How to Land on an Aircraft Carrier

I hope they would add the B-25 bomber and have a challenge to take off on a carrier 😅

VERY helpful ...thanks

There's a bug here. Currently if you are at 5 degrees pitch and 3 degree glideslope, your descent rate is going to be far more than 700 feet

That was great, very informative…!!

As someone who came here thanks to their adhd.. this seems SOOOO complex... DCS is WAAAAY more realistic than I thought it was from pervious DCS videos i've seen. Crazy stuff. You can REALLY get into the technical weeds here

the f14 is killing me supper fun to land on well land but on a carrier i lose control and crash

I wish this was the case for war thunder 😭💀also is this DCS or something different

Thanks so much for the info.

Talk about making it look easy :D Thanks for a nice totorial. Having done quite a few traps recently but it's really nice to have a video to refference.

Its SO HARD!

Everytime I start the turning everything goes wrong. UGH!!!!

I've been looking for a video like this for a while. THANK YOU!

Now if the radio would work. Yall should fix that

Superb tutorial, I needed a complete breakdown of the procedures as I have been doing it all wrong, thank you so much team ED.

I still don't understand how to bank properly in the pattern. Everything out there says to pull 1% of your airspeed in g's (e.g. 3.5g for 350 knots). Following this seems to put you way too close to the course line (less than the 1.3 suggested in the video), and needs a very deep bank (45 degrees?) to line up the airplane on final. In this video here though he goes MUCH less than the 1% (around 2.2gs for 350 knots, not 3g). So what's correct?

me being on the localizer, and on the glide slope for miles, then having the hornet ball in the middle, being very proud, landing, and then i overshot all wires. the f?

i saw a RL video of a hornet landing and he moved the stick a lot and constantly, why do we only use trim here?

Today is Jan 22 2023 and I got the Super Carrier module a week ago and the Hornet a week before that. So it's been a crash course (no pun intended) to get both under my fingers. I figured out the carrier pretty quick. The Hornet was a little tougher but I am getting it. I have done takeoff's and pattern work, no landings up until today. I just did my first landing without exploding. It wasn't a pretty one, but no death or damage. The previous attempts were too short, too long, too fast, too slow...and when you get the perfect one...done. Now I can unpucker my backside and relax. Just fine tunin' from here on out. Then night ops, then night ops in rain/heavy seas...

this is an australian thats been around too many americans... ur accent sounds funny to an australian ear hahahaha

So awesome!

This is so hard to do flying with the keyboard, I need to suck it up and get a stick.

Thank you, i have been trying to land my F35 on a carrier and this tutorial helped me a lot

Very concise video. TY for your time. Have to say, learning to pat head, rub belly, yell at kids, answer teams call, open sliding glass door for dogs/cats, fix track IR, unf*ck random issues IRL and in game in a windows eco system...is certainly is a labor of love, or obsession...most likely the latter. Cheers!

does this work in real life ? i am a nooob here

Why is the FCES page on? To look for any errors? I also noted that the CSEL distance is only visible on my right DDI, not the left DDI. Which is OK, bu a little strange

I feel like 1000 of them are me.

He made it look so easy. I wish it was that easy for me.

You make that look super easy!

What we really need is a pushback feature post-mission to park in tight spots on the deck!

After crashing into the carrier 10 times I decided to educate myself lol

Now that was interesting...

First time through some of the details.

Very informative, thanks 👍🏻 that’s a lot to take in!

very nice module...Worth the money.

I still can’t land for the life of me 😂

DCS so needs an 'exit' and 'enter' plane animation. The other day out of fun I pressed the eject button in the AH 64 and mt character climbed out... Wish we could do that, walk around your plane before you take on a sorty.

Brilliant video, have subscribed. Now I just need to get DCS and the F18 and find the courage to try a carrier landing......

Fantastic video, Wags.

What file in DCs do I put the downloaded file? Eagle Dynamics/....... or User/....../savedgames?

Hey youre the guy from dcs!!

I cannot figure out how to get the F/A 18C or the F-15E to zoom out so you can get to the control panels. It is zoomed in to much. FC3 planes all work just find. Can you tell me how to fix this. I can't even get to startup.

How do you gauge how far you are from the Course Line?

bonified legit!

A couple tips from someone that has a lot of real traps. Use the auto throttle control function in the airplane. If you have the Thrustmaster throttle, It's the small red button under your left ring finger. Once activated it will show up in the HUD as ATC. This will make it much easier to get aboard. Now use pitch to control your glideslope.
Once you pick up the meatball on final, try not to be reactive to the meatball, waiting for a high or low indication. Assuming it's close to centered when you pick it up and you're around 700 fpm, flatten your approach with a little back pressure on the stick and look for the meatball to move very slightly above centered and then adjust back to a slightly lower pitch and drive the ball back to centered. Then repeat until touchdown. Now you're controlling the ball not the other way around. This technique was called "Crowning the Ball." years ago and helped me get aboard every time.
This technique works also with any airplane flying a glideslope.
