Updated Supercarrier Guide: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/228670-... • Hey everyone, Wags here from Eagle Dynamics. In this DCS: Supercarrier update, we’ll be looking at the new deck crew feature that allow plane directors, yellow shirts, to direct player and AI aircraft from parking locations to catapults and from the landing area to a parking location. • This is supported in both single player and multiplayer with the option to disable. • We’re currently behind the six pack and waiting for the division ahead of us to launch. I’ve already got the APU running and have completed my checks. • To start the new deck crew, launch procedures, we need to alert them by either selecting the Salute command from the Ground Crew radio menu or pressing the Left Control + Left Shift + Left Alt + S key combination route. If you decide to use the hot key, you may certainly wish to bind to a simpler key press in the Controls set up for Supercarrier. • Our plane captain has now given us the engine start signal, and we have an “Awaiting engine startup” message. Let’s crank the right engine. Once we do, the message will be removed and replace with an “Awaiting salute gesture message”, meaning, the when next give the Salute command, we are indicating our readiness to taxi. • With that done, I’m going to skip ahead to the next phase. • When we are ready to taxi, we’ll give the Salute command again, and the plane captain will hand us off to the plane director ahead of us, marked with the purple icon over his head. As mentioned earlier, these helper icons are optional. • At this point, we precisely follow the plan directors as the pass between each leg of the route to the catapult. Trust the directors, even if you think they are going to taxi you off the deck. • Deck crew direction is quite similar after landing, and it will direct you from the box to a parking location. • Once landed and the hook and flaps are raised, you must then taxi forward and not immediately taxi out of the box with no direction. Once you taxi ahead, a plane director will direct you out of the box and hand you off to the next director. • If you wish to rearm, refuel, repair, or re-launch, you must first taxi and stop at the directed parking spot. Do not taxi directly to a catapult. Once at the parking spot, you will be rotated 180-degrees, and a menu appears that gives you the mentioned options. You can toggle this on or off by pressing Left Control + Left Alt + Left Shift + P. • If the route to the catapult becomes blocked, you will be teleported to a different parking spot with clear route to a catapult. • If you get stuck or just want to skip the taxi process, you can press Left Control + Left Alt + Left Shift + T to teleport to the parking spot. • While we’re waiting, let’s go over some important points: • From the Controls, Supercarrier tab, we have several new options that include the ability to enable this new deck crew feature, or only just the deck crew around the catapults as before. The ability to toggle purple helper icons over the active plane director. Toggle on or off deck taxi messages. Limit your maximum speed on the deck and have simplified signals. • We’ve changed how wheel chocks work. They will now only be removed once taxi clearance has been given. • It’s very important to follow plane director orders as carefully as possible and only launch from the catapult directed. • When in multiplayer, we strongly recommend conducting launch and recovery operations at the same time. Better to complete all of one operation before doing the other. If not, there could be plane director errors. • When landing, it’s also very important to contact carrier ATC and follow instructions properly. To not do so will cause wave offs.
