I don't even play DCS but genuinely enjoy watching people on this channel play the game. Love the content. Cheers!

I'm not tired of these competitions at all. I laugh so hard regularly. The oddball aircraft, sonic boom tower buzzes, and F16s going VTOL. All pure gold.

"did you say GrindR?" lmao

Cap, thank you to you and the team for all your dedicated work! I’ve been on DCS for quite a while now but I will say that you and the team are the reason I still get on constantly. Regardless of whatever the dispute is, your tutorials are by far the best for the game. Thanks for all your very hard work!

No, Cap, the ENTIRE bridge crew, with the admiral's staff as well, are drunk.

Sat here on my ass in hospital for the 6th day running, sweating my balls into oblivion, burning through veins like a bawss, and I really needed a laugh. Cap's groin sweat sounds pretty good right about now.

Heya Cap - got an idea for a challenging carrier landing competition, based on the birds and the bees. 1st round as "normal" (with whatever variations you want to include to make it more challenging, like in this vid). In all subsequent rounds, players who are "out" all spawn in warbirds, and try to shoot down the players who got through. This would make your job, as the first man each round, much more difficult, as you'd be the only target for the warbirds, so you'd need to think of a way around that. One possibility would be for all the players after round one to spawn at once. Perhaps they could have guns only, (or maybe one missile each)? There would then be a cool dynamic where players with the objective of landing have to decide whether to just try to land, or whether to attack the warbirds first - and if they go for the warbirds, they'd have to decide when to land (because of limited fuel). It would of course get progressively more difficult as more people end up flying warbirds each round. Might be hectic and fun!

Another possibility would be to pair one player in a warbird with one player in a jet - but that could take a long time as you'd have to let each pair play out before the next spawn. You could maybe address this by limiting the number of players - it could be just people who have won previous competitions, or the top 3 from previous competitions... That wouldn't fit with the session being public, but I think it could be a fun video all the same.

Cap, for the next carrier landing challenge, can we have an enemy carrier who is constantly making evasive maneuvers and shooting at you to land on?

I've been flying since I was 9 years old. I've never gotten a license because I'm deaf and hard of hearing. That would only allow me to fly by myself. The purpose of my pilot's license was the ability to fly my family around, the way I was raised. My hearing also kept me from the military and becoming an astronaut. Today, if I want to fly. I go out to the airport, find a student pilot school and pay around $200.00/ hour, When I started flying with a pilot school, it cost $86.00/ hr. Growing up around airport's. I would walk around to see if anyone was going flying. I would walk up to them and ask if I could go with them? Most would ask where my parents are. After telling them, we would walk down to our hanger. Where they could meet my parents and let them know where I was going to be. Growing up, it didn't matter where we went or what we did, as long as we where back by dark.

I don’t know what carrier I would ‘expect’ in a GR skills competition, but I didn’t expect it would the USS Forrestal! Good fun, boys! 👍🏼

@Cap - I got the notification!!!

I think I figured the carrier approach out. When the carrier is turning right, you want to come in from the far _left_ and let the boat line itself up with you. Same thing only reversed when the boat is turning left; you come in from far _right_ . There should be a few seconds where you have a straight approach with the flight deck. Takes some wicked timing but it's gotta be better than trying to rudder yourself crazy at the last second.

Yeah, its the same idea as shooting a moving target. You dont aim directly at the target, you aim a bit ahead of the target, so the target moves into the projectile as it flys

The next carrier landing challenge, all aircraft will be required to try and land with max load on the aircraft. Like a full load of bombs, and they can't drop the ordinance. Overload the aircraft and see who can land without blowing up the carrier!

Yes😊

Is it true that the tower is placed on the right side (on landing) due the natural avoidance manouvre is dashing to the left?

Suggestion for a new carrier landing challenge: Approach the carrier upside down and the pilot that rolls around the shortest amount of time before actually landing wins.

It's so appropriate that it's the USS Forrestal.

Cap is able to land because his intoxication levels match that of the Admiral....😂
