Hey, SuperCap! The tandem landing at 11:12 was amazing! I vote that the two gentlemen who performed it be forever paired up on every sortie, because they make magic happen together.

I suspect it was matter of some milliseconds and lag so that between the time it took to coordinate both landings the system had "accepted" them both

The skill on display to snag that tandem landing is one of the most impressive thing's I have seen DCS related! Freeken Awesome!

This might just be the best thing your channel has done yet. Love the peanut gallery play-by-play, soo good!

I worked the flight deck. Heavy seas landing is probably the most insane thing I’ve seen people do.

Absolutely hilarious as usual. However I'm pretty certain we should all be worried for Damp. He's obviously got "Daddy" issues which he's projecting onto Cap. Or perhaps we should be worried for Cap. This won't end well for someone 😆😆😆😆

Can't believe nobody mentioned the viggen landing. Great stuff! Also surprised nobody flew the A-4.

The last landing challenge should have been a 100 knot tailwind. Landing in a headwind or crosswind, you can just sort of hover down, but you really have to control your approach in a tailwind.

Tailwind? painful :)

39:40 THAT was GREATNESS!

Been hoping you do another one of these. Always a good time watching for sure. And hopefully when I get my new gaming system I can start practicing.

that double landing was brilliant

🥳 Loved *The Carrier Landing Olympics* 🥳 What's next?.. Landing at an Airfield with active AAA?? *avoid getting shot down and land*

Had a thought for your next Carrier comp! Start with the largest (Nimitz class) then a smaller carrier for each stage of the comp....with the increasing wind factor! Maybe a 4 stage comp. Nimitz class, then Forrestal class, then maybe HMAS Melbourne or HMS Hermes (if its modelled) finishing with HMS Invincible in 200knot winds

11:13 excellent, amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

OMG 1 hour of premium fun, thank you guys for a great time 😂😂😂 I hope I can join you next time.

These guys make this feat seem a lot more simple than it actually is. Carrier landings are tricky, sometimes even for the best pilots. Point blank period these guys got the Skillz to Pay the Bills 🔥🔥

Would love to see how many you could get to land on the carrier and park up... But then all get airborne again!

I mean a real carrier has to recover planes no matter the weather, but they would definitely turn the ship into the wind as much as possible.

You guys know that carrier landings are never crosswind, right? The carrier steers into the wind, so it's always straight down the deck. Anyway, more challenging than a steady crosswind would be a very gusty headwind--say, a 30 or 40-knot gust factor. Have you tried one of those?

Also, have the ship moving. Both through the water and pitching deck. "Harder" is darker, lower ceiling and visibility. Run 1 - Day, clear, 20 KTS wind, ship moving at 15 kts (easy). Run 2, night, 500' ceiling, 2 miles vis, 15kts wind, 20 knots ship, mildly pitching deck. Run 3, night, 200' 1/2 mile vis, 30 knots wind, winds shifting from 30 degrees between 1000' and 500', 10 knots ships speed, pitching deck.

I read this article today and the first paragraph made me think of the Reapers right away. CONVERGENCE!!! Release the hounds: Army event to feature drone swarms that behave like a wolf pack. NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The U.S. Army plans to experiment with drone swarms that behave more like a wolf pack at its second aviation-focused exercise leading up to Project Convergence later this year, the director of the service’s Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team told Defense News

I got one that's especially good if you can use WW2 carriers - landing non-carrier warbirds on carriers. Other than the fact it was done in real life (Spitfire landing aboard USS Wasp during Operation Bowery) I remember back in the days of 'Combat Flight Simulator', specifically CFS2 sometimes being annoyed by the lack of ordnance options for missions - and so learned to at times take off and land with a P-38 on a carrier deck staying just high enough above stall speed and not over speeding so I could brake before running out of deck. Fun and challenging, more so with how incompetent the LSO was in it (I can't tell you how many times with actual naval aircraft I got the 'cut and land' signal and died in a fireball, yet when I got wave offs made the wires).

Biggest technique in this is Throttle for Altitude and Pitch for airspeed to get your approach dialed in.

Hey Cap, how does one join your squadron? I would love to join. I'm a VR player with 1000+ hours in the Boggerchip and 500+ in the A10. I've relied on your videos to learn the airframes I own.

Can you set up landing competition with variable wind directions?

@grimreapers

2 жыл бұрын

Dont think so

Carriers turn into the wind so a crosswind wouldn't really be an issue. so pitch may be an issue but not roll. I think it would take something special to bring pitch over limits though

Two planes, one wire.

TBH, each round could alternate day/night landings, with increasing weather after each cycle.

When you just started playing dcs and these boys doing 10 minute frogfoot turns in 3 seconds

TBH harriers might be more challenging for round 4. Might be fun to watch?

Use a C130 they don't have a hook, and the don't need all the Deck, they take off from where they stop.

What do they mean by rudder kick? I didn't notice anything

25:14 VTOL Hornet?? :D I bet he´d manage to brake without arresting the wire.

How about a warbird wheel landing competition? Tailwheel may not touch the ground for 3 seconds after mains. Don't forget to add turbulence, smooth winds are too easy! It's not real flying if you don't get thrown around for a bit, you know. I usually type 2x the wind speed into the relevant box, don't know or care what the units are but it feels about right.

How do I get in on this? Looks like so much fun!

The hornet has been out for years and these dudes still cant land on a stationary deck :D

Wait until the US Navy comes up with the idea of these holographic rings your have to fly through to land on a carrier, ala N64 Pilotwings. The computer projects the approach rings onto the helmet HUD and the pilot just flies through them until they land... Could be squares of light like a strike zone.

@RhodokTribesman

They already have systems better than that. On an F-16 for example, you have a dashed line to set the velocity vector on for correct glide slope, and then another bracket to center that shows correct angle of attack. There's more to landing than physically being on the correct glideslope, but there are already a ton of glide slope aids as is (such as PAPI lights)

Will DCS not do night landing?

Hum. Methinks perchance the Reapers might need to do some more carrier ops? You know, for the practice? 😄

Needs Added Bonus Shootout/Penalty Kick version : random F5 waterspouts cluttering up the approach, creating constantly-varying crosswind angles. Note : waterspouts have been known to pick up fish and toss them about... I figure an F5 could grab orcas and sunfish and large chunks of kelp forest and drape them across the aerodynamic surfaces, altering lift at a moment's notice. .... ok.... I get GCS is lacking the flying orcas and such... ... do you think I could do a mod based on the Jug?
