VampireNZ Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 With the release of the F-14 (and the hornet), will there be any functionality added to the DCS logbook to keep track of your carrier landings separately from the normal 'landings' figure? Vampire

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"

1stBEAST Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 "wave-off"?! quite optimistic. i think most will "just go for it" and crash and burn :-D
asla36 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 A recipe for guaranteed success: come in too high, "just go for it", slam nose down, and land with no damage at all. (some statements included in this post may not be containing 100% truth...) DCS: MiG-23 [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Make it happen, and take my money! :D
probad Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 isnt this more an base client feature that would be addressed by ed instead?
RaceFuel85 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Basically you want a greenie board. This would need to be something, like probad said, to be addressed by ED itself.

lunaticfringe Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 After Aeorsoft's Kitty Hawk essentially dying on me, I'll just be happy with an FLOLS based on the correct glideslope that lights up.

lunaticfringe Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 It's simply dead. Hasn't worked for me in over a month. Whether original disc plus Acceleration, or Steam version, FSX simply no longer shows a meatball on CV 63. I'd put it on Prepar 3D V4, but they haven't mentioned their process in porting it over in a month. *shrug*.

RaceFuel85 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Honestly..watching the videos of the Su-33 PFM that's going to be formally added soon.. It makes the carrier ops mod we have now as well as BMS's carrier ops look like they were done in claymation

It makes the carrier ops mod we have now as well as BMS's carrier ops look like they were done in claymation Yeah, I am guessing that trapping aboard a CV/CVN with the Tomcat's EFM (or any EFM/PFM) is going to be quite a bit tougher than the AS F-14. On a related note, I'd love a logbook...as long as I can reset it after my first 200-300 landings. :music_whistling: I don't think that I want those first ones preserved for posterity. :D -Nick
captain_dalan Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I don't know man, carrier landing aren't that hard! We've been doing them in F-4F, F-6 and F-4U's in quite some time now! Sure you are quite likely to hit the stern but.........

Sure you are quite likely to hit the stern but......... When you see the guys in the E-2 Hawkeyes (with what, something like only 10ft of wiggle room on the wingtips!) battling away to get it down - surely they would jump in an F/A-18 and freak out how much easier it was lol. Granted the E-2 is a little slower perhaps. Much respect for the guys in the twin-engine aircraft dropping it on the deck :notworthy: Vampire
