325th_Leunam Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Before this addon, the russian planes used to have when landing, a vertical line and a horizontal line on the hud so you could aligning the plane to land under no visibility conditions, so my question is where did this lines go?

Tallyho1961 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 And very easy and effective to use it is. Much better IMO than the A-10/F-15 system. ___________________________________________________________________ HEC 435W PSU | ASRock 939Dual SATA2 | AMD64 3700+ | 2G PC3200 DDR RAM ASUS X1950PRO 256MB | Audigy 2 | Saitek X45 | CH Pro Pedals | Track IR3 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force_Feedback Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 To be honest, I still got no idea how the ils works in the a10/f15 :| From now on I'll be known as the experienced noob :p The ils in the russian jets is sweet, but I often ignore it when landing, especially on the kuz, resulting in very "special" glidepaths (ie either coming down with full flaps and brakes, or just making it over the deck's edge) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmonaut Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 If connecting the dots in the HUD ;) doesn't appeal to you then you could always use the ILS bars on the HSI.. good practice too if you loose the HUD and need to land in bad weather.

Pilotasso Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I dont know why but ILS always makes me crash. trying to follow the glideslope rigorously makes me overcontroll, Im better off in visual landings.

Tallyho1961 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I dont know why but ILS always makes me crash. trying to follow the glideslope rigorously makes me overcontroll, Im better off in visual landings. Me too. I got used to landing WWII birds in IL2 so I'm pretty comfortable with the mechanics of landing. Which means I only crash now and then :icon_jook I've been playing with the LOMAC ILS systems for the learning value. I find the F-15 the toughest to follow and usually wind up ignoring it and going visual during the final 20-30 seconds or so. I guess ILS really comes into its own landing in a pea soup fog or a power cut at the old airbase. It occurs to me I should set up a test mission with zero visibility - if that's possible - and try landing IFR only. That should be invigorating :) ___________________________________________________________________ HEC 435W PSU | ASRock 939Dual SATA2 | AMD64 3700+ | 2G PC3200 DDR RAM ASUS X1950PRO 256MB | Audigy 2 | Saitek X45 | CH Pro Pedals | Track IR3 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee999 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 That may be the problem. Once you are line up and have the right glide when using the ILS, you don't "follow" it with the stick. You constantly adjust speed to keep the correct glide till touch down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 That's because one you're on the glideslope you're supposed to -maintain- it, not chase it. A touch over or under is ok, just don't completely lose it. Once on glideslope, put the FPI on -2.5/-3 degrees on the HUD and KEEP IT THERE. Perfect glidepath, no need to look a the needles for anything other than confirmation that you're on glideslope ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallyho1961 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm drawing a blank: what's the FPI? ___________________________________________________________________ HEC 435W PSU | ASRock 939Dual SATA2 | AMD64 3700+ | 2G PC3200 DDR RAM ASUS X1950PRO 256MB | Audigy 2 | Saitek X45 | CH Pro Pedals | Track IR3 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma6584 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Here you go...check this thread out. I've got the daytime landings mastered but have been working on IFR landing in night and bad weather. I'm crashing a lot. LOL! Fun as hell though. http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=10591 Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
