Whiskey11 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 True story. The Hornet is like riding a tricycle now. Thanks HB Man, I think the DLC makes the F-14B silly easy to land on a carrier. Once you roll out on final, set On Speed AoA (should be close from the downwind portion anyway) and then use DLC to correct to final... only reason I got a one wire was because I turned my head and the headset cable/TrackIR cable slid the throttles back. Not even using Autothrottle which I'm sure makes it easier!

fmedges Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I think the tomcat is easier as well. The throttle movements are way smoother and predictable. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Allied Air Command Website | Allied Air Command Discord
javelina1 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 My very first landing with the Turkey, I caught the 4 wire. Not good, but then not bad either. I'm really enjoying this bird!

Eldur Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 The only thing that makes it any hard in the Hornet is the 404GEs that don't spool as fast as they should. Haven't done a trap yet since I first want to familiarize with the airframe (too bad we don't have a NAS Miramar map), but approaches are easier to hold steadily in the Tomcat even when not using DLC, just because of the way better throttle reaction. On the other hoof it's easier in the Hornet to do controlled flight (that turn in the pattern) once trimmed on-speed since the FCS literally wipes out all the quirks it would have without.
Fri13 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 The hornet is like a slow reacting youngster, when the F-14B will react nicely and stay in control at landings. Someways the F/A-18C is backwards from the F-14B, but still many ways better. At least what the F-14B has done is give even more respect to the Soviet designed aircrafts... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
Top Jockey Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I can land with both of them, with all due diferences of course. The thing I noticed was: the Hornet's tail hook does rebound up on the deck sometimes (and therefore it misses the cables)... with the Tomcat it never happened.
