majapahit Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Finally figured out where the 'ball' is (simply search google images) Actually, had lots of trouble landing quick mission 'Case I carrier landing' hitting the stern every time. Then I though 'why not not think about it and land like a 'kick it down' Beech Baron 58 emergency landing' that I used to do all the time testing FSX settings .. and Boom, on the deck 2nd cable. | VR goggles | Autopilot panel | Headtracker | TM HOTAS | G920 HOTAS | MS FFB 2 | Throttle Quadrants | 8600K | GTX 1080 | 64GB RAM| Win 10 x64 | Voicerecognition | 50" UHD TV monitor | 40" 1080p TV monitor | 2x 24" 1080p side monitors | 24" 1080p touchscreen | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Wow, that little time off from trap practicing really helped. I can definitely tell i'm getting the hang of it. Learned how to control my vertical speed and I'm seeing the ball regularly. It is very true, that when you get the numbers correct, you will see the ball at the appropriate distance and in time. Practice, practice, practice. That's all it takes. i9 9900k @5.1GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z390 E-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 970 Evo 1TB | LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | Reverb G1 | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscotsman Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I just found this mission series, and used the first on for my Tomcat, THANK YOU. I've been able to trap with both F-18 and the F-14, but not been well and can't concentrate on the tutorials at the moment, so borrowed your mission and finally got the blasted thing off the carrier,watching the salute etc is just fun. Thank you , ok so I was so busy watching the animations of wheels up and flaps I ended up in the drink, but I enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankler Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Hi GrowlingSidewinder! Love your Youtube channel. Nice traps there! (Edit: Realize this is an older video and thread though) If you want, please check out this mission that I made for practicing CASE 1 recoveries. I spent silly amounts of hours scripting and tweaking to get things right, and it has received excellent feedback even from real world Hornet drivers. In short, it will give you realtime feedback and a summary of your performance, making it a fun tool for practicing. Would be an honor if you want to try it out, bud'! :thumbup: LINK Edited April 7, 2019 by Bankler Bankler's CASE 1 Recovery Trainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
