Maddog-1969

Excellent news!!! In the virtual aviation museum that DCS is becoming the UK aviation industry heritage is massively underrepresented. It produced so many groundbreaking designs and iconic aircraft. Especially with the release of the CW Germany map, many of the cold war era jets would fit perfectly. Looking forward to the release.

Hi Saxman, I am sure you're right. However, just sharing what works for me after watching several Royal Navy carrier Ops video's and practicing the FAA curved approach

Without having seen the footage and having heard of a 'bug' with catching the wire if the carrier is moving in a certain direction on the map, I would suggest not to flare. A carrier aircraft you do not flare, but but fly into the deck. Setup the correct AoA in advance (speed and trim) should ensure that your aircraft (and hook) hit the deck at the right angle to catch the wires. If there is the need to adjust the rate of descend, adjust power and not pitch. Keep on practicing, I took me a while as well. I find this bird more challenging to land on a carrier than your average jet. However, good fun and very rewarding once you figure it out.

Thanks for asking and keep up the great work. This map has all the potential to become the most popular DCS map for numerous and various reasons. 1) Some more authentic buildings on Airports. The Bitburg QRA is now a standard hangar, etc. 2) Some more diversity in churches, water-towers and repetitive landmarks. Love to do low level navigation, but most of the smaller towns and villages look the same. 3) Add some temporary road-bases as they used to have during exercises on the 'Autobahn'

I noticed various issues with various modules over the years and this topic doesn't seem to have a top priority with most Dev's. Hence, I use OpenKneeboard and the software lets you manipulate the Kneeboard so you can place in anywhere (inside/outside cockpit, on your knee) and resize, angle, etc. Two other benefits are, it works with pdf format and and if you buy a simple 'pen tablet (fi Wacom One, 35Euro Amazon), and then you can even hand write on it. Very handy, especially in VR, and less immersion breaking.

Another video maybe of interest. No audio, but some interesting footage for those interested in Corsair carrier operations. I hope one day we also get a deck crew and evermore so pitching deck simulation.

@Devil 505, the screenshot is taken from the video. The video is apparently former training material, rather then testimonials (ref. your excellent find). (1) I have the feeling your (none) trap issues might have something to do with the ME and/or (failing) scripts or the 'know issue' reported by M3 in their release notes Hook clipping through ground and carrier (2) The stutters you showed I don't have, but do see drastic FPS fluctuations around the carrier. Luckily I only noticed them on the FPS graphs (pop up window) and not so much during the actual flying. Stuttering is not uncommon with first releases (modules, maps) and are normally fixed by ED/Dev's in upcoming patches.

@Devil 505 Thanks for the great video link (and your YT video's). Found this video on the same channel describing the UK Fleet Air Arm CASE 1 pattern equivalent FYI, I flew the Marianas quick start 'carrier take off' mission this morning and my plane trapped every single time. Furthermore, the comm's (changed Carrier to a/c freq. first) and LSO rating system seems to be working too. Are you using the mission(s) that comes with the module or designed one yourself in the ME?

Hi, thanks for the links. Checked them out and early stages, but hopeful one day it will come.

Happy to hear that. Is there a link or can you provide a reference to follow the development?

Okay, no worries and many thanks for the professional support. Still hoping one day to get an official Hunter, Buccaneer, Jaguar, Sea Harrier, etc. module, as the former glorious UK aviation industry deserves not only a place in the history books, but also in DCS.

Thanks, but works for me. These are mk.6 (single seat). Do you have some more as well for the Tmk68 (dual seat)?

Hi Rudel, just let you know they still work. Initially didn’t see the new liveries in the menu. However, classical issue of not selecting the correct country in the ME menu. All fine and would love to have more, but guess not an option for a legacy mod.

These are excellent. Just downloading them and will test if they work later today. Many thanks for the quick reply and link.

Dropbox link no longer working. Highly interested in liveries of both variants. Can somebody re-upload please?
