"I read the NATOPS manual and practiced hard in the F35B (MSFS). I had to work around a few things like no deviation bar and a lack of Tacan enabled on the ship but the approach is authentic and follows real world procedures. Of course, if anyone spots an error please let me know!"
Featuring Indiafoxtecho's F-35B, Miltech's ARG Carrier and SoFly Weather Preset Pro for Microsoft Flight Sim. NATOPS manuals can be found through a simple online search (search VSTOL NATOPS).

There's definitely a high pucker-factor in flying carrier approaches in bad weather. I can't imagine trying to do it with a non VSTOL and having to crash into the deck at high speed. Beautifully done.

Finding your content this holiday season has been fantastic. I didn't realise just how good MSFS was for low fast flying. Particularly enjoying the UK navigation sorties like the mach loop, the lakes and Scotland. Having an absolute blast especially as I was in centre parcs earlier this year and saw the hawks flying over head and now I've been able to recreate the route. Please keep the content going and perhaps expanding to other major UK bases like Brize, Lakenheath, Conningsby etc? ATC comm protocol would be fun also! Many thanks!

Just need a needle pointing in the right direction! I’m hoping that new updates will make the carriers more realistic in terms of navigation. Perhaps I’ll revisit this along with a precision approach.
Imagine doing this on a Harrier (in DCS or Real Life even)? That's perhaps the first time I just fully realised how impactful the automation in the F-35 is in reducing the workload. Imagine having to constantly keep an eye on all the instruments while slowly adding more nozzles and throttles. Amazing video.

@@cgaviator It’s based on conditions of weather, night landings are always Case III so it’s always going to be over the stern, heavy weather recovery’s will also be Case III over the stern depending on PriFly’s Decision. I’m a yellow shirt on these big decks, I pull these birds daily and watch this happen. Also, you’re not wrong for landing on spot 9 because you’re just a single F35 doing CQ’s on the deck, but normally the first F35 will always scoot up to spot 7 before paddles gives him the clear to cross. Then that gives us the opportunity to recover another jet on 9 and hold him while 7 is spinning into the slash. On these mods that these guys have made of the ships deck with all the aircraft on it there are some inaccuracies to it and it bothers me, for instance, GSE (tractors) parked Between F35’s on a green deck, that thing has to have a driver or be tied down and also the modders like to fill the slash with all kinds of jets to make it feel alive, but I can’t taxi into the slash when they do that so it gets bothersome because no aircraft is just going to sit on the LA unless it’s a spotted helo that’s spinning. The foul line (alternating red and white that should not be crossed by personnel without specific instruction) is shifted so close to the island that there’s no room for the Ground support equipment to park there, meaning that they’ve just scattered them across the deck to make it feel “alive” Trust me I was FLY2PO and I would NEVER have no shit like that going on during flight quarters 😂😂😂

The chart you have for reference shows a left turn onto a right arc, yet you flew a right turn into a left arc. Are there two types of procedures for this approach? I certainly stand by your comment “known power and attitude gives a predictable performance “ - or words to that effect! Flew it like it was on rails, very informative particularly the control input responses once in the hover. I was under the impression it flew like a Harrier, leave it to the (good ol’) US of A to come up with something different… thanks!

While it's usually impossible for me to give props to anything military/naval based aviation related in MSFS because there is a far superior option out there for that kind of stuff, i do want to complement your piloting and (almost 100%) dedication to NATOPS SOPs. While i don't know shit about F-35 SOPs i was a bit confused about when the ball call came, but besides that i am certain that if you had the DCS Supercarrier with a capable module (Hornet is my preference) you would rock CASE 3 down to every detail rather than going for minimums straight because having things like the ball and long range laser lineup system will be able to assist you. Plus usually you'd fly "needles" anyways.

real world procedures in msfs. what’s not to love❤. thankyou i love the callsigns. you can tell that war was designed by macho men. No ‘TulipOne’ or ‘DaisyOne’ inbound. Its all stealth and daggers😂

Doubtful ever! Maybe if DCS have a proper F35 but info is so classified it would be a best guess

Stick for up and down!? WTAF. Is the real aircraft is configured this way in VTOL mode? As a rotary wing pilot this is heresy.

Yes, it’s designed so the inputs are similar to forward flight. None of this funny business with the controls. It’s to keep it common between phases of flight. When I messed about in a real helicopter sim, I had a hell of a job telling my brain to put my throttle hand forward at landing rather than backwards! 😂
Fun fact, the F-35 definitely cannot fly in a lightning storm… just throwing that out there..

@@cgaviator your secret is safe with me! 🤣 Man I wish MS would do a combat sim...either that, or DCS up its game and get gfx like MSFS and mods like it has! The melding of those two would be insanely good!!
It's not realistic. It lacks the moment the plane fails and crashes either on the deck or in the ocean or the pilot passes out due to oxygen issues

Procedures may have been "realistic" but the jet deff wasn't. Entertaining nonetheless

"realism" "f35B" "msfs" yeah im not sure you can say realism there considering how the f35B that you're flying will be absolutely nothing like the real thing, yknow because its a brand new aircraft thats still in testing and production and service and is heavily classified. this is an estimation at best of what its like.

All true, though the realism suggested is for the procedure. But I agree, MSFS isn't well designed for highly complex military jets.

@@cgaviator I’m not necessarily talking about msfs I just mean in general this is no way to actually simulate the f35 as hardly any of it’s true details and spec are know.
