Carrier Landings Problem

[vishkar]

I used to get fairly good carrier landings till I changed from Win 10 Pro to 11 pro. I am ok on approach till about 1.5 NMs or so. Then the trouble starts like a Yo-Yo. I am Ón The Ball. But then suddenly glidepath shows I am too high . SO I reduce throttle, and it goes down in  no time to show I am way below the glidepath. So now instead of about 85-90% success, it is the other way round. My joystick Settings are as given in the Manual. 

Any help is welcome. Thanks all.

React before you are in the wrong location. Don't let the aircraft fly you, fly the aircraft.

If you have made a correction, in this case power reduction because you are above glide, don't wait until you are on the glide. React before you are there. Stay active with the corrections.

Ain't the saying - stay ahead of the aircraft

Thanks for your reply. I suppose, below 135 kts the speed drops rapidly. Does it help to Ínvert'' the throttle setting for a quick response to increase speed? What effects do % and Curvature have on the throttle? Thanks

There comes a speed where drag increases again the slower you get. Unless you are very light, 135kts sounds rather on the slow side. 

No, inverting the throttle setting is rather counter productiv I'd say. Plus, engines have a fixed response time anyway. You won't make them react faster by changing the axis curve.

Don't put curves on the throttle! And why would you want to invert it?
Cheers!

Thank you all for your prompt response. Will try as suggested. I am still using my old Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold joystick ( since I got duped by Amazon into buying a fake HOTAS TM 4.) Can anyone suggest a HOTAS, say, around $ 200-250? At 79 yrs, I don't think I have a long fighter career in DCS.

I never tried it myself but the Logitech G X56 is mentioned quite often as a good solution if you are on a tight budget

hi vishkar, i would recommend looking for a used thrustmaster warthog system on ebay. the dual throttle and stick are good, not the best, but reasonably good for a start and very versatile. i.e. they will present a good, sometimes perfect match, with respect to many aircraft in dcs. the throttle detents can be replaced with inexpensive 3d-printed inlets (also ebay or here on this forum). i would highly recommend a stick extension! the difference is night and day. 7.5cm seems a sweet spot to me.

as for flying, it's a matter of training mostly, and also knowledge/technique that you can pick up on youtube very conveniently. the most effective way to get proficient with a certain maneuver from my experience is to train that specific maneuver daily during 10-15min. that works usually better than say 5hours every sunday.

have fun

Thank you all. happy landings.
