VincentLaw Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The key to landing the Hog on a carrier is to use the entire runway! I set up a short flight from Batumi to a carrier just off the coast, in full simulation settings. This was only possible because of the clean configuration, 2% fuel, and 0% bullets, which is obvious when you see how quickly it jumped off the ground. I popped both of the main tires, but other than that, no damage taken. Its really amazing how different the handling characteristics are between empty and full. Here is the track if anyone is interestedCarrier Ops.trk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CADelta Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 What a fun little exercise VincentLaw :) I took the liberty to try it out for myself, with your track setup. The attached track is what I got out of it! I did notice however, the fact that the carrier is moving is having some impact on the aircraft once landed, in other words I had some hassle getting the Hog turned around or even moving once stopped and as you can see I blew all my tiers later on in another 180 turn attempt. I also believe that this friction between the two is in fact what makes it possible to land on the carrier in the first place. I mean I strongly doubt that this is even remotely possible in real life ;) But it was great fun, so thanks for the exercise. /Krycekkrycek_carrier_landing.trk = CAD = Krycek [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I try to save a life a day.

Kenan Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I mean I strongly doubt that this is even remotely possible in real life ;) If you're refering to A10 landing on a carrier, I wouldn't be so sure. I believe a skilled pilot could do it, providing the plane is equiped with an arrestor hook.

CADelta Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 providing the plane is equiped with an arrestor hook. Exactly my point! I believe it to be impossible without a hook, but with one, of course you can land it on a carrier and probably with your gear broken too. Although I do not believe you will ever see a Hog with a Hook for Carrier operations ;) I mean Aircraft Carrier + A-10, two things that do no match. /Krycek = CAD = Krycek [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I try to save a life a day.

macd1102 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 it would require more than just a arresting hook, you probably would need work done to the aircraft structure and as mentioned the landing gear, look at your land base planes and then look at your carrier based, alot more stress is placed on the aircraft when catching a wire [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel I7 8700k processor overclocked to 5.0, Asus ROG Z370-E , 32 GB G Skill Ripjaw DDR4 2400 ram, Nvidia Geforce 1080 TI , Virpil Constellation Alpha/ Virpil 50 CM2 Base/MFG Crosswinds rudders/TIR 5, Windows 10 64 bit

Eight Ball Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) lol, Found those videos the other day while I was trying to know if the warthog ever had an arrestor hook From this topic : Difficulty of modifying the A-10 Warthog for carrier ops? Woooh, that's impressive ! The A10C would do a nice VTOL, all you'd need is being able to rotate engines, and the GAU8 too, to give it some balance :P Edited February 25, 2011 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)

StrongHarm Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 You'd have to be very careful with your speed on an A-10 carrier landing.. the carrier might outrun it. The carrier really had a pig.. actually it was a whale.. the Douglas A-3 Whale. I'm old enough to have seen the decommissioning. They shook the carrier. It was a carrier based nuke bomber during the cold war. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
