Ooph, I am utterly crap at that. I find it really hard to get the plane on speed AoA when coming out of the crosswind lag, all the while preventing a nose and altitude drop. I am in awe of this guy's skill: You didn't press the correct button: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Galbraith 0 Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 If you havent seen it, CW Lemoine has a couple of videos where he is flying a Tomcat in DCS multiplayer, and its hilarious. He is so proud when he gets it in a flat spin headed out to sea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daan 0 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Good video, great story. Having watched more instructional videos, I think I should add a little more gas and already start trimming during the crosswind leg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Galbraith 0 Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 Setup the autopilot and use that whilst getting the gear and flaps down. Autopilot has an autotrim mode. If you drop the throttle back, by the time you got all those down you are approaching 150 knots, and you can then put autothrottle on. I made sure I put the dlc on an axis, for example, the is the side axis on the throttle control. Makes it easier to control than just on or off you get from the joystick. Have fun. This is far easier than middair refuelling, which I still struggle with.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daan 0 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Just tried it again, now with the F/A-18C (better HUD) and closely copying Matt Wagner's steps in his Supercarrier Case I video. I came in too low on the base leg, but managed to snag the no. 3 wire. 😄 AA refueling, tried that a long time ago with the Mirage, very frustrating experience. However, I intend to learn it, eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daan 0 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 (edited) Getting better on my traps, although most are still graded as B or C, being often positioned too much to the left of the glidescope. Apparently, a 3rd party developer is going to construct a IADS system for DCS, part to be incorporated in the core game and part as a DLC: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/259201-update-checking-interest-on-dcs-iads-integrated-air-defense-network-part-2/ Edited January 18 by Daan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Galbraith 0 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Yeah, there has been rumours of that for a while. I wonder if I ought to send them my AD template for Caucasus? Other than the SA5, its completely authentic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
