    As a follower of Tricker, I just found a vid of his that mentions you. This is great stuff for all pilots working the carrier. I noticed this was 5 years ago, and I hope you are doing well. Great stuff...you could make some $$ at RUclips with your knowledge!

    Hey Lex, are you still around? Hope all is well. I'd like to ask you a few questions in ref to the Hornet/Super Hornet and the Blue Angels.

  • @laminarflow51
    @laminarflow51 6 лет назад

    You definitely have the voice and knack for explaining things. My only minor suggestion would be to display the throttle and control surface positions (Right CTRL and ENTER) so we can see exactly how much you're moving the controls.

    Question: How much of a speed/altitude adjustment must you do to adjust for a slower or faster boat? (lets say the boat is going at 35nm (for whatever reason)? on your 180 do you still aim for the same values or is there another procedure? (maybe that's more of a Case II ?)

    That corrected me not being able to understand "on speed" Not doing pitch correction with stick is so unnatural for me ;) Many thanks....now turns look like a boss..now i need to get the numbers right :)

  • @Lazengogh
    @Lazengogh 6 лет назад

    Great stuff. And yeah, please share us if you feel if there is something wrong with the flight model, because that's the best way to get it better eventually. Also telling that something is very spot on, commenting on that is also great to hear. Keep videos coming and thanks!

  • @aggriv8
    @aggriv8 6 лет назад

    Great videos! May I suggest you use the RtControl + Enter key input to display the flight control indicator (red box on the bottom left side of your screen) so that as you are explaining what to do or not do with your HOTAS we can actually have a physical representation on the screen? I would help to also have this displayed and also keep you from having to explain as much what your hands are doing since they are off camera. Thanks again!

    I'm not sure why we aren't seeing a thumbsup for every view, but you gotta be pretty satisfied with a 400:1 ratio. Great work Lex, you're a well-spoken, natural instructor.

  • @chrisschmieder1609
    @chrisschmieder1609 6 лет назад

    would you make a video showing you stick, throttle and button layout? It would be nice to see the preferences that an actual F-18 pilot uses, and maybe give us more insight what the most critical flight controls are. SUBSCRIBED!

  • @mirtaet123

    Little correction. "Fresnel lens" sounds like "Frenel lens".

    • @tread140
      @tread140 6 лет назад

      Cause that is the proper pronunciation. Apparently its a French word, so...there ya go.

  • @pchappy2.0
    @pchappy2.0 6 лет назад

    Thanks for starting to do some videos, this one alone has gotten my landings more on track with proper procedures. I'm still practicing on land, nowhere near ready for the boat, but this video has greatly improved my understanding of how to get set up and manage the pattern, turns, and final.

  • @rivestj
    @rivestj 6 лет назад

    Hi Lex! Like so many other people, I found your videos so great and so instructional that I made a special thread on the DCS forum to group them there, because there are SO many DCS F-18 would be pilots like me who crave for that sort of instructional material, thanks so much! You can see it here: forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3542484&postcount=1

    @unwissend83 6 лет назад

    Thank you for your effort with your videos. What a great work for us armchair pilots. :) A little hint, if you want to show your audience you stick/throttle/rudder input just hit right ctrl and enter in game, this will open a little control input window in the lower left corner.

  • @grogjin1307
    @grogjin1307 6 лет назад

    A-Pool stashed SNA here. This was a really helpful guide. Usually I hook skip 90 percent of the time because of my lack of control of my pitch but this actually helped me get the hang of landing. Now instead of hook skipping I either get a perfect trap or I stall and become part of the back of the ship.

    Really informative video! this one helped me out alot especially the application of the throttle before the turn. i was up and down all over the place before that little jem. Great videos.

  • @Blablablabla1ify
    @Blablablabla1ify 6 лет назад

    Very good instruction! The beauty with the RUclips era is that, as everyone has a unique way of conveying their knowledge, we ‘students’ receive similar information from different angles. I find this to be a superb way of soaking up knowledge.
