=Mac= Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I came in alone from starboard holding, at the initial I got pins and needles, then made the ball call. Here is my scores: BC LOL NSU LUR H TMRD UNERD AR SLO LO WO LOLA AFU LA 3PTS _OK_ So. For those of you that don't fly with hooks, I will translate for you: At the ball call, laugh out loud, not set up, lined up right, high, too much rate of descent, you nerd! At the ramp, slow, low, wave off!!! laugh out loud again, all f***ed up, landed anyway, landed 3 points, perfect pass. Am I good or what?

Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Couple of times I had to downgrade myself. The paddles insisted on _OK_ !

ruddy122 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 That’s good Next challenge is catch a 3 wire with as little messages as possibleMy best is Grade B two wireAny landing you can walk away from is a good landingSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LUCKY:pilotfly::joystick: Computer Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz| GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6Gb | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz | OS: Win 10 64 bit | HD: 500 Gb SSD

I've walked away from case I traps after 'vertical' breaks and this cliché didn't work with my virtual CAG... grounded for a month
unlikely_spider Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I swear they remove the 3 wire when they clear me to land. I'm not sure if the grade history is saved anywhere, but it would be full of 1, 2, and 4 wires. Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1
=Mac= Posted March 20, 2021 Author Posted March 20, 2021 Catch the three wire with as little messages as possible. Ha! You don't know ME very well! Approach on the FB at 2,000 ft. At the ramp, dive straight for the LSO platform. You can catch the 3 wire (and the 2 wire, and well, all the wires) as they flail about the burning wreckage. LSO will give no messages to you. Ever. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...
Stearmandriver Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Highly recommend Bankler's Case 1 Recovery Trainer mission for carrier work... much more accurate and meaningful grading than the SC LSO. This was a nice clean pass... the SC LSO often thinks you're LUL at the start when you turn in tight enough for a proper groove time... but will still give out an OK underlined grade . But then on the Bankler's grading, you can see every parameter.
