I'm a huge fan of Top Gun Maverick. I discovered VTOL VR after the movie came out and immediately went to fly some of the top gun missions on the workshop. Overall, I was really underwhelmed with their accuracy to the movie and just the quality of the missions overall. Over a year later, I set out to find the best top gun maverick mission. I played dozens of them and they all fell short. Either it took like 20 minutes to do the canyon run, the canyon looked really ugly with blank sheer cliffs, or the mission just straight up didn't work. Ultimately, I decided to make my own mission which would be aesthetically pleasing, accurate to the timing of the mission in the movie, and provide a challenge while being reasonable.
In this mission, you have a 2 and a half minute canyon run while staying below 400ft, followed by a bunker which takes 2 laser-guided bombs to destroy, followed by a mountain range of IR missile launchers which provide a fire rate similar to that in the movie, followed by an engagement with two 5th gen fighters (ASF-58s) and a carrier landing to complete. I spent a lot of time on the aesthetics of the canyon to give a realistic feel. It works in single player and multiplayer, with both single and two-seater jets so you can fly the mission with your friends just like the movie. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be done solo or with others.

    I updated the map for my Top Gun Maverick mission. Now, the crater isn't a giant cylinder! It's flatter with a slight downslope and feels very natural. The mission is a little easier now, because it's slightly easier to hit the bunker and much easier to exit the crater with decent speed, which improves your chances of surviving coffin corner.

    What I do with dumb bombs is get 10000 of air gap between me and the target. CCIP to auto release. Auto pilot on, set fix air speed, set fixed altitude, grab the heading knob, and twist it onto target, when close hold in the fire button and let the ccip drop when on target. This will put a 500lb bomb through a open tank hatch.

      To a point, sure. You still want to have your velocity vector on the carrier, but this helps you ensure your approach angle is correct. Even if your velocity vector is on the carrier, you don’t want to be coming in too steep or shallow.

    180 seems awfully fast for a landing. That said, nice to see someone using the 'point and power' technique! All this AOA business is over complicating something that is pretty simple.

      @Darkmouse20001 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Now I have it installed and I've done some testing. 150kts (possibly lower 150 still strikes me as fast) the auto throttle makes it incredibly easy, just set SPD 150. Put your velocity vector jobber half way down the ship. AoA is for noobs, point and power all the way.

Yes, in theory pitch controls speed and power controls rate of descent, but not on the approach - point the nose (or VV pipper) where you want to go and use power to make the speed right (or the SPD function/auto throttle of the AFCS, as you can't trim in VTOL VR).

    So should I jam the missile with DRFM or high band noise?

    • @darkstar1592
      @darkstar1592 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In my experience, you can't really jam missiles to avoid them. The best strategy is to DRFM the source to break the radar lock. This works really well against ground radars and fighters using the AIM-7, which need to keep radar lock until the missile reaches the target. If it's an air-to-air missile with it's own internal radar, like the AIM-120, there's not much you can do once it activates it's internal radar because you're too close to jam it effectively. Your only hope is to DRFM jam the enemy fighter before the missile activates its radar and hope you break lock and move away from the missile's path quickly enough to avoid it.
