BluesmanSF Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hello fellows simmers! Just wanted to share the feelings and a bit of adrenaline I got from the first succesful night-time zero-visibility ILS landing. I'm still a total newbie with the Hog, can barely manage the easy instant missions, and been practicing with a bit of this and that. I have some history with FSX so I thought ILS landings would be the one thing I COULD do, but Dear Lord I'm not able to do that again if I wanted to. I put a simple ils practice mission at night with such a bad visibility I literally couldn't see the position of air brakes :megalol: Anyways, interecepted the Batumi localizer at about 10nm and 2500ft, and after that, he** broke loose. With a ridicilous amount of luck and chasing the needles (which you should not do), I ended up in perfectly centered position some 20ft above the runway, which scared the cp** out of me, but somehow managed to flare and made a decent landing, but due to fog I barely could steer straight and brake to a full halt on the runway. Dang a smoke felt good after that. Man I'm in looove with this sim. If you want to watch the track I can post it, there's some random fiddling with the buttons cause there's still so much I don't have a clue, and it looked quite fun afterwards =D. Thanks Ed guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanwfr Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Yea, I've done that too but, I've been told (by someone who knows ;) ), that Hog's ILS needles are a bit wild at the moment... So, I went back at day time with some amount of visibility to avoid still being chasing them a few seconds before flare time. But, I'd enjoy watching your tracks as it's always very satisfying to see how others can have some problems too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibit Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Well done. I have made a series of these bad weather ILS missions for both MP and SP and I love flying them. There are limitations with the ILS in the SIM at the present time though I have not tried with 1.0.0.9 yet. But there is a real sense of achievement when you land succesfully.

Yes I noticed that too, at treshold they are pretty much dancing by themselves.. Anyways, here's the track, have fun, at least I did when I watched and noticed the never-ending fiddling with the switches.. :joystick: edit: can't spell..zero vis ils.trk Edited July 30, 2011 by BluesmanSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesmanSF Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 all of that AND you get to blow stuff up too!!!! Wait, what?! There's guns too?? :P Seriously, you guys are right. Almost got the hang of airfueling (any part of KC-135 tankers floating around the sea was by almost utterly, completely, and thoroughly, NOT done by me, or the Wolkswagen-sized gun, no way), then practiced some formation flying with a fellow F-117, followed by some traffic circuits trying to keep it +-10 from assigned alt/speed/heading, just to relax. So much to do, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanwfr Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Yes I noticed that too, at treshold they are pretty much dancing by themselves.. Anyways, here's the track, have fun, at least I did when I watched and noticed the never-ending fiddling with the switches.. :joystick: edit: can't spell.. From my back seat - as watching your track felt somewhat like it ;) - I realized the number of things to do I didn't know about a few weeks ago... There I was just watching without the stress from having not to forget a single click here or a reverse-scroll there... But it was satisfying, you're so smart when you're only watching someone else do things or hesitate. Like the TACAN right button scroll BEFORE the right click and f*g X/Y flip instead of the 6 of 16X channel... kind of a bad-ass feeling ;) ... but you were the one who talked about publishing your track, I was just the one who said ...well, ok. In fact, that was not funny enough! I would say I could have done better it that situation, something with more light at the end and some big noise :music_whistling: But this kind of track can also serve the purpose of improving as you can jump into the front seat with Escape + take control to try a better handling at some point. And Fast forward can even get you close sooner to retry. Time-reverse would be nice too, like what you have in Dirt-2-3 although I know it is not possible in a sim as it would require to undo things like if we could un-brake a broken glass :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 BluesmanSF , sometimes when I come back from work and my girlfriend is also bitching at me - I wait until it is dark and fire up a similar scenario - when I succeed: I had a good day ! If not: I will try again! Dang a smoke felt good after that. yes - you're right! +1 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
