DCS: SUPERCARRIER OPERATIONS

An important and challenging feature of DCS: Supercarrier has been the development of night operations. Over the past year, we have been working on several aspects that will soon be released to Open Beta. These include new deck crew animations that utilize the new skeletal animation system, new animations that are specific to night operations and the inclusion of light wands. This will make deck operations at night much easier and more realistic. #dcsworld

I just look back and think of how lucky we are to have something like DCS for us aviation nerds. Thank you ED

[@Linus76]

I know, right?

[@mcnugget3851]

@@Tattlebot No one is saying DCS is flawless. It’s far from it. However DCS first and foremost is a air combat simulator so more focus should be put on that aspect. But progress is being made just look at the new technicals and other ground elements. I’m sure it’ll come in due time

[@velamenradicum]

Wise words, mate!

[@astalecookie6778]

For real man, I have no clue what other flight sim I would play if there was no dcs

[@sgtkikkoman_]

the main reason this is so cool (and it is very cool) is the added sound effects and background chatter, I really hope some form of ambient noise is included with the update, it really brings the ship to life.

[@echovictordcsworld]

Even something as simple as a realistic sound of wind adds so much

[@plokkum]

Upvoting and commenting for visibility. I would also love to add world position sounds in the mission editor. It would add sooo much to the immersion.

[@m_hero15]

True they should consider it random short voice lines as sfx for supercarrier

[@EagleDynamicsTV]

I have passed on the request to the team. Thanks - Scott / bignewy

[@Luke_van_de_Rest]

@@EagleDynamicsTV definitely need that ambient sound! Wow...

[@Katronicle]

Thought this was a real comparison until that second shot, absolutely amazing. Keep up the work you all do, we appreciate you.

[@doconline]

I've been using DCS for years now and this has to be the hardest I've ever been fooled. The realism is seriously becoming indistinguishable at this point. What a time to be alive.

[@eXX0n]

Except all the lights on the deck that should be off during night OPs. Hope they fix that.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I spent 4 years on the flight deck of the Theodore Roosevelt from 86 to 90. The realism here is staggering. Not many things give me chills, this did. One of the observation weather decks is on the island, about half way up (level 14 if I remember) is where we watched night ops. That yellowish light, all the colored batons, it all looked just like this. At that time we had 2 squadrons of Tomcats and 2 of the Hornets. The best time to watch was when we first went to sea. All the airwing had to go thru carrier quals. Shake off rust and for some it was their first real deployment. You would see many bolters and many shaky approaches. But you also saw every aircraft in action. The S-3 Vikings, the E-2 Hawkeyes, the Intruders and the helos. Fond memories indeed

[@Pc-fs7vc]

"It's a flight sim, it doesn't need ground detail" Eagle Dynamics: "Hold my Supercarrier"

[@joshprout1726]

My daughter is 4 and she loves to hold the VR goggles on her face while I manage the controls and fly her around all the environments and weather conditions the Eagle Dynamics team has given us! I think back to the sims we thought were cutting edge technology compared to what we have now. Also to what the ED team will have for us in the future when my daughter is big enough for the VR goggles to fit her

[@EagleDynamicsTV]

I did the same when my daughter was younger, we have come along way with simulations, can't imagine where we will be in 10 years time. Thanks. -NineLine/Norm

Seriously just amazing. The new skeletal animation is so good it looks like real video. The lighting, the shadow treatment, even movement of the deck crews clothing.... all just fantastic. Like being there. Thank you.

[@mohammadtaleghani5973]

It's becoming more and more realistic and cool with each update! One thing that I noted tho, is that when the catapult officer (Shooter) points his hands and gives the shooting signal, the plane is shooted 1 sec later every time. whereas in reality, there is some random delay (never the same). it would be very cool to implement this random delay in the upcoming updates. Having a plane captain giving signals during the startup procedure or yellow shirts guiding you around the deck to park and taxi would be a very cool addition too.

[@zdenekcizek6681]

It is incredible how real sounds added to a DCS footage make the result so real looking! Fantastic work!! :)
