    that was bloody brilliant, thanks a lot for that description. That's finally a good one.

    There is about a half sec delay on throttle inputs also, so if you add throttle as soon as the indicator starts to rise you want to decrease throttle a hair to counter it. It's the same with AAR.

    I love the Hornets slow speed handling. The easiest plane to land.....

    Great video. I struggle with the AoA all the time... Very bad when trying on a carrier...

    Thanks very much for this video. I am fairly sh!te at all aspects of DCS but I do love it and so I'll keep trying until I can get it at least 'competent'. I fear my likelihood of being invited to Top Gun is as high as a snakes belly but nonetheless, I can now, at least, fly the correct AoA for the Hornet. Thanks a lot. All the best, Dave

    Thansk i can land any plane , anywhere except the f18 on MOM . Boy oh boy I struggle, 8/10 breaking the landing gear and missing the cable. Will try the trim potato approach.

    Very good. I do similar but I don't drop the gear until 250 knts, half flaps at about 220, full at 200

    • @Raptic556
      @Raptic556 Год назад +1

      Gear + Full flaps is max speed 250

      @@Raptic556 Yep. I wait for more speed to bleed off before deploying flaps because the aircraft doesn't balloon as much at lower speeds when the flaps come down

    I just started flying the F18. So far in DCS I am mostly flying the F15C &E, The Viper and just started the F22. I have been prepping to do carrier landing so I am trying to tighten up with better control of Speed and AOA. One vid a guy was flying it at 130 knots. I tried but in no way could do that. I see that I settle in at the very same speeds as you do for the most part. I'm going to watch this one a few more times because I am still having to use quite a bit of pitch control. Thank you.

    • @Feintgames
      @Feintgames 4 месяца назад

      Pitch, in this situation, will change your airspeed, not your altitude. So if you're coming in too high, pull back to lower your airspeed and increase your rate of descent. If you're too low, push forward on the stick to gain airspeed and reduce your rate of descent. At least, I think that's how it works.

    @brandonchappell1535 Год назад +4

    The EASIEST way is just enable ATC when you slow to 140, couple bumps of up trim doesnt hurt either... Gear speed in the hornet is 250 FYI

      @officialusmanqureshi 2 месяца назад

      in slow flight
      stick movements inverted
      - pull up to descend
      - push down to climb
      altitude controlled by throttle
      controls become sluggish
      attitude to target speed, trim for speed, control altitude with throttle
