Harley Davidson Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Just wondered if there would ever be a chance for ED to have a land based runway practice course you could set up. In training before going to the carrier, I'm guessing they have a land based system with FLOLS to practice your patterns, hight and speed targets etc? Just thought it would make a great addition.

Cepheus76 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 +1 Great idea, I would love to see something like this, say on the Nevada map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In training before going to the carrier, I'm guessing they have a land based system with FLOLS to practice your patterns, hight and speed targets etc? Just thought it would make a great addition. I used to think this was a good idea until the second or third time I landed in the hanger bay. What's the point of land practice when there's no penalty for failing ship practice? They use FCLP to make sure students are ready for the real thing without killing themselves or pranging an expensive aircraft or more expensive boat. They use small, light, cheap trainer aircraft to do it. We can practice until the end of time with the 'real' aircraft on the boat. If FCLP was available I'd just run missions on the boat anyway, because there's no reason to simulate the simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oesau Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 There’s a mod for this, think it’s called naval ground crew that includes a land based FLOLS that works. But yes, agree, be good to have it from ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinK Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 +1 "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great. Landing on the ship at night is like a trip to the dentist, you may get away with no pain, but you just don't feel comfortable" — LCDR Thomas Quinn, USN.

dlpayer Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Virtually all my F4J landings at NAS Oceana were done using the ball. Before deployment on the carrier, a lot of practice was done at the auxilary airfield. It would be "realistic" to have the ability to practice at the field.

But I agree with you, I don't see the point at all. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Clark Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Are any of the fields in the NTTR in real life set up for this? Or is it more limited to a few naval air stations? I mostly agree with above - I don't see much point in unrealistically adding features to land bases when we can practice on the "real" boat without consequence. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
