brettt777 Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 So, I've always heard about how hard the Tomcat is to land, especially on a carrier. Even back in the day when I was on carriers with Tomcats. Well, I finally decided to try it today. Now, it was during the day with clear skies and completely calm seas. But I did have the flight model on simulation and I nailed the three wire the first time, without using the ILS. I gotta say I was pretty impressed with myself LOL AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4.4ghz, 64gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz, GeForce RTX-3060ti 8GB DDR6, Three KTC 32" QHD monitors @ 165hz, Rosewill 80plus Bronze 1000w, Corsair Hydro H100i, 2tb M.2 SSD for OS, Two 3tb HDD, 2tb SSD for DCS, P3D, Star Citizen, Sound Blaster Zx, Thermaltake Overseer RX-I, Winwing Orion 2 HOTAS F-15EX throttle and F-16EX stick, Winwing 3 MFD MIP with FA-18 UFC and F-16 ICP, TrackIR 5, Surround Speakers & Subwoofer, Oculus Quest 2 VR. :joystick::pilotfly:

Now keep in mind it's still WIP and devs plan to make it harder (read, more realistic) https://trello.com/c/dmUGUeB0 Edited June 2, 2021 by draconus 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Sacarino111 Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 Hi. Indeed, when I first tried the F-14 on carrier landings I found it waaaayyy easier than the F/A-18. To me the Hornet is a nightmare to land, specially to keep it "on speed", and the trim is making me bounce all over the place with the smallest power adjustment. Saludos Saca111

I gotta say I was pretty impressed with myself LOL Make sure your have a wind over deck (headwind + carrier speed) of about 25 knots, that will help you. I find it very difficult to get the geometry right on public servers that don't set the carrier up correctly. A little crosswind is fine, but I feel like 10 knots crosswind is excessive... http://www.csg-2.net/ | i7 7700k - NVIDIA 1080 - 32GB RAM | BKR!

Saludos Saca111 Guess you havn't watched a proper tutorial about how to land the hornet. Keeping it on speed is easier than in any other plane because the computer does it for you. Just make sure to never push or pull the stick once you trimmed the desired AoA. For further explanation:
