Landing Tutorial: Low Altitude Break Approach
Sceptre replied to Sceptre's topic in DCS: P-51D Mustang
If anyone has other tutorial requests for any of the DCS Modules, post them here or on my video's comments section and I'll do my best to make them :) -
Damn if you didn't point it out I wouldn't of noticed it ;)

WZ-10 :P

What's the wind sound effect at 0:55? Mod or stock? Because it's awesome o_o
-
I have a Martin, acoustic and love to play..... anything from John butler, some Guns n' Roses and Ed Sheeran

Check my sig if you want help landing the P-51D

ASM = fully clickable cockpit and nowhere has it been said by eagle that this is being made for the F15C. They're doing the F/A-18C at DCS level as our American fast jet which is a much better choice than going air to air only.
-
They're not, you're right. We would just have to use the external views for now...
-
@CobaltDragon: this is interesting, but best not to expect any news of it until Su-27 PFM is released, possibly even EDGE.

I've found guns kills are way easier than Heat seekers against the AI. The flares work 99% of the time and the AI pilot never misses a chance to use them. However, the AI really isn't great at shaking you once you get on their tail with the GSH 30mm :joystick:

Regarding the title under your name, I've seen other boards where you can customize it and that works quite well. EDIT. Does anyone know how to change "Reputation Power" to n/a? I've seen a few with it and I've never understood the rep system myself....
-
Oh and I must point out PLAAF, I agree with your signature ;)
-
I completely agree, however, the goal of DCS World is to have all the playable modules in the same "operating system" so in multiplayer, you can have pretty much everything player controlled. DCS is slowly but surely achieving this goal :) With the upcoming release of EDGE, you should enjoy CA a LOT more, with the nice pretty visuals and the Nevada map, it's going to be great

Landing Tutorial: Low Altitude Break Approach
Sceptre replied to Sceptre's topic in DCS: P-51D Mustang
Great, glad it helped :) -
Worthy opponent of the MiG-21 :P
-
Thought this may be interesting for some. It's an effective way to land a fighter if you aren't confident with the stall speed, or if you're carrying bombs it's a much safer way to land. I recorded and uploaded this because I see a lot of people asking what's the best/easiest way to approach and not stall in the Mustang, and I hope this can be of use to those people.

I can see where you're coming from, I also am greatly anxious for the release but without the current Leatherneck team, the project would have died if they didn't start over and continue it without any income. Also, we do have a general time frame. Read the first post of this thread; they have told us all they probably can as the project is now in ED's hands, and I can guarantee you that the Leatherneck team wants to see the release even more than you or me. I agree that more pics/vids would be nice but I look at it this way: they don't owe us anything! It's us that thank them for keeping the project alive, and not rushing it! I can assure you, a buggy release is more disappointing than a delayed release.

Just feed us with eye candy..... and we'll shut up! :P

It's Friday again (soon). Anything new to sweeten the weekend?
Sceptre replied to blackbelter's topic in Chit-Chat
Hmm... Cobra said update within a week, and this was posted at least 5 days ago so expect some news on the MiG soon.... -
I would love to see New Zealand and Brazil :)

Roar of the Merlin - A Brand New Sound Experience
Sceptre replied to Charly_Owl's topic in DCS: P-51D Mustang
I will never go back to stock sounds, especially since having seen a few P-51Ds in real life and they sound EXACTLY like this mod, when you do a flyby. And I just don't get that feeling of shivers down my spine when I fire the brownings in the stock game, however I do with Diveplane's mod and it really brings out the true power of those guns! -
When doing a normal approach, keep in mind that the P-51 is one of the only prop planes in the world where you DO NOT use 100% prop pitch for landing. Infact, keep it around 2600 RPM because if you need to add power for a go around, and you are at 100% pitch, the sheer power of the engine will cause you to bank left and crash because the Mustang does not have enough rudder authority to keep level. You can also try a military low altitude break approach. Hard to explain but easy to pull off, and it works in every fixed wing fighter not just the Mustang. -You want to come along paralell and off to the right of the runway slightly, about 300MPH, 2600RPM and make sure you are low to the ground. -When your reach 1/3rd of the runway's length, bring the throttle to idle and leave the pitch lever where it is. -Bank left and make a U turn whilst climbing until your are flying the opposite direction you started and at about 150MPH. You want to get as much altitude as you can. (Do not touch the power!) -Drop the gear and flaps when the plane reaches 150 -Descend and turn left until you are flying above the runway in a landing configuration -You want to start touching down at around the same point that you started your left turn in step 2 -fly low and slow above the runway and gently stall the aircraft onto the surface -squeeze the brakes; slamming them on will cause you to flip If you want a vid on how to do this, I'll make one because it is an extremely effective way to land military grade planes especially the older ones, and you don't even need to know the stall speeds etc. *Note, it's better to not use any rudder trim for a landing in the Mustang, unless there is a crosswind or other factors that would require it (i.e, damaged plane)

For now you could edit the "F4 key view" camera position on the KC-135 to place it where the boom operator sits for some squadron cinematics etc
