It’s ok to make it a controlled crash rather than a kissed landing.ĭon’t have a full load of weapons and 8000+ of fuel, as you’ll have to land faster. It seems better to come in a little high with your butt dragging than too flat or too early. Try not to use the FPM aimed at the spot on the deck as your only guide, it usually means you’ll land early or hit the back of the boat. The ball in the last 50 feet or so will make it seem you’re going long, but you’re probably not. If you have the AoA right then remember the thrust changes alter your altitude, and the nose pitch over is controlling speed.
Use the ball if you can, as in, you are too low add thrust a smidgen, you are too high they easy off it a bit. If you are oscillating the throttle then you might be getting too slow, there’s a ‘trough’ that the engine spooling seems to get into, but it’s not dissimilar to ‘pushing for power’ of a helo, in that in becomes easier to anticipate purely with practice. As a rough guide your VSI is about 700 fpm in the final 10 seconds of the groove. Typically that sort of AoA will be a speed of 130-135 kts depending on weight. Use the flight path marker (FPM) in the bracket as well as the AoA lights, using trim to put it there in the downward and turn ideally.

Set up the TACAN, plus use the Course line, marked as 12 degrees left off from the boat heading.Įssentially that’s the short version, as you’re making an approach triangle of height, speed/angle of attack and distance to go. The MSFS model is simply another high power jet aircraft in terms of FBW simulation.Like a lot of things in aviation (or anything else really) it’s mainly about preparation and the set-up to make the hard part easier.įor me (not that good or educated a pilot), the goal is the following on a carrier landing:

There are several aspects of the FBW system that are public domain (all the real world flight manuals for the F/A-18 Charley, including the older WEPs manuals are available without restriction) that make the simulation in P3D and DCS very good.
This mode switch is simulated in the P3D and DCS models.again, not in the MSFS model. This is definitely NOT the case with the MSFS model and definitely IS the case with P3D and DCS models.Īnother characteristic of the real world aircraft is it's switching FBW modes based on airspeed and aircraft configuration. No need for trim or other control inputs. The overgeneralized, oversimplified explanation for a typical pilot would be the aircraft can be put in any "normal" flying attitude and the aircraft will settle into 1G flight and the control stick will normalize.

No doubt DCS F-18 is more complex, but as far as sophisticated of fly by wire - I don't think Boeing was involved or shared anything with DCS.Īs an example, The F/A-18 series FBW has what is called "1G mode". If you can add comments, based specially on your experience with the F-18 for DCS World, cogratefmparing the flight dynamics and as far as it can be done the systems modeling too, I will be grateful and pay ya nice Portuguese Stouter beer if you ever visit us 🙂 Edited June 13 by jcomm I particularly enjoyed the air carrier landing, and a couple of high speed / low alt valley flights 🙂 I had never tried Maverick since this weekend, but I decided to give it a try and just as it happened back in 2011/2012 with MS FLIGHT I am getting addict to the Challenges 🙂 Wonder if any of you who play DCS World F-18 and also FS 2020 could offer some compoarison between the way the fighter/bomber is modeled on both sims ? Although I sometimes played DCS World, it was mostly the UH-1h and the WW2 warbirds because I have no special interest in modern fighters, but when the F-18 was released for that platform, I believe somewhere along 2021, it was evaluated by various players, including som USAF pilots, and I took some time reading their reviews.
