percivaldanvers Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 By "use" I mean you've taken off with enough fuel/stores to accomplish and successfully landed after having done so.

okopanja Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Off topic but the question begs for contest of: What is the oddest place to land in DCS? Seriously is there a list of shortest landing strips? 3

The ramp is base game.

Nuggetz Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 The two shortest runways I have successfully used are: PG Map: Sir Abu Nuayr SA Map: Pampa Guanaco Fuel/weapons limited for takeoff I think if you can do these two you are ok for any landable runway in DCS If there is a more tricky one I would be very interested to give it a go 1 Ryzen 9800X3D, MSI RTX 4090, 4 TB SSD, 64GB 5200 MHZ DDR5 RAM, MSI 670E Motherboard, Pimax Crystal.

Idk about Sir Abu Nuayr, but I know Pampa Guanaco is ~2600 ft, which is very little for an F-16. 4 hours ago, Hobel said: Carrier What sorcery is this!?

Takeoffs so far have been limited to full internal fuel, full centreline tank and a couple of wingtip AIM-120Cs. I have not explored the maxim takeoff stores so far but I guess a couple of added 9Xs would still be possible.

Aquorys Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 The southern one of the two airports in Kutaisi city, just north of Kvitiri, also known as Kutaisi west airport. The runway is about 4600 ft. Landed there a couple times with 4 AIM-120s, 2 AIM-9Xs, and fuel probably around 3k. If you are looking for some interesting approaches, try Gelendzhik from north-east (Caucasus), Khasab runway from south, either directly over the mountains or the approach through the mountain valleys south and east of Khasab (Persian Gulf), or the ILS or VOR/LOC X 21L approach into Nellis (Nevada). 1 F-16 / Su-33 / Ka-50 F-16 Checklists (Kneeboard compatible) F-16 BVR training missions
Nuggetz Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Just tried a couple of landing/takeoffs at both airfields, just for the fun of it: PG Map: Sir Abu Nuayr 2229 feet long SA Map: Pampa Guanaco 2349 feet long. Landed at both with less than 1000lbs of fuel. A quick OTR and took off with full internal fuel, full centreline, full ammo, 4 x AIM-120C and 2 x 9X. No problems. Not sure how much scope there is for additional weight. 1 Ryzen 9800X3D, MSI RTX 4090, 4 TB SSD, 64GB 5200 MHZ DDR5 RAM, MSI 670E Motherboard, Pimax Crystal.

Another good one I've found is Wujah Al Hajar. It's ~4500ft but it's built at an incline and overlooks a cliff so if you overshoot it's game over. Haven't managed to actually land there myself.

No luck so far, even approach from the south direction. FYI only, there are a number of nameless air stripes on Caucasus map which are short, I am not counting that infamous "the most bombed airfield in DCS World", scattered around. I usually left them for other aircraft to try like the Viggen. Edited January 15, 2023 by VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants 1 I Fly, Therefore I Am.

Since I discovered they added the option for ground starts in the editor I've started making improvised road bases in various parts of the maps where the roads are wide/straight enough. It's a shame we don't have arresting wires or an F-16 with a drag-chute though. Either of those would really increase the possibilities. 2

bfr Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) I haven't yet tried in an F-16 but i've landed a Hornet and a Viggen on the longest straight of the Yas Marina F1 track in the PG map. One to have a crack at tonight I guess, although I haven't got high hopes as I could barely stop the Hornet in time (Viggen much easier with the reverser). Like seemingly everyone else i've done the carrier landing in the F-16 since the hook was added. Managed to get off of it again too with a full deck run-up (was on about 20% fuel and only carrying a couple of winders) Edited February 4, 2023 by bfr
DukeAngus Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 taking off is the easy part, lately i have been seeing how short of a space i can take off with, usually with a full a2a load and full fuel, the real fun comes at the landing! try the pagan airstrip in the marianas map, do go to far right or to far left.
