Film of simulated carrier landing

[flakbait]

I took this about 15 minutes ago after going over a few posts on the subject. All my landing approaches are very steep in profile, with a fast rotation out to landing. Just follow the gauges and what I do. Use the F5 view, zoomed in all the way, to find my touchdown point. This film covers takeoff to landing, and is around 150k in size.

If this doesn't help, I'll explain it in a 3-hour RW session in painful detail!

Thanks! downloading now, and going to go practice!!!


BRING ON THE CV'S!

Why are you bothering to practice on a runway? You aren't going to get any better or more efficient landing on a carrier by landing on a runway. Besides, landing on CVs won't be that hard. They more than likely won't pitch up and down, and they travel in a straight line. All you do is a straight line up with the carrier, reduce throttle, drop flaps and gear, fly in at 100MPH and touch down. CVs are traveling at around 15knots anyway, so you won't be going as fast as you think you would relative to the carrier.

Carrier trapping in WB wasn't very hard unless you were extremely damaged, if you want practice.. d/l that and try it there. Doubt it will be very much different since HT and Pyro were the ones behind that carrier group too. :-)

AK, funny but that's how Nuggets [new Navy pilots] train to land on a carrier deck. Miramar has a runway outfitted with arresting gear, plus a catapult. Landing in a small area takes practice, and that can be done on a runway. If you can get within that imaginary box, you'll land on a carrier. If sea states, and variable winds [horizontal, not vertical] are put in then landing on a runway would be pointless.

Right now it's all we've got for practice. When 1.05 hits the dload site then you can do the real thing. Until that time, this is about as close as you can get. WBs carrier landings were TOO easy for me. No sharp cross-winds, no pitching deck, and no realistic physics. That film is simply a reference on how I practice carrier landings. I've done it so many times it's second nature.
