jwflowersii Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I've been practicing a crosswind landing on this mission, but am having some trouble with it. Can somebody try this mission, it's setup to land on runway 30 at 3000 feet at 200 knots. If you could post a replay of your attempt, I would appreciate it.Crosswind Landing Practice.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mule Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) It wasn't pretty but i managed it first time. I don't have pedals so i have to use keyboard for rudder. Taking my hand off the throttle was a pain to adjust rudder etc. Shredded tyres and all over the place on the runway but no one got killed :) Here's the first attempt track Edited April 9, 2011 by Mule Fighter Pilot Podcast.

Mule Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Nailed it. Jettison stores, full flaps, full speed break and adjust throttle for altitude etc. Then with the nose pointing way off to the left at the last moment just before touchdown give it right rudder to centreline landing :) Fighter Pilot Podcast.

nomdeplume Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 First attempt I landed it okay but blew all the tyres. Second and third I broke various parts of the gear, but still came down intact. This is my fourth go where I tried a different technique, and got down without any busted tyres. Didn't even have to jetison anything. ;) I came down hard on the left gear though, very surprised it didn't blow. Track played back okay on my PC, hopefully it'll be okay for you guys...

Scratchy Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I tried your mission. I got it on the ground, but consistently blew at least 1 tire and usually all tires :p Pretty extreme conditions: trailing crosswind with a pretty good sheer at about 300 ft. If I recall, the winds are 145 @ 27 and the runway is 06? :joystick: I wouldn't feel bad about not being able to nail this one consistently. I don't know what the crosswind/tailwind limits are for an a-10, but I suspect this exceeds them. I have noticed in several missions, you are tasked with landing in this type of conditions. Maybe the mission builders will be more reasonable in the future. :D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Intel i7-8700K @4.9Ghz | 32Gb memory DDR4 | Evga GTX 1080ti | Saitek Eclipse keyboard | Logitech Mx518 | CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle/Pedales | TIr5 | Win10 x64 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanner Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Landed with stores minus 2 mavs that I felt needed to be shot at some planes. I thought there was 4 though :( I use the fully standard 10deg GS with SAS off so the wind and rudder doesn't confuse it or whatever... Just before touchdown kill the flaps to cut lift and avoid any weird turbulence induced unlandings. Landing was a bit hard but I forgot I didn't jettison the stores this time :/ I suspect it's fairly repeatable if done slightly more carefully.lol.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfieldo Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Landed very awkwardly but forgot to jett the 120 tons of munitions you put on that plane. Blew the main gear's tires, but that was it. Nice challenge :juggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Tried twice, got down both times but blew out all the tires each time and ended up in an awkward position at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focha Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 The problem is not the crosswind. The problem is the windshear. Also the ATC directs you to runway 30 with a wind from 120-150... So you are landing with windshear, tail wind and heavy... I landed it well after jettison all weight and instead of landing on 30 I landed on runway 12.

Zeke Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I know this is fun to practice and try in this sim, but with those conditions they wouldn't try that in real life would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
