put in the marshal stack, calling comence and paltform.

Getting low on fuel after a SEAD misson. Would liked if they had turned into the wind.

I guess the boss didn’t like my boarding.

What’s the command / key to look from LSO area?

Well, my first approach to the Super Carrier was a wave off…but a 3 wire on the second try. Having the IFLOLS popup is a huge help in VR (at least with the Rift S). :+1: :+1:

Yes that first shot is absolutely amazing. The second shot too :slight_smile:

No it wasn’t and I believe in one of Wags’ videos he mentioned nudging the power to get over the shuttle. I don’t think that I ever received the launch bar up signal. But the yellow shirt asked me to run 'em up, so we’re good.

If anyone is interested where the SC missions are like I was, they are in - MISSION > F/A-18C. Of course I looked at INSTANT ACTION then TUTORIAL first :thinking:

SC is a nice addition. It’s good to see some humans. Are the clouds different? They seem a little softer. Maybe a bit more real.

I’ve been getting “down” and “up” every time.

And in case not everyone was aware, mods/tech/supercarrier/docs has a nice 88 page manual.

I have placed the carrier and some static objects.
Looks nice so far, going to really put it to the test in the next few days, which will include letting a ton of planes land and see how the despawning and so on work, especially if some of the elevators are blocked.

High on my wish list: standard carrier group “templates”. I’d love to be able to pick a carrier, its configuration (how crammed the deck is, if in launch or recovery config and so on, the static objects like the crane being in reasonable places), the number of ships in the group and the frequencies, and the sim just spawns the whole group including an overhead tanker, an AWACS, a rescue helo and properly place all the ships and assign ICLS and TACAN.
The sim would also check the wind settings and place the course correctly.

That would be rad.

@Hangar200 will be pleased to see someone’s been reading your test logs!

I think there is one in F-18 module already. Check it out. Or at least there is a mission template.

You can find a record of your LSO grade in “Logs/debrief.log”; the text on the screen wasn’t staying up long enough for me to interpret.

Well, at least I haven’t had a ramp strike… :roll_eyes:

Is there a way to recall text messages?
