And... if you skip to post #10 you'll see my own track ;-)

 

It was piece of cake (but poor brakes and tail wheel...), starting from recoilfx's Mission and track

Nice vids guys. I like to watch how you guys do it. Thanks for the info!

Hell dammit! - I eff'd up yesterday - big time - I owe firstly Diehard, then Jcomm, and also Foul Ole Ron a big apology!

 

Firstly DieHard I thought you were someone else Dude - I took some flak a good while back from someone and noticed they occasionally acted negatively to other members as well - I thought you were he - but did some digging tonight and it aint you - big sorry buddy!

 

Sorry Jcomm for fouling up your thread for a bit. And dito Foul Ole Ron - sorry to be so adamant!

 

I'll stick to flying for a bit;)

VIAMANAMAN, as far as I'm concerned I actually appreciated your contributions to the thread, including the track!

 

So, you owe me no apologies ! ;-)

 

I hope one day we can all meet online, which naturally depends only on me learning how to work with DCS online, something I didn't try yet :-/

Appreciate your kind words (again) Jcomm (I never did say thanks earlier).

 

Gonna keep me head down, but I'll be around again, after I stop feeling like such an ass!

 

Nice one

Saw Drew land an F-15 on a carrier this afternoon on the Virtual Aerobatics server. He was too close to the end of the carrier and didn't have enough room to turn around and take off again.

Hats off to you and Merlin for doing precise height, straight in approaches!! I couldn't do that, I couldn't find the (very) short final references, so I copied the old carrier approach - which worked well for me.

Hi Vimanaman, nice smooth flying dude!!!.

 

How do you do those tight turns on the ground? is it differential wheel braking? I've found that when I push the stick forward and apply rudder to unlock the tail wheel (as the flight manual recommends), then it becomes uncontrollable as if it locks in some random odd position, is a bitch to get it straight again.

Thanks Tucano_uy,

 

Yeah turning done with lots of positive but measured differential braking - I realised I couldn't be slow to reposition because of the 'creeping along the deck thing' (still creeps along with the parking brakes on), so kept power higher than norm, and switching between tail wheel locked and unlocked as required, always trying to keep it rolling / moving and yet controlling with the rudder and dif brakes.

 

I was struggling with manoeuvring with the tail wheel unlocked before I spent far too many hours trying to land on the boat, but since then I'm OK with it - a combination of a bit of power, lots of rudder, keeping it moving, and very positive dif braking seems to work for me now (knowing where the winds is out of also helps).
