To be blunt friend :)...You need to search both videos and posts If still in limbo ..come back and ask regarding to the specific thing you need help with. You questions right now leave most people with more questions to your questions :) Also if you might wanna search for a group that will teach this while you are in the game :) (that is how I learned back in the day) I took the plunge online and got lucky. Many of them are close personel friends here 18 years later :) But welcome to the flight world and don't give up, will you be the best ? that dosen't matter, no flyer does this alone :) Only one question how new are you brother...? Dcs can seen quite battle orientated and have many skilled battle operators ....good aviators hmm not yet ..but they are not bad :) Sorry to answer your question with a question but I feel your question merits it :)

wrong on all :) What AOA you want is done by trim . Keep the set AOA can be controlled with throttle only.

First off didn't look unsafe, so we keep u on the boat :) Serious note rewatch your tracks and use tacview...you might catch your weak points.

Make sure it is enabled on the stennis in the mission editor and select the right unit in the icls menu. By default when selected in the ME, it is set to none.

I got it as, on sa page only.

Was epic but did not record it , only have the tacview and that does not give this flight credit . If I can convince the f-14 pilot to do it again , then I'll film it. Cat launch and i form up right side , we extend and turn in for a case 1, Iswitch side and try to follow the F-14 on the inside all the way to landing. I know the F-18 is more forgiving but seeing the F-14 that close during this flight was just awesome for me :)

Is it difficult. Moving the jet and keep you head still in an odd position. Also sharing tir5 profiles might give a general clue but people have very different setup's , so adjust your own and it will take some time :)

and to unload the jet..pull yellow handle between legs ;)

Thanks man :)

Early access is a beta program and the payment from us is an investment into the program. We are paying beta testers.

A step before all this is just to fly formation and ease your shoulders (not kiddin). If you hold your joystick in a death grip, then you will have a hard time :) If jet seems super twitchy, have a look at your control curvature. For me with a warthog stick, the default value was way off.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Also check your keybindings. I flew a couple of days ago along side the f14. Had no weird roll issues.

Just go easy on the throttle tiger ;)

Hollywood is calling for your video team for top gun 2 :)

It still surprises me, that if you loose a engine in flight, you are in all kinds of trouble. I Always thought the hole point of 2 engines, was to fly "normal" on one engine. It even have an apu that can not drive electric power. Is it the same way with the super hornet ?

To use the youtube link button you just need to insert "NWFr_LIhc7Y" not the hole string :)

@lc34 ...good to see you are moving along the road of on speed. I had the same problems and the on speed stuff made me able to land the F-5 :) The carrier stuff is all this, just at a faster pace. But know you know what to practice and that is key :)

He was over 220 knots with nose up on the first landing :)

At 9:49 You look stable and at that point you could have trimmed for correct aoa. Then you turn left, you apply pitch input and get way low on speed. you correct speed and find yourself going up now, I'll bet you are cursing the hole way ;) This hole trim for speed had me baffled for a long time, It is like eating with chop sticks if you don't know the technique :). A couple of pointers: 1. You have to do a lot of things at the same time and be very upfront with inputs. I see you loose speed and realize and then taking action. At this point you are just behind the jet and the best way is to clean up and do it all over. 2. On speed: It's a bit unnatural if you ask me and you do the classic thing when low on speed ...pull the nose up and then throttle up. Reverse that and just don't get so low on speed. If she beeps at ya, then you are about 4-5 seconds too late in your inputs. Also, when on speed, no pitch movement is required or very very little (diamond almost don't leave the center on the lower left control input screen). When i bank to 30 degrees ,the throttle controls the pitch and I have to stop the roll with a tiny bit of counter roll. So tiny right stick and throttle stick to control pitch. Lex made a very good video on this. So to sum up, you really have to be "on it" and it takes practice. In time you will also develop the skill to hear where you are and crosscheck your parameters. Once u get the hang of it, your workload decrease by 70%, because now you feel comfortable with what you are doing :)

You are all wrong ...it is the coffee table, when doing top wing work :)

Youtube have a ton of video's on the f18 :) Get popcorn and a scratch pad :)

EDIT. I see u got it working ...disregard :) not a bug . U are not doing it correctly :)

real life u would kill the landing gear at 46000 pounds. So aim for 34000 and max 36000 and u are golden

check height of waypoint, I made that mistake. same goes for A-10, so my waypoint was a 6000 feet so no fall line :)
