Dragon1-1 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This was an U-2G, a specially redesigned carrier-capable version of the U-2. Quite unique, only three in existence, but there's nothing unusual about it. It wasn't a non-carrier plane landing on a carrier by virtue of the sheer STOL capacity, the U-2G had to add lift dumpers, strengthened landing gear and hook in order to be possible to land on a carrier. The Herc, in the meantime, was completely unmodified, and didn't use the arrestor hook to land, it just stopped very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have an emergency alright....it would need new landing gear and probably a session or two on an alignment jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cool thing about DCS is airplanes are stocked like Linus kept extra pianos. No re-alignment needed...just pull a fresh F15 out of stores and here you go! Have fun with it! I've broken more F-18Cs than were ever made and never got so much as a whiny-gram from the DoD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilot used the emergency landing gear handle, so perhaps it was a hydraulic issue preventing normal landing gear extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 The tailhook is far from useless, we just need ED to make arresting gear to go with it. This would be very handy for emergency landings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisuli Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'm almost twenty-thirtynine, and I still get bummed out when I park my I-16 in the nuke hanger in Incirlik and they won't mount up those two B-61s. I know the I-16 carries bombs; I've seen 'em under the wings! Bloody ground crew takes off for lunch and leave a pair of purple meanies in the hanger and I have no way to hang them! It would be cool to have arresting gear (air force style) on runways. It would be even cooler to have IFOLS and a box painted on the runways. The ROI on these kinds of things is vanishingly small, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be cool. Just like it would be cool to have those B-61s. Totally useless, but cool.

There's nothing cool about nuclear bombs.... Also it would be totally useless for RB to make the emergency hook work if there is no airfield arresting gear that works with it. so again, pointless 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrestor hooks may be pointless but come on, why not just model the hook to at least fall down. It's supposed to be full fidelity after all and we're paying for it. I know it's a small detail but small details add up, for example things like circuit breakers are awesome immersion wise. I love the fact that circuit breakers are modeled and present on most ED modules such as the fa18, a10c, huey, mi8 (f16c? F5e?), I don't know if other third parties do it but I'd be very happy and confident in flying a module that has those small touches. The fact that circuit breakers aren't modeled on the mirage 2000 of course isn't a deal breaker but in my head I can't help but think it's a bit lazy to not add those pretty simple things (relatively speaking) . So that's why I'd like to see the arrestor hook animated, we're supposed to be getting a full fidelity module and there's not much excuse for not having small touches like these (of course, I can wait till early access ends for small details to come).

Nahen Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Is there a working emergency stop system at any airport in DCS today? No. So, for what the working tail hook if nothing can catch it? Its all i this theme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know, there could be working barrier arresting systems introduced to DCS in the future. 2 Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.
