=Mac= Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 CVN-70 @ 30 knots into 13 m/s (about 25 knots) headwinds. A/C speed, 150 knots. Tire marks on the starboard bow deck edge shows 1/2 inch clearance! (I planned it that close....) The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...
SgtPappy Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Holy cow. I am determined to learn how to do this. Do you have a Tacview file?

SgtPappy Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah I've seen the crash course one, but when the Sabre lands, it's forced into a ridiculous skid. The original poster's F-86 manages to actually physically slow down to a stop. And what it the heck is happening in the last video. 17 knots? Since when were Sabres VTOL planes? There's something fishy there. That shouldn't be possible. I guess it's the weird weather right?
Roadrunner Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 well, it's like my first attempt with the A-10C in beta back then: give the carrier 30 knots speed and have the wind blowing with 70+ knots from the bow and you can land almost anything on deck :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.
