Re: Mod Ets 2 Auto-stop
Julio Cesar Thap
I see what you mean. Still it is a procedure that needs to be remembered or written down. The start and shut down procedures really do not interest med all that much. There is plenty of other stuff to learn. Hence I would prefer the auto-stop feature...
I'll try it. The idea was to be able to start the aircraft easily again with auto-start. With this solution a lot of switches will be in the wrong position. But I understand that what I am looking for is not available, so I'll give it a try...
so if there is really no auto-stop, the easiest way for you is, perform an autostart, after your ride taxi to parking spot and only shut down the engines via Throttle to off. Leave the switches where they are. When you are ready for the next ride, turn on
not really an alternative, rather its exactly how we wanted our simulator to behave, in a hi-fidelity emulation of reality. the one-button start feature is like for absolute beginners who play in unrealistic arcade-mode, like my little sister, for example.
It's possible someone who has no responsibilities, no friends, no family, and leads a lonely existence of sitting in a dark room all day with VR goggles strapped to their face might enjoy repetitively pressing the same sequence of simulated buttons over and over. But it's not for everyone.
There is so much to learn and do in each DCS aircraft, and so little free time. To be somewhat current on the various types I try to use my limited amount of time available learning the systems and actually fly the aircraft. This instead of scratching my head every time I want to fly wondering how I start this thing. It just does not interest me.
I've been playing since the Jane's F/A-18 and LOMAC days and I use auto starts, hot starts, and air starts when I have limited time to play and don't feel like going through a 10 min INS alignment in some aircraft.
Try to open up your mindset and consider that people with schedules and jobs might not have the time you do, or that they just may prefer getting in the air to do the flying or fighting quicker instead of spending time flipping switches and knobs.
Personally, I don't want the timer to stop when a workout has ended. Most of my workouts are on the road and I don't always end my run when the workout is finished. I like that the run is tracked until I choose to end it. If one forgets to stop the timer at the end of the workout, it can easily be cropped in GC after the fact.
You can't edit a Garmin Coach workout for example. So yes, you can complete a workout as programmed or provided, but still not complete your run. I often end my workout up to a mile away from my house. I prefer that I track the portion after the completion of the workout to when I finish running at my driveway. Obviously others don't. This request/argument has been made several times across Garmin's watch family. Some want an auto-stop, some don't. Maybe an option for the user to decide would be best.
I do also agree, I'd personnaly prefer not to auto-stop (or make it an option to make everybody happy). Moreover, the current behaviour is somehow inconsistent : a Garmin Coach workout will auto-stop while a suggested workout won't.
I would also like to have the option for the training to end automatically, it doesn't make sense to set up a training with a defined duration and the training ends and continue counting. On the garmin 235 it was the default behavior, I don't know why they changed. It's what I miss most about the garmin 245.
It was standard in the first series of Garmin. Don't know why they have removed it. At least they could have made it a user option. Many of my runs i participate in time trials where it is important to have a clean run and it just annoys me to see that my 5K race is 5020.
