You still have all the aids and mechanics from air rb such as rwr hud,speed,altitude,ammo,weapons systems …fuel,engine status…etc ,all in the same hud used in RB when it’s in the cockpit.sure one can turn it off via settings but my opponent/adversary won’t be as limited ,this puts the players at a level playing field when it come to a game advertised as a simulator such as the game digital combat simulator .learning to look around the cockpit to know where you compass is or changing radar screens/MFD would inherently make the detailed cockpits the devs have worked on more useful.learning bearings from your cockpit hud,learning bandit range and altitude from radar, learning rwr indicators ,and more should be part of a gamemode like Enduring Confrontation.
Yeah, that was a bitter pill to swallow, when they announced they remodeled modern airfields, claiming special attention to realistic airport lighting that they also developed together with real pilots - only to then see they have not added any approach lights and only taxiway lights and “christmas trees” were slightly improved…
PAPI/VASI is standard since quite early in the already quite long history of computer flight simming (as would be working flight path markers /HUD’s, I have to add)…
Interesting idea, but who would use it?
90 percent of players in a session have negative KD, and a significant portion of those who land do so in an “arcade belly landing” style.
Farmers don’t think about returning to the airport while performing their kamikaze missions :D But yes, let’s add PAPI lights.
there are no night maps…
But that game mode literally encourages you to return to the af (although it’s really missing the ability to change your loadout after landing). And I encounter bad weather or poor visibility in Sim EC quite often.
…which has absolutely nothing to do with PAPI/VASI.
Yes a lot of players would not use it, but it’ would be a low effort addition that would increase immersion and would be used by players who actually care about flying the airplane, not just controlling it.
Is PAPI really operating? Or do the developers really understand how PAPI operates? I have never seen PAPI actually providing information in the game. No matter from which angle you enter it, it will always show 2 white and 2 red.
