Hasler Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 A bit rusty. I have not done carrier OPS in a few years, and my rudder pedals are broke right now so that added a small extra layer of difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmedges Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) I’m having a real hard time with a few things in my pattern approach. The turn from upwind to downwind at 800ft and 350 knots. I’m turning too sharply and therefore too close to the carrier. Maintaining altitude when dropping gear and lowering flaps. My left hand turn when seeing the back of the carrier deck. I all too often sink during that turn and come in too low behind the ship. I should be about 350 ft but i usually come in at 250-300 and not “in the groove” at all.

I all too often sink during that turn and come in too low behind the ship. I should be about 350 ft but i usually come in at 250-300 and not “in the groove” at all. Basically my problems as well. The rule of thumb for pulling G in the crosswind turn was very helpful - pull G to your airspeed (so 350kts, pull 3.5 G). I never leave the HUD during that turn - I set flaps to full before the turn (the FCS takes care of not overspeeding them), and I have the gear mapped to my Warthog throttle so I don't have to take eyes off the HUD. Really important to anticipate that sink when you turn base, it can mess up your approach very quickly. It's tempting to extend your downwind to have more time, but you do then end up in a long groove and have to hold altitude to intercept the glideslope.

The Integrator Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I updated the OP with my first attempts and eventual success (at least in the sense that I put the plane on the deck, but it was not pretty...)

Doum76 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 No video. But I landed, caught a wire. Plane could (probably) be used again, but i'm pretty sure I would have been court marshaled and never allowed near the boat again. ;) So i guess the no video thing is to make sure you have no eye witnesses to kill in caes off huh? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabbers video should help you out a lot. Also, remember to anticipate that drop after the flaps are fully deployed at half. High and fast is always preferred over low and slow.

DeadlyBilgeRat Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Pardon my ignorance, I'm still discovering what is in this sim. Are the carrier operations part of DCS 2.5 or is it in installed mod? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Pardon my ignorance, I'm still discovering what is in this sim. Are the carrier operations part of DCS 2.5 or is it in installed mod? The CVN-74 Stennis is part of 2.5, there are a couple of 'Instant Action' CASE 1 and CASE 3 Carrier Landing Missions included with the Hornet but so far I've only landed on carriers I've placed in my own missions made in the editor. What might confuse you re:mods is there are some optional user scripts and camera mods that add extra options for AI text player feedback ('you're high') and/or better views for a coop LSO, video editing, etc. Edited October 18, 2018 by Ramsay Hornet carrier landings are found in the 'Instant Action' missions. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
