SONofHORUS Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 hi every one noobie hear :) i have a problem with landing i just cant seem to do it i can just about get my f15 back on the ground but my cute will not deploy and i end up shooting off the runway can plaese some one help me oh and is there a f16 from DCS?? cos i just love that jet :)
cichlidfan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 The F-15 does not have a drag chute. How fast are you landing? From the manual. Landing On final approach, set on-speed for 20-22 units AOA. At the flare point, smoothly retard the throttles to IDLE and reduce rate of descent so as to finish the flare at 0.75 - 1.0 meter above ground. At 0.75 - 1.0 meter above ground, take an attitude for a cushioned landing on the two main wheels. Raising nose too high up to 22 units AOA in the flare may cause a hard landing and engine ground contact. After touchdown, maintain directional control by pedals. Raise the nose to approximately 13º pitch attitude to achieve aerodynamic braking. Aerobraking is highly effective at airspeeds above 90 knots. Flaps should remain down as they also provide increased aerodynamic drag. When airspeed is reduced below 90 knots, smoothly touch down with the nose wheel and if necessary use normal braking.

Sel94 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I'm pretty sure the F-15 doesn't have a drag chute, and nope no DCS F-16.
SONofHORUS Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 i dont know i dont know how to read the instruments i am a il2 player and have just started playing DCS
cichlidfan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 i dont know i dont know how to read the instruments i am a il2 player and have just started playing DCS I would start with the manual then.

SONofHORUS Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 do you know if one mite be in the works??
cichlidfan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 There is one. Did you buy the F-15 or Flaming Cliffs 3? Either way, if you use do a search inside the game folder for PDF files, you will find all of the manuals.

SONofHORUS Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 I found the manual and am just reading it now is there anyone who is willing to get on team speak some time??
SONofHORUS Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 i just cant believe how hard this is compared to il2 cliffs of dover and BOS
Dauntless Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Faster and heavier machines means more momentum.
Spetz Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 You're just in the F-15, try switching over to the P-51 or A-10C if you want a steep learning curve.. Good luck!
Skall Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Also, check out the videos here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=123658 They helped me clean up my landings a bit. Every time he looks down, pause the video and pay attention to the instruments (VVI, altitude, speed, AOA) and see what they are and how they change as you approach the runway.
NeilWillis Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Where in the world are you located? If you'd like some help getting to grips with DCS aircraft, I'd recommend online play. A lot use teamspeak, and will give you all the help you need to get up and running.
esb77 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Not sure how well il-2 models the aerodynamics, but if you're switching from a reasonably accurate WW-II sim to the DCS jets, be aware that an accurately modelled prop acts as a gigantic airbrake when you throttle down on approach. Turbofan engines do not provide the same braking effect, and the difference can take some getting used to. Callsign "Auger". It could mean to predict the future or a tool for boring large holes. I combine the two by predictably boring large holes in the ground with my plane.
