Jar_VFA-113

As a reward to the loyal fans of PLAT videos we have uploaded a public version of the flyable F/A-18C Hornet mod created by ISVA (Thanks Morkva, Slebdeff). With the mod you get also all my best US Navy mods from the past decade: - The USS George H W Bush CVN77 (I did the paint) with PLAT cam and VR alternate LSO views. Includes the Anubis Meatball and LRLS and CDP Kobras amazing 3D work. - My RAAF paint and Aussie female refueller voice mod. (Affects UKR IL-78M) - My integrated manual into both the Huey and Hornet which has detailed MGRS maps for parts of Nevada, PLAT cam crosshairs for standard monitors, Oculus Rift and 4K monitors, Various Hornet NATOPs pages. - My highly detailed VFA-113 Stingers and (NEW) VFA-83 Rampagers paint schemes. The in game manual with the overlays is a real break through as it allows you to have the same PLAT cam crosshairs you see in our videos IN GAME. Just jump in a Hornet, hit ESCAPE and select the manual. As mentioned earlier VFA-83 is our new squadron that will be under Stingers operating procedures in our airwing (CVW-17, tail code NA). This is why VFA-83 are 400 series modex (not 300) and NA (not AG) tails. Interested pilots can now download the mod and log into teamspeak and express their interest in joining. Shhhhhhhhhh.....Only for readers of this thread, don't tell anyone ;) EDIT : You can use JGSME, please no whinging, if you don't like it uninstall it and delete it. This mod represents years of work and you're getting it free.

We have launched a new squadron, VFA-83 RAMPAGERS as the Stingers have no aircraft left to give out. Their aircraft are currently being painted and the Hornet mod they fly will be available to the public soon. The Commanding Officer is a great pilot called Strike. You can see their very first traps aboard the USS George H W Bush in our latest PLAT film: zFt5Tf5HBi4

Our finest PLAT video yet... fFWEOFRd4mw

We don't really open recruiting as such, super keen people tend to start hanging out in our teamspeak and if they fit in great with the group and are as interested in carrier ops as we are they get offered a jet. We limit aircraft number to the same as the real squadron and I find it keeps a good active squad. We love helping people start their own squadrons as well which is the main reason we share all our training and as much of our mods as we can.

Whoever is lead tends to pre-brief the launch rendezvous then inbound formation. What you see in the video is our basic SOP that has been in place for about a month. During the mission lead will simply utter directions like "Sting flight, cross turn" and everybody crosses their fingers and hopes to end up in the right spot! :)

Thought I'd share our latest training film which steps out our formation procedures: iWfX6s81c6w

Today we welcomed new pilot 'Trigger' who took the controls of STING 311. He flew his first 6 trap Carrier Qual before our mission landings were recorded. kafNJS7BYp8

This weeks landings: maJSnXfkxts

That is an awesome photo Goonie thanks for making it! :D This weeks landings. STING 303 has had a few weeks off and had developed a LINED UP LEFT trend, practice traps are included to highlight. You get to hear grumpy LSO Jar when he sees his calls not acknowledged. For those unfamiliar with the LSO shorthand please refer to the front page of our website (under the greenie board). biZ3IWbJL8o

In the CVN77 folder you need to open up the 'bush.lua' with notepad++. Scroll down a bit and you'll see some LSO view values in there. To enable a view remove the -- in front and add them to the one you are disabling. Not sure how up to date that versions views are, I re-did them for VR.

This video features Sting 304 'Curveball' logging his 6 CQ traps for the start of 2017. Also shown are the various alternative LSO views that come with our CVN-77 mod as viewed in Virtual Reality through an Oculus Rift. ncHxVnknnWs

Hey that's a great list. At the end of the day I'd be happy with a meatball as good as the one we have by Anubis on the CVN77. It's really changed everything for us. The PLAT cam is inop this weekend but as we recorded a CQ and a normal recoveryl ast week here is the squad plat tape: J9WxU793QIs[/YouTube]

This week Madmax flies his 6 Carrier Qualification traps while the rest of us ramble about what we would like to see in future ED carrier releases. You also get to see our top secret Oculus Rift PLAT cam crosshair mod in action. i9xLsKKEOPE

The PLAT cam overlay pack is on our website vLSO training page, the CVN77 with working meatball which matches the LSO view glideslope (LALT+F9) is hidden at the bottom of the CV NATOPS training page. You will have to find something to fly though, our Hornet mod isn't publicly available.

H ha poor Hook. He's a really great guy and in the middle of doing something momentous so hasn't been around much for over a year. He's a great sport letting us upload his rusty traps. I was the same after a few months away from the boat.
