Getting out your aircraft. Suggestions for Dev.

[seafireliv]

Ok, VR is interesting and I`m in the process of setting up controls so I can access them `blind` would be nice to have some kind of VR toggleable interface...

 

Anyway, I landed after a mission and thought, "Wouldn`t it be nice to walk around my aircraft and inspect it?" Then it dawned on me to just stand up physically and walk out, which I did! I actually got to look at my Spitfire from the outside, which was very nice. I could even look down the runway.

 

However, I`m the same  level as the plane when I should be on the ground. Also I can`t walk all the way AROUND it cos the room isn`t big enough.

 

How about implementing a basic button press to step out on the ground of the aircraft and simple moves (via VR controllers and keyboard) so we can virtual walk about the aircraft? Skyrim VR has a simple button press to get off and on your horse and stroke the round pad to walk about.

 

Also vanish the pilot model when we are outside in this mode.

This could also be done for  2D non-VR users too so they can walk outside their aircraft and inspect it. I wanted to do this even before VR was a thing.

yup, I miss this feature as well. When flying in MP, going for a bomb run, surviving the enemy attack from the ground (flak) and from the air, once back home on the ground I want to reminisce about the sortie, look at all the holes I got from the flak, bullets, etc..  It'd be super cool.

IMO it simply wouldn’t add enough to the game to justify the time and cost needed to implement it.

Just start recording at track as soon as you land then replay the track and hit F2.   You can the move 360 degrees around your aircraft and examine the damage.

That`s not quite the immersion i`m looking for.

 

It`s the stepping out the aircraft in real time, after a flight, or even before an actual flight is what i`m asking for.

I understand. But I do not agree.

Easy. You only have you set up your rig in an elevated room/place which you can only access with a ladder. So when you get out of your seat you would actually have to climb down on a ladder. No Dev work required and more immersive for you.

Maybe there is some tool that can augment your position in the Room. I Mean i already have an app that can put virtual screens on the back of your controllers giving me on-board Entertainment in a Warbird.
