Show Me Your Landings!

[Nealius]

Not my best. Wind from the right pushing me towards the runway axis in the base turn, requiring hella bank. I've seen JASDF fighters do this on windy days but I don't know if it's valid to USAF procedures. Probably started my turn late as well, and I always seem to reduce descent rate during the turn instead of maintaining the -5° that I want. And floated in the flare.

Payload at landing was 3A 1W x2 with TGP, HTS, and around 2300lbs fuel.

ILS landing with 15kts crosswind and no visibility.

I call this one LAWN DART.  From GS MP server after i got a minor bruise, and then fuel "disappeared":

I dare you to open a ticket about the F16 wheels sinking inside the carrier deck

[AndyJWest]

Yeah, not difficult, just stupid...

Just noticed this effect from nose gear lights and raindrops in the latest MT patch

Five formation landings on my dad's wing. Some banter in Norwegian but with subtitles ( for those who are interested).

did my 1st landing in it yesterday, came in way too fast and didnt get the nose wheel working till way too late, i ran off the side of the runway and it fell over!!! i cant remember the last time i crashed anything in dcs!!!!

Sorry to be late to the party, and sorry to say it too, but I see rather your head position being off to the right side, throughout the whole pattern. Almost aligned with the right edge of the HUD, no wonder you see the whole HUD symbology being off to the right, but it has not much to do with the wind I guess...

VR.

We brake at the beginning of the runway, it helps when multiple aircraft are doing the overhead, the first aircraft makes almost a circle (depends on weight and wind). It's a much faster landing pattern (also at 200-220 kts on downwind) so multiple pakages can land in shorter time.

I'm sorry, but I just replied to Neailus to his video, where he apparently mixed up the FPM offset due to crosswind with his own POV being off to the right all the way. Where is the relevance of your reply to that?...

"VR"

He's using VR and thats why the head is not centered because its recording from the right eye. There was no crosswind.

The other part was just my opinion about the landings in general.

Oh... I see, thanks

[Nealius]

Yes, VR recording from the right eye. 

I need to check the mission weather settings again, but there was a very slight crosswind (maybe even tailwind) component at surface level, but DCS has a weird wind gradient from surface to 1600' where the surface winds are automatically doubled, and that 0-1600' block is where I'm making the base turn.

I suspected real procedure is for lead to break over the numbers or thereabouts but my skills aren't there yet so I extend farther down the runway.

Tried landing on the new Sinai map, pretty happy with this landing. They are starting to come along great. 

[Phantom_Mark]

I thought I would up the ante a little.

Performance take off to FL35, low fuel, flameout, dead stick landing back into where I took off, POV footage in VR from the PICO 4

02:07 - the vid is still encoding 4k, so if it is potato vision when you see it, it hasn't finished encoding the pretty version yet

Still trying to get it right, but the smoothest one I've managed so far, although touched down way too early and probably a bit slow (couldn't keep the nose up for very long here)

 

[buceador]

The Viper needs a minimum of 8000 feet to land safely...

A bit harder

Pretty sure there's a bump on the approach end of the runway at Tonopah.  It might've helped if I flared the correct way too, but I'm sticking with the bump theory for now.

Overhead approach to runway 3L at Nellis, left break over the approach end.  For whatever reason, I decided to actually flare this time.
