Direct Lift Control. They are spoilers that can be extended and retracted by the pilot's thumbwheel on the joystick, which either adds or reduces drag, means you can either climb or descend without changing pitch or power.

Glad to hear it still serves a purpose!

that depends whether you fly VRF or IFR, that is visual flight rules or instrument flight rules. In the first case, simply visually. This also includes finding the airport by using known landmarks, which one should study prior to the flight, that can be something like "follow the highway, then overfly a town and the airport will be to the left of the river coming out of the town" or similar. For instrument flight rules, there are charts, in which case you need to set up waypoints that allow you to follow the approach charts. In absence of waypoints this is also done using VOR/NDB, ADF, or TACAN beacons to help you guide the aircraft. These procedures are much more involved and too much to explain in this comment. In both cases of course basic navigation skills are required and a prerequisite, and of course pre-briefing the flight and all phases of the flight prior to the flight is necessary.

Yasin, if you can try and get a used or new (also cheap) logitech extreme 3d pro. It is not expensive at all, and really good enough as an entry stick and will make your life much better in the sim. No need for all the high end stuff everyone is talking about, but a stick will change your life. The other option for a good entry stick is the t16000m from thrustmaster. ;-)

me too especially for me as a "keyboard pilot" .. keeping the plane straight with 0 degree nose was the hardest thing as i keep pitching it up and down .. and i always assumed that hotas pilots has that ability .. but with this video it turns out that they dont 😁 and that's makes me a little relieved 😉

I'll see what I can do, and I'll carefully already apologize for forgetting about it in advance. Please do send me a reminder on forums though if it takes too long, I'll try to remember. Just very busy with wrapping up the remaining campaigns currently.

Thank you. General instrument scanning applies. Your two main instruments here are AOA indicator and indexer, then altimeter and VVI, airspeed and mach indicator, VDI and radalt. Which one I am scanning more? The one that needs most correction/ attention at that time. Hope that helps! - please dont forget to read the video description, I recorded it in a rush and made some (verbal) mistakes, which are all listed there. Happy landings!

@@104thironmike4 thanks just two questions #1 where is the trim on the F14? Do you have to adjust once you jettison tanks or use missiles? Thanks

@@ronaldwatson1951 Don't know where the trim is in the cockpit. Most people just reassign the default trim keybindings to a button/or hat switch on the hotas.

@@Kaneguy thanks, I'm a Rookie and long time gamer from days gone by. I have a learning curve ahead of me, I truly appreciate your candor and response.

Same here, I was tokyo drifting around the runway everytime confused as all hell.

@@eyydri i did a 360

That's the reason I'm here too. I'm always in the grass.

and I can confirm it works really well ;)

well in a case one you want to combine leveling and trim up plus speed decrease to get it done in time, but the principal stays the same :-)

I knew you would. Did you recognize the little chalk lake we swam in, in the mountains? I made a couple extra passes there for you guys. Even the spot where we went into the water on its shore is visible. Incredible.

also, a concorde was announced for FS20 :-)

GOD I see so many people with your PFP ahhhhhhhhhh. Unless it’s just you on a ton of vids 😂

Glad it helped!

unfortunately that is a very sad reality, but it has nothing to do with this sim or the video :-)

which version are you flying? if you fly the SP version from the carrier, you need to make sure that you fly over your fixed point.

@@104thironmike4 Ya I had the same issue. I got the first dialog then orbited for 2.5 hours. Finally went back to the FP cus I was board and the ambush trigged. I must have done 15 loops trying to find the convory by the burning tank. By this time it was pitch black and couldnt ID any smoke with night vision on. Endurance on the F14 is amazing

@@spacemannich6107 If you like endurance, try the mission Training Day :-)

It's a hardcore flight simulator. Yes, every aspect of the jet is controlled by the pilot.

it's in the works, caucasus first and then for persian gulf

Thank you, I would love to do more tutorials, but time is always an issue for us. Work on the Tomcat needs to go on, too.. ;-) I will try though in the future, in the meantime I can recommend Maverick, Jabbers, Redkite and others, who all do stellar tutorials (among others).

yes, sorry, it was just a quick one take vid to help a guy in the forums, it is in the description though.

Thanks. Unfortunately I have very little time of doing videos, but I will do it when I have the time. Keep at it, the tight turns are alright, it just needs practice turning level or turning at a wanted decent rate. The gates are maybe too generous if anything, the put you a bit far on the groove atm. We're currently reviewing it.

I can’t finish that tutorial at all. I always end up shaking and end up in the water. I can not figure out what I’m doing wrong.

virpil, warthog, x55 and logitech extreme 3d pro (the latter 3 for testing). this was flown with the x55

Try trimming it for level flight to achieve "on speed" first before using it in landing. It is easiest to get used to it like that first ;-)

My pleasure and thank you for your kind words. Making videos due to the work on the Tomcat is simply a time issue. But I will try. I can highly recommend all tutorials from our media partners, like Jabbers, my brother from another mother, 104th_Maverick, Ralfi, Redkite, Spiceman from CVW-11, Spudknocker, Hellreign, Magz and others. As for speedbrake: yes. I forgot to mention it. It should be deployed fully during any landing boat or land at all times.

yes, with cross checks from the VVI

@@104thironmike4 cpy thx

@@104thironmike4 are you using the one on the landing HUD or the analog gauge?

@@Bazzz000 Both. Our HUD is maybe a bit more reliable than it was in real life, because of that I am relaxing a bit, mainly keeping the HUD VVI tape on the left side in sight and taking cross checks from the analogue gauge. If I fly by charts and certain standard approaches, I also check for my altitude, as the altimeter is the precisest instrument out of these. But for this you need to know at what point you should hit what altitude approximately. In absence of this, you would use another calculation, that is the 300 feet per nautical mile decend, but that is for another video...

so als ob früher nicht jede 2te missi aufm server von mir gewesen wäre :-P

Damals vorm Krieg ? :D

als du noch zu klein warst. :-D ansonsten hätten dir ja auch die events auffallen können, in denen du mitgeflogen bist XD

ist übrigens auch kein generelles tutorial, nur ne kleine demo für jemand in der addicts group, der probleme hatte die smerch zum feuern zu bringen.
