Zero Visibility Take off and Landing

[whaaw]

did a short flight with the viggen in very low visibility:

i did a lot of mistakes but got her on the ground safely

Nice flight & you''re obviously a lot more proficient with the Viggen systems than me.

 

Can you tell me what was going on when the Att and Alt hold modes were blinking alternately, don't think I've seen that before so I was intrigued as what caused it

[theOden]

.. what caused it

Transonic speed.

Thanks for posting. Don't usually fly jets, but really enjoyed watching someone who knows what they're doing in one.

thanks, my turn at LB1 was just 2 sec. i got confused because i wanted to demonstrate how the HUD is guiding you through the circle.

Little bit hairy there on landing! I had a mission in Cristofer's dynamic campaign which had similar visibility, but unfortunately, I got shot down before I was able to give the landing a try.

I knew im coming in in a 3 ° angle offset from rwy, but that 3 seems alot more when actually in the air^^

 

i think i said it already, but TILS wasnt made for this kind of bad weather. Landing Phase 3 is always a visual landing and you should see the RWY 0.5 Miles out. buts its totally doable :)

after a few rounds i was able to make much better landings in this conditions^^
