Ah TID ok looked all the time on the camera. Thanks :)

Some points that helped me: 1. Trim the Hud before start. On right Side of the green display is a roll-knop where you could adjust the HUD position. It has a 2-5 degree Offset to the grenn display. Adjusting it before the start help much later on final approach. 2. The Tomcat just want to fly and have a very high lift, even on low speeds. I put my nose onto 5-8 degree on HUD and reduce airspeed to 150kn or lower. That mostly centers the FPM on the horizon and from there i made little changes to put in on the runway. 3. When i have the FPM near the point where i want to touchdown i activate the DLC and use only the slats for the final adjustmens while holding Speed and Pitch.

When i shoot a phoenix missile is there some indicator when the missile goes pitbull or when the estimatet time of arrivel on the target is?

Run into this videos the last days and i was very very impressed. Would be really awesome in VR Any news about that?

Thanks for that image. :)

Thanks for that! Exactly what um looking for!

Thank you, that is really helpful. :D

Ok so rudder dont turn the maschine faster it just help roll it. When im low speed with wings extended i use the roll-axis like flying a hornet. When i fly fast and wings are more fold in, i use rudder to roll insteat of the roll axis. But both is just to roll the plane. When im on the right angle ( let say 30) i stop using rudder (or roll axis) and only work with pitch? That would make sense to my. And cause i tried rudder + roll together all the time the plane got instable every time. I just fight myself all the time. When i (hopefully) understand correct, your answer was really helpfull. :D

So i know thats bad when the aircraft shaken and i know the borders where to go with stick only. I can air to air refuel the tomcat, i can land the tomcat on the carrier i can do a lot with it but i dont get used to the rudder. Comming from the F18 i can fly the Cat Stick only and with a looot trimm (i love it :D) but trying the rudder just add an instability element i dont get under control. So ok lets try a different approach. How muche you move the rudder? For example the gazelle, you have a 100% Axis on pitch and roll but using more than maybe 10% is suicide. So how much preassure you put on the rudder? Are you going the whole 100% or just a fingertip? And do you constant preassure or more like the dlc, bump it, let it go, repeat?

Sorry it was late for me yesterday. :/ I read that linked pdf but sadly it just dont helped. As i said i need some more practice approach. See it one time going right, see how he do it and approach from thet. Or just get some values to handle with. Trial and error clearly dont help here.

Im sorry if i sound mad, but im highligh frustratet with this. I spend a lot looking on videos like that: I see the tomcat is able to do is. But without axis visible and since he never look on the controls and just cant see how it should work. And sorry but i just dont understand you with all that tags. I dont now what a buffet is, i dont think you mean the buffet in the hotel on vacation. So just give me an example. I want to do a sharp turn to the left. I have 4 axis, pitch, roll, throttle and rudder which i could add from 0-100%. How should i place the axis to get a sharp turn without stalling? And sorry am not person which could adapt a lot just from reading text, i am more visual, i need to see it!

Maybe its a noob question but i just dont get it. Thats the Situation: Im on the 6 of an enemy F5. The F5 now make a sharp turn to the left. I want to follow him and shoot him down. So how should i do it? That was my test results: 1. Go on 90° and pitch without rudder (like in F18), i bleed a lot airspeed and strt to stall. But my turn is not sharp enough to follow the F5. 2. Do 45° roll and go full left rudder: Airplane start to roll on it own, try tu turn into a 90°and into the ground. Bleed a lot airspeed and end in a stall which i cant recover from (Me trying to recover from stall: Airplane rotate to the left, i go right engine on idle and left engine to full power, trying to counter trust. Put rudder in both directions max, northing worked) 3. Do a 45° roll and go 50° left rudder. Plane turns stable but feel similar to 1. Turn not sharp enough and bleed a lot airspeed. 4:Do a 45 roll and putt weight on right rudder: just chaos. So at the end, every way i tried endet with a cresh cause of stall or loosing the target. So 2 questions for me. 1. Is the Tomcat a dogfight capble plane which could make sharp turns and outmaneuver the enemy like for example the hornet? Or is it more a long range delivery weapon for bombs and phonix missle but not usable in dogfights like (höhö) Top Gun? 2. How shouldi use the rudder in the right way? And please dont post the usual 30 minute videos or give me a timestamp where to look. i need ananswer to that specific questions, how to use rudder the air on the F14 Tomcat?

What do you mean with Jester Cam?

I drop everything left (except tanks and lantirn) when apperoaching the carrier and drop fuel until im <10.000

+1

Ok really? Dying in a burning plane heading to the ground feels unnatural. :D is there a reason for this?

Maybe stupid question.... The A10 bas a loud tutututututwhen ther is a master alert. The F18 has that liddel "diddeldut" when Master goes on. But what about F14? When i start the Maschine or get some damage, the Master Alert start to flash but i hear nothing. Is that the way how the F14 works or us there a volume knop to turn it on?

There it is: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3304383/ Edit: AAAND i got an error that is not a valid mod archive :( Edit: tstrfm (to stupid to read ****ing manual) I like what you have done. :). Reading the damageboard is much easier now. Thanks for that and keep on on it. :) If i could take a wish, i think the most important thing for VR useability is on the RIO place the weapon selection wheel. That think is mostly ****ing unreadable. It would be cool if you could priorize this one :)

So wait, we need to trim the hud? What? Could you pleace give an answer? I never run into issues that the hud seems wrong. :O

Hahaha :D

Wow, really good work :D

My friend and me we fly together the Tomcat, both woth VR Headsets. While the Tomcat is a really great experience we have problems with locate the enemys. In the last days i made the Sidewinder Trainings Mission. I never saw an enemy plane but i succeed. I follow the jester calls to put the nose on the target and find him with the pilot radar controls. Tganks to Jes-Eagle-Eye-ter But now i sense my RIO and me got a problem cause be both cant see other planes now. Could we have the ability to activate the jester calls. Even if a human RIO is behind me? Or are they other workarounds for VR i dont know? :helpsmilie:

Looks nice, maybe add that grandious musik to it and? And i miss the bad weather conditions from the time storm. :music_whistling:

Thank you very much! We really need a Jester Tutorial.

Ah tanks. :) And HOW did you do that? :D:joystick:
