My personal thread of fun/crazy/tricky/insane landings!

[sondo214]

Hi to everyone!

 

I decided to open my personal thread with fun/crazy/tricky/insane/dangerous landings!

 

I do not have a lot free time in general so new landings will be coming after some time.

 

Any comments and\or relative youtube posts are very welcome!

Can somebody help me how to make the youtube video to be displayed in the post instead of the url? It's my first video post...

 

Thanks!

[Flagrum]

Put that NY1RL3nATs0 part between those youtube tags

 

[sondo214]

Thanks Flagrum!

This is the craziest Huey landing I have ever seen! :thumbup:

 

(not my video)

[sondo214]

Well that's real crazy!

[sondo214]

 

 

Ok here is another one!

[sondo214]

How about raising the difficulty level to impossible? How about an autorotation landing on the ATC?

 

Coming in the next video...

Naahhhh that's not going to happen... Autorotation from forward flight at altitude? No way!

 

Do feel challenged to prove me wrong. :thumbup:

[sondo214]

Yep, that's right. The second I hit the fuel cuttoff the heli had 60kts fwd speed at 870ft AGL.

Videos are ready (one from inside, one outside) I just have to upload them. Will be ready in a couple of hours!

 

Challenge accepted!

Autorotation to an ATC!

 

 

That's the outside video of the Auto to the ATC!

[sondo214]

 

 

That's the cocpit video of the autorotation!

[Mattressi]

That's the cocpit video of the autorotation!

 

:surprise:

 

:clap:

[TurboHog]

FAAAAAKEEEEEEEE!

 

Consider that a compliment and a sign of deep respect. :joystick:

[VanjaB]

How many hours of virtual flight time to develop that kind of skill is required? I have to say Im seriously impressed with some of these vids. :)

[Griffin]

Holy Sugar Honey Ice Tea!!! You crazy bastard!

[sondo214]

Dear VanjaB,

 

I cannot take a snapshot of my logbook because when I hit the PrtScn takes a picture of my desktop even though I am in the game, so I took a picture with my camera and posting it here

[sondo214]

I do not know how to operate the coms of the heli and most of it's switches and systems, I do not know how to power it up and shut it down (except fuel cut off LOL), I have never flown any mission, never been online, just wandering around in instant action

 

More videos are to come...

Well that is impressive indeed. This is what Im planning to do with the Mi-8 (indeed there is very little else to do with it at the moment) just mess around in free flight, practicing startups, takeoffs and landings in differnt conditions.

I just bought Mi-8 but have never flown it. You are right though. Free flight is more fun! I do not have the free time to get deeper into the sim unfortunately. Missions, MP and things like that. Maybe in the future...

Thunderstorm ship ops

 

Ok coming up next,

 

Today we are in the middle of a thunderstorm 65mph winds (30m/s) 11 on beaufort scale.

To make things worse we have turbulence another 30m/s.

Visibility is 500m (a quarter mile)

Cloud base 800m

 

The runway and airport is closed (I wonder why!!! had never seen such message again when entering mission!)

I placed the heli in the runway but the game started me from parking ramp rejecting responsibility for the mission! We are taking off with our own responsibility!

We have no nav aids to find the ship, which by the way is in the middle of at least 7-10m wave height situation! (such waves are not vissible in DCS but the ship going up and down is seen and makes the approach insane!)

 

Conditions are NO GO... thing is the mission is of National Importance and has to been done no matter what...

 

Lets see what awaits us...

Thunderstorm ship landing

 

 

Things to notice:

 

1)Airspeed when the heli is airborne...

2)Airspeed when slowly apraching the ship to land...

3)The ships deck going up-down...

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Nice! Ok another challenge: can you come in for an auto rotation landing, then get a 180 degree (or more) pedal turn in before you touch down?

[b00ce]

Now do it on a moving ship with a cross wind. :devil:

[Cibit]

Had me smiling, thanks:thumbup:
