ex81 Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Why don`t we have an airfield with arresting cables to try carrier landings without getting wet often. Ain`t it true, that Hornet pilots do about 300 landings on airfileds before ever landing on a boat ? What goes up, must come down !

Knock-Knock Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Yea would be nice, including the Optical Landing System. Something we could add to any given runway in the Mission Editor. https://www.quora.com/How-do-Navy-Pilots-practice-aircraft-carrier-landings-before-they-actually-land-on-an-aircraft-carrier - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals |
Los Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Or you could practice on the carrier since if you crash you could just hit restart.

I thought they set up wires on the airstrip as well, but nope. Just the boxed area. Yeah, this would be a nice option in the mission editor.
