I really wish they would model the supercarrier, and include a first person mode, where you could go from the briefing room to strapping into the plane at mid-deck, then get lifted by the elevator, and then get set for launch! It would be a hefty add-on, but would do wonders for immersion. Heck, I wish they just had a feature where you could get out and walk around your plane. I know there's already outside view, but to be in first person and have to slowly walk around these jets would help relay the feeling of their weight and how actually huge they are. But I digress.
you can walk around after you eject but the controls to walk around are a bit funky as the rudder is to turn your character and you can literally walk sideways while having a forward walking animation
Eagle Dynamics is working on this.
for the amount of money they are charging for the current DLC I would expect this to be included
How do you get to the briefing room view in the first place?
@@kevykevTPA I dunno, but they do it in real life somehow.
"There's no coffee break for these guys"
*Supercarrier personnel strikes confirmed in one month*
Haha nice!
I liked the part when you said I could spread my wings. It means a lot.
you mean a lot
This wins the DCS internet
They did a really good job with the crew animations. There are times I almost expect one of them to turn around and flip me off while I'm watching them from an external camera.
lol
I'm amazed at how accurate this is. Not just the procedures, but little things like the operation of the launch bar, the hand signals (the mannerisms in particular), and even the one flight deck crewman shifting from one foot to the other as he waited to do something. I did notice that the interval between the shooter touching the deck and the actual firing of the catapult was sometimes a bit too short - that usually takes two or three seconds, but it was about right with some of the launches. I just got DCS the other day and I'm waiting for my HOTAS stuff to come in before I dig into it and start buying aircraft and modules.
Enjoy DCS, you will love it
What I am trying to say is....
Well job

My favorite youtubers and no replies?
It's free real estate
I just think this add so much more to dcs. Ed nailed this one out of the park.
The more I see of it the more I like the look of it all.
Animations are pretty damn good, and the life on deck is a welcome change
Nice work bud
Looking forward to your videos with it
"There goes the F-18 to deliver some Freedom"... 🤣
America, fuck yeah!
This is very helpful! Especially for a noob like me just starting out in DCS with the F-18C and Super Carrier modules something tells me I'm in over my head without helpful videos like yours!!!
You did a fantastic job with this! It looks so realistic it's amazing!
Thanks for the quick SC guide. I have watched several others also but still learned some new info from watching this.
Great video, Tricker. I really appreciate the detailed views of the flight deck crew, the launch animations and talk on keybinds. Five stars.
Sim Sedlo will be waiting for some missions from you!
Thanks for clarifying the commands for catapult cameras and cycling through the crew!
Nice video, very informative. I've been hosting supercarrier training servers all day, and I love it!
Draggable FLOLS! Thats why i watch Tricker videos. Always learn some little new thing. Prob because he actually reads manuals. Thanks for this nugget dude!
Exactly what I needed! Thanks man.
Some valuable information in this video. Great job!
Dude.... you did a great job explaining what was going on in your video. I'll be watching more of your tutorials because I just subcribed. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for comment!
THANK YOU !!! had zero clue i could do so much with the S.C mod
Thanks for the overview. Just awesome.
Great job Tricker. Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for commenting
Delivering freedom...lol great vid stud, thanks for the look!
Dope! We waiting for more DCS and BMS videos!
Wow 🤩 Simply great done and explained 👍 Thanks 🙏 for taking the time getting this across keep up the great work.😉👍👍👍
5:17 the dude in the background is over it lol
Thank you Tricker, very cool!
Really helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Tricker, and thank you for your help testing.
Very nice video. Great audio and editing!
Great video, Tricker. Thank you.
Nice video good info on the views key strokes.
This is badass 👍🏽 So realistic! Thanks for sharing!
This is some pro work.
Well done as always Tricker!
Thanks man, good to see you
Loved the video Tricker. Subbed!
Tricker, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
I learn from you Dad
"There is no coffe breaks for these guys..." Hahaha enjoyed that.
Nice video Tricker. Thanks for releasing it. I'll share it in my FB group.
Much appreciated!
Super vidéo, Thanks
Great video!
great vid, thanks
This is a great video. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Well I just bought it due to the pure epicness of this video!
Have fun!
Nice video man.
Nice Job!
Thanks for the guide
Any time
the animations for the deck crew are really cool, idk what any of it means it all looks like kungfu but its rly well animated
except for the run animations they run like robots lol
Lol yep
Thanks... good stuff! :)
Really learned a lot from your F/A 18 carrier cold start video, any chance of re-doing it now that Super Carrier is out?
Damn it looks so real! I wish I had something else than a Mac laptop, to give this a go!
Nice. Thanks.
Gotta say, the LSO looks like real party animal....Lol.
The carrier is really cool, and I can't wait to see what they do with it later on. I bought it shortly after they put it up for pre-order on Steam. I don't know how much I'll actually use it, but I got it anyway because it was extremely cool and I didn't mind throwing a few bucks their way.
Lol a party animal, he's been on the sea too long
@@TrickerDCS indeed, man's salty
To deliver some freedom... :D :D nice video!!
Good, next to make Forrestal class! :)
Thanks! Can you replay your approaches and watch them from the various viewpoints?
That is a very cool explanation I'm a huge hornet fan and actually had time in the legacy 1990's theater simulator at MCAS El Toro, California. I want to find someone who can help me get a DV visit on the carrier.
Excellent guide! Do you mind if I link this in my own (amateur) video of the Supercarrier?
Yah no worries, thanks for asking
Would love to see an E-3 Hawkeye join us in DCS. Being a Commercial pilot, that would make my day. All this Hornet stuff is far too stressful. LOL
Nice, what do you fly?
@@TrickerDCS Retired now, but used to fly Caravans and King Airs on contract.
@@zsifk3212 very cool, most the guys I fly with are pilots, stop by anytime
Thank you Mr Tricker....Looking forward to this :-)
I used DCS for helicopters, but need to go back to jets now :)
I was stationed aboard the TR In the late 90's
Nice, thanks for your service
Looking at the thumbnail... DCS needs a player driven AWACS. Bring a new level of immersion to online multiplayer.
For flying in circles, or the radar component? Former hardly adds immersion, latter is serviced by LotATC
Why not both?
Inb4 Multiplayer is filled up with bad Food Jokes
Lots of servers have this. Hoggit Georgia at War has human GCI and an AI one called OverlordBot which is actually really good.
@Southern Fun They probably haven't done this because it would take about the same amount of development as a fighter and make 5% of the sales. LotATC already exists too, it's not just F10 map.
Can't see the missions for an E2 module being particularly riveting. So cut out those bits and you basically have LotATC.
I’m with you not really a combat person but love the planes. I wish you could fly transport too like the c130 or c-17
My only qualm, and you can see it at 2:28, is that the crew direct you to raise the launch bar for the F-14, but actually kneeling back up again just disconnects it. At least visually, still works, but it does look a bit wonky.
This is being fixed but good catch!
@@TrickerDCS Haha, well sitting back in the RIO seat at that point I've got plenty of time to nitpick!
wish i could just download already guess when i wake up ill have a nice day of flying
FYI we have found that as of right now, the comms menu for 'Salute' for F-14 does not work. Shift-U still does though.
Yah this has been reported, thanks for sharing!
Nice video Yellow shirts are ABH “handlers” they run the flight deck not all are officers most are enlisted khakis represent E-7 and higher not just officers as well if they have camis on they are enlisted and below the rank of E-7 which is chief ranks
Thank you for the correction and comments
How do you bind your keys for "Salute" and "Ball Call" for the F-18 & F-14? thanks, Great Vidio!
Frame rate hit vs. Stennis? Great video, great detail, subscribed and thumbs up'd
So far it's been fantastic!
Good day sir, how to use elevator in the super carrier? Thks
how do you get your camera to follow the director?
The super carrier looks like mostly visual effect although there r some air defense weapon systems but those r hardly used in real life naval combat. It could if the situation gets to that point but...I guess I don't get a point of buying this mod but since im new, maybe there are some points that I have missed. How many different air crafts can I fly to take off and land on super carrier mod?
I just bought the Super Carrier through the Open Beta mod manager. I don't see it in my mods or missions. It didn't seem to download it. I see it in the install list. ??? Great video man !
Make sure you close dcs and then reopen it and go into your module manager, it should detect it not installed
@@TrickerDCS --- thank you i did that and refreshed it and it was in the missions. Its pure awesome sauce !
So if you buy the module are the carriers in servers improved for you.
Hello. How to load mission qualification with F-14 on the supercarrier module? Thanks.
It's in the instant action missions for f14
Excellent video, very well done, I have a couple of questions,
1/ I have bought and installed Supercarrier, it is shown as installed on my module manager, but I can't get it to load and so
2/ Do I have to buy the F/18 module separate in order to play?
Thank you! Install it through the module manager and you need an f18 or f14 to land on the carrier
@@TrickerDCS OK thanks, so to confirm I need to buy an additional F18 or F14 module to use it, that's a shame I thought they would have included the planes, oh well another $79.99 👍🏽😁
@@redstripe54 I wish it was that simple but yes you need to purchase an airplane on top of the super carrier. There is a free carrier in the game but it's not as sophisticated as this one.
@@TrickerDCS Thanks again 👍🏽
I think the free A-4C (Community A-4C &E) and the free T-45 (VNAO) will work with the Supercarrier. Regards-
exactly 2:08 what is that lil bubbled view thing popping up out of the deck, right there lower right. and 4:45
Integrated Catapult Control Station (ICCS)
navyaviation.tpub.com/14001/css/Integrated-Catapult-Control-Station-Iccs-Launching-Procedures-209.htm
I’m literally on the Roosevelt right now watching this video
Hell yah dude
I dont have keys assigned to see catapult view or crew on selected catapult? What are those keys called so i can assigne them
I'm away from my desktop but check adjust controls and then UI screen
Just installed the module, DCS 2.5.6 fired back up, I go to missions but nothing Supercarrier related shows...did I miss something?
Go to missions and click f18. If you have f14 there are instant action missions
“Deliver some freedom” 🤣👍🏻 🇺🇸
Anyone have a breakdown of the multiplayer rules for this module, or a link to where the definitive info is? If I create a mission with it, what are the limitations for the folks on my server who don't own it? Spawns/Launches/Recoveries - that stuff. How are RIOs handled for instance? 4 or 5 months ago there was some contention on these issues, just not sure how things have been resolved now that the module is released. Thanks in advance.
Everything in multi-player works like single player. Give it a go, it's alot of fun!
I have purchased the super carrier but don’t see it in my down load
Go to your module manager
"to deliver some freedom" lol
Just checking: Right at the start of the video you say "...released in the latest open beta for DCS World." *Released*, past tense. Is it actually out right now, or are you still referring to the press edition? Either way, thanks for the info in this vid.
You will be able to download very soon today
I bought the carrier off of steam but cant find it in my game ,will it work on Steam? I have heard their is a conflict between Steam and DCS World. Any help would be most appreciated.
Honestly Im not sure but I had a few steam users comment the same, sorry I don't use steam unfortunately. Check the forums
i couldnt get the comms to work last night, i got request startup and when i was running the option i got was request startup, they already gavce me startup permission but i never got any othjer options.
i ended up just going the the back of the boat and going full reheat to take off lol
Just pick a catapult and taxi up to it, they'll start guiding you!
What Mike said, taxi to a catapult and they will hook you up
@@TrickerDCS tried all 4. They ignored me
@@eatthisvr6 you have to select "request launch" from ground crew and not atc in the comm menu
You can still roll up to the cat, dude will guide you, you stop, kneel and they will do the hookup, then green shirt dude directs you to go forwards and stop when over the shuttle. From the yellow shirt dude gives you the whole throttle up command with his arms, and you use the exisiting salute option.
This is on the Tomcat side at least, not sure about Hornet because Tomcats > Hornets.
I have questions that I can't get anyone to answer. Can someone direct me to a video or tutorial on using VR with DCS. I bought the Samsung Odyssey VR setup but it does not appear to work with my DCS. Do I need to configure something differently? Do I need to download and run the VR version of DCS? there are so many videos out there but no one covers this issue. Going from the regular DCS and then adding the VR, there is something that I am missing somewhere. When I plug my VR headset in it automatically launches Mix reality, but I cant run DCS inside Mix reality. A little guidance is all I ask guy, please.
No worries, you need to do several things and it's explained in this video here. This is for a reverb but they both use the mix reality. th-cam.com/video/I7LiBh2fv0M/w-d-xo.html
I always wondered, why do some of those guys wear woodland camo pants on the carrier deck?
khakis represent E-7 and higher, camo is below E-7
The are Marine Squadrons attached to the carriers as well and they bring their own flight crews. Those are Marines sir.
@@heydeweyjr They are wearing the old M81 woodland bdus, not Marpat. I know of marine air wings, thats not the question I was asking
Got it. Not aware of the types of camo. I was blue side during my four years on TR. we were wearing dungarees and white jerseys with the big Red Cross on them at the time and hanging out in the Flight Deck BDS when we had free time and wanted to check out the flight deck during flight ops.
For some reason F-14 is not taking off after I do salute...Any clue what might be wrong? Everything else is working fine, I'm getting all commands from director, then I salute, he shows ahead - and nothing happens :(
Use the default salute command on the f14, Lshift U
@@TrickerDCS Thanks, that worked!!!
Is possible to hide FLOLS lights?, By the way, really good video
Thank you, not at this time but it's been requested
Hi.I am a newbie and just started playin DCS several days ago
Once the pandemic is over,i plan to buy the Su33 module.I know flaming cliffs 3 is better than only buying the Su33 alone but i feel it is a bit too expensive at over $25 currently,compared to the Su33's more affordable price of ~$7.Let alone after the pandemic where the price will most likely go higher than $40.But after i buy the Su33,what module should i buy next?Go for supercarrier?Or other map/aircraft?(sorry if the currency isnt accurate,i am not a US citizen)
I would buy a full fidelity aircraft first and learn how to fly and master the plane before moving on to the super carrier
@@TrickerDCS thanks!i would consider ato buy the f18 sometime in the future!
Good choice
Get that SU33, its a great aircraft and it's very inexpensive for what you get. I can't say enough about it. I am running it out of the FC3 module, but it's the same exact one you are thinking about getting.. The full fidelity aircraft purchase is also a good option but has the price-tag too.
only thing missing is a pitching deck!
Where did u get that skin from!
They are all default skins
Any fps tips? Mine drops from 60 to 35-40 when I'm on the supercarrier
Ouch that's no good, only thing I can suggest is make sure the deck isn't populated...I would post in the forums though, lots of good help there for these types of situations
@@TrickerDCS I'll do that 😀
How can I go about watching my own landing in LSO station ? Fly and land and then watch a trk and hit lft alt F9 ? F9 is also what shuts off my Trackir5.
That's correct, you can always change your key bindings in the game or go into your travkir and change the key bindings, mine is set to numpad 9 to reenter my trackir
@@TrickerDCS I bought a Redragon keyboard that has no number pad.
ctguy1955 I would suggest changing your controls inside of dcs then to a different combination
@@TrickerDCS I was able to watch my first landing...... F score !!! LOL Thanks Bro
Is it just for open beta now?
Correct
arent the wires numbered the other way around?
Maybe if you're Russian
what about supercarrier crew cold start???
Taxi to a catapult and they will direct you in
can the FLOLS HUD be deactivated?
Not yet
@@TrickerDCS i found that you can edit a Lua file to workaround but then the whole ball communicatiom seems not working. Whatever, fine when they add it later
my deck crew are quite juddery and shake about a bit on the deck whereas yours are silky smooth and glued to the deck, not sure why this is
Is your carrier speed and wind more than 30 knots across the deck?
@@TrickerDCS don't think so this happens on the quick start missions. Thanks for reply
