DCS: F-14 Carrier Landing SHB [Demo]

Still got a lot of work to do on it but it's coming along!

"Luke, you've switched off your targeting computer. What's wrong?"

That was awesome.

Really impresing.

Maverick, may I ask you how you stay so stable at 800ft before the break ? I seem to always have to make small adjustments and retrim. What stick do you have and what curves ?

Just having the aircraft trimmed properly sir. I fly level and make adjustments with the stick to stay level then I trim the aircraft so I no longer have to make stick adjustments to stay level.

I use a Logitech 3D pro stick with a Saitek X52 throttle. My pitch curve is 10 with a dead zone of 1.

And to trim you just use a hat switch ? I always feel like the trim steps are "too big" and I end up trimming in one direction then the other

Yes I use the HAT switch for trim, it works really well for me

Don't worry, you're not alone ;)

Otherwise, nice vid!

The Logitech 3D pro stick with a Saitek X52 throttle was my favourite combo for BMS & then DCS tried all the others and still think the above is still a top combination.

I couldn’t agree more! I wouldn’t swap my set up for any of the higher end stuff, I’ve been using 3D pros for over 15 years and swear by them.

Some further testing of this theory required, but I am thinking my big mistake causing the "my trim is never good enough!" feeling is that i never settle on a speed. new speed, new trim. if you get your speed set, you can get your trim set.

100%, if your speed changes, so does your trim. :thumbup:

Extremely well done!

A trick I heard from an SME here is in level flight - 800ft, inbound for the carrier break, wings swept, set your fuel flow to 4000 pph around 400kts and it will hold 400kts beautifully.

Now any time I'm in level flight, I just find a fuel flow I want usually between 4000-5000pph and let the airspeed figure itself out. Then trim.

Is setting the fuel flow in the manual. If so, please tell me what page. I cannot find anything dealing with this, unless I have not yet found the information I am looking for. If not, can someone explain to me how I can set my fuel flow. I read in Victory's Case I landing tips, that he mentions the same thing. I cannot find any documentation on this, and it sounds important.

Im new to DCS, and yes, I am starting with the Tomcat. :cry:

In the tape engine gauge the two on the right are fuel flow in pounds per hour. Just move the throttle untill desired fuel flow, nothing special

Gotcha. I was assuming there was a flow limit you could toggle to keep the fuel flow from going over a desired amount. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
