Pabsty Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Does anybody have a good source for the ww2 carrier landing pattern? Did they have an earlier version of the marshal stack/case 1 recovery pattern? Any thoughts on what the radio procedures, light or flag signals would be? The best I've found so far online is this image. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migmadmarine Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Seeing the LSO mentioned there has me hoping they develop a way to script a useful paddle officer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT Crunch Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Be sweet to have a little box open up with a close up of the LSO when you hit the last leg in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t this in Pacific Fighters? It’s been a while. Regardless, I second the motion. It was a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some things that the monitor just cannot match to with our eyes, and I suspect a small man waving two flags around on the carrier deck would be one of those things. I think the window LSO would be an agreeable compromise really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an RTX 6090 with 64GB DDR7 memory. Just a matter of time, three to four years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnloop Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 There is a LSO mod for IL2 46, one can see the flags from far enough, with the correct pattern. Since it's animated but not IA, it doesn't give any useful indication, but it really adds omething visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m also recalling that you could sink a cruiser with four 20mm cannon in that game too😲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) Absolutely you need an LSO window. I’m on one of those 34 inch monitors, and very few can see the f@$&ing ball in DCS, so they made a little window. (“Tomcat 205, ball, six three” lol, lie) Any carrier sim should do the same.

rowdyb00t Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Looking forward to the @Requiem videos on take off and landing with each plane. I didn’t read anything about wind direction for take off and landing. I’m assuming the carrier heads into the wind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s going to head across the wind until you collect 50 sky coins, and at least 15 wildcats, and then you are given a promotion and the carrier will then head into the wind. —— edit: After pondering my previous post over a drink, I’m sorry I was a jerk, but yes, carriers head into the wind. I agree, you should definitely seek out that Requiem fellow. Edited May 30 by Sea Serpent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amiral Crapaud Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 At any rate, regarding the Japanese equivalent to the LSO, which is a light system called the chakkan shidoto, we posted a few things on the discord, if some of you wanted to know more. Taken from Parshall and Tully's Shattered Sword and Stefan Draminski's Aircraft carrier Hiryu in Osprey's Anatomy of the ship series. 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
