[How to land F-4E on speed and butter it——my experience]

I am able to smoothly land the f4 pretty consistently. The following are the tricks I follow:

- I do not flare the F4, she just drops, I just allow the bird to descent at a rate Jester is comfortable with ;).

- On short final my nose is always around 10 degrees pitch up. I keep the throttle as necessary for a correct AOA.

- When I am over the runway, I watch how the runways get bigger and bigger by watching the window cockpit side: the more runway you see on the cockpit window sides, more close I am to the ground. This is my main cue for "feeling" the closure rate I am approaching to the runway. I try feeling a very slow closure... the slower I get, the happier Jester gets.

Obviously, for being able to use "external" cues, one needs to develop the skill for keeping the F4 withing parameters without "chasing the needles". Which takes time and practice.

Hi @Sabreliner. Did they work for you with my two files attached in my last post?

@skywalker22 May The force be with you, mate,

It works! Although the Theatre name has to be "MarianaIslands". Or at least, after many changes on the files,  it is finally working using that name. Maybe it has nothing to do... but It is working for me.

Just in case some pilot fancy landing on 06L in Andersen, can also use my attached files.

 

Once again, many thanks!

Cheers.

Hi dear community,

I have recently started tinkering around adding RSBN data into Marianas scenery for the loved Mig 21. 

I have added the "Marinas" scenery to the R_NAV_data.lua Maps_Table list. For testing purposes, I have copied one of the existent R_NAV_data_[scenarios].lua with the Andersen values for 06L for "RSBN_data_Marianas"

{

        airbase = 'Andersen',   -- 1

        lat = 13.58035,

        long = 144.91567,

        alt = 531,--

        rwy = 066,--

        length = 8500,

        code = '-- .- -. ' --/N/ MAN_

    },

 

And for ARK secto 1 I, channel 1

country = 'GUAM', --1 / absolute 1

        freq = 999,

        lat = 13.58035,

        long = 144.91567,

        location = 'Andersen', --

        code = '.-.. -.-- .- ' --/N/ LYA_

 

As you can Imaging, this doesn't work. I would like to know if anybody can provide some advise how can it make it work.

 

Cheers!
