Honestabe Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 What is the max speed the carrier can go, assuming no wind, and launch the F-18? Seems like when I build a mission and the carrier is going 30 knots (max speed) the F-18 can't get enough lift and crashes into the ocean. If it is set to a slower speed, lets say 11 knots, there is no issue. The weight on the F-18 is about 47k so i'm using 17 degree trim w/full AB.

David OC Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) From what I have seen it's 25 to 30 kts of wind over the deck for landing (powered or wind and powered to make 30. 20 + 10 etc), not sure about speed when launching, it would not be more than 30 tho for landing aircraft at the same time. Are you setting half flaps?

WildBillKelsoe Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 shouldnt overspeeding carrier have its front tilted up like any speeding boat, thus AoA will be much higher and compounded as opposed to a parked carrier? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Are you setting half flaps? Edit: Oh.. and welcome to the forum Honestabe Hi Last week we did a multiplayer LAN session with the carrier group set to 56Km/Hr (30.24 Knots) Several bad things happened. F18 player aircraft could not easily turn right onto the Cat without massive power input. Aircraft were being pushed sideways down the deck. Other escort ships, tankers and cargo ships could not keep up with the carriers. Stennis could not keep up with Kuznetsov, even though set to the same speed Player in a Harrier rearming on the deck of the Tarawa unit paying attention jwas pushed Into the water by the wind over the deck. So 30Knotts may be too much? I’m not sure. I thought ED had fixed aircraft skittering on the deck when parked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David OC Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It's all a bit (WIP) Early access at the moment, many are keeping the speed of the carrier to 20 kts for the moment until the /sea/carrier/deck/tyre moving physics are better. Honestabe is not having this problem? I'm wondering if he is doing a cold start on deck and not setting the flaps to half? Or not connecting to the catapult with U key. Not tried this, but has anyone forgot to lower there wings.:D i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Honestabe Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Using half flaps, definitely attaching aircraft to cat. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
