    Ran some circuits & carrier practice with friends today. This is amazing for a free mod! Great plane for formation flying. Set 20 on all my curves.
    As far as I know the NWS is a hold for hi gain, carrier ops. If you're not holding it down it's way less sensitive.
    Thanks for the procedures, great stuff as always.

      Thanks Dan!
      Yeah, it’s above and beyond for a free project. Puts more than a few payware products to shame ha. I’ve been having great fun with it. Were you guys flying shared cockpit? If so, how did you get on there? Haven’t has a chance to try that myself yet.
      I suspect you’re right re the NWS hold. If I recall though, initially I was getting almost zero steering authority without it pressed (and no indication on the caution panel) my memory may have failed me on that though. I didn’t use it on the straights, but the aircraft still felt very sensitive.
      Glad you enjoyed the vid. Happy 3-wire landings! ; )

    Multicrew works as well. Excellent for training. Thanks for the review. I really like this jet. I took it river racing at Poti on the Caucasus map. Rules are you must stay below tree top level as much as possible and between the river banks or get disqualified. Great fun in a prop plane, and almost doable in a jet. :) Thanks again!

    Thanks for the quick review! Been eagerly awaiting this one for years now. The payware C-101 is excellent, but since it doesn't have a tailhook or modern avionics, my heart's never really been in it. This one, though, helps live the dream :)
    p.s.: for carrier aircraft, there's never a flare at landing, even for shore ops. Trim it stable to the middle of the E-bracket/AoA donut and fly it straight down to the deck. Approved landing sink rate on Hornet is upwards of -800 fpm! Reason for the no-flare is to keep the tailhook angled correctly to catch a wire, etc.

      Thanks; I know they don't flare onto the carrier, I didn't realise it was the same for a shore landing. Even if I had known, I'm not sure I would have been able to help myself. . . : P

      I tried finding some older pics of the Goshawk; looks like the panel was broadly similar (unsurprisingly) to the Hawk originally? Always preferred the look of a good steam gauge panel myself.

    When you jump into an aircraft in DCS, you know the fidelity is going to be there. When they release 2.7 as full, I will probably spend more time (again) in the superb mission planner! IMHO comparing MSFS military aircraft with these, leaves one a certain winner...and we know which one!;)

    • @HarryVoyager
      @HarryVoyager 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I see DCS, MSFS, and Il-2 Great Battles as complementary. Each let you do different things, that the other two don't have.
      MSFS's big strength is you can do VFR navigation globally, and in many different weather conditions, while still keeping good system modeling.
      So, the MSFS T-45 let's you go through basic flight, navigation, and aircraft operation, then you can go to the DCS version and work on more of the USN operations and carrier landings.
      I'm likely going to do something similar with one of the MSFS warbirds as well. It's also interesting/wierd to track down the old WWII runways (or even the WWI Aerodromes) in modern days. One of the ones I used a lot in the Kuban map is just a marsh now, with power lines running over it.

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations
      @IntotheBlueSimulations  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed David, DCS is the clear winner when it comes to military aircraft. Then again, it is it’s “raison d’etre” haha. Generally speaking though, DCS definitely has some of the best flight modelling in the business. I think in fairness to MSFS developers, they obviously don’t have the tools and the platform available to them, that DCS developer et al do. The mission editor is excellent as well as you say! I’ve tried my hand at creating a campaign on a couple of occasions, but never quite had the endurance to see it through ha. . .
      Well, when 2.7 goes live (properly), enjoy! (I’m sure you will).
      All the best! : )

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations
      @IntotheBlueSimulations  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly Harry, each sim really has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Of course it would be great if one sim had everything (as I find it never feels quite the same being in a T45, Spitfire etc in one sim vs another), but we’re still lucky to have all these great platforms! We are rather in a golden age of flight simulation at the moment it seems.
      That’s an interesting idea actually; exploring locations in various sims and seeing how they’ve changed over the years. As a UK flyer, you can certainly see the history of WWII on the landscape everywhere you go. Lots of airfields decommissioned now of course (and ever more continue to be so sadly), but you generally can’t fail to recognise their permanent mark on the landscape.

    It's a nice plane but I don't understand the decision to make a twin seat trainer for DCS? Real world makes sense because of cost and training, but I feel as though VNAO would of been better off making something like the Hawk 208 single seat aircraft. It could do everything this plane does but also ground attack.

      Generally, I find DCS flight models to be in the top tier of any addon for any sim. Relative to the addons in MSFS so far, DCS' are far and away better/more realistic. The devs for MSFS are still getting up to speed on it's complex (and unfinished) aero model, so we'll see the gap start to close over time.

      Generally speaking, the DCS is superior. Actually, the modules are form of art. Every plane truly feels unique and while they are incredibly hard planes to model generally (ww2 era piston planes, helicopters, supersonic jets etc) they seem to work very well, have mass, inertia and "feel". Good controller is a must, but so is in MSFS. And flying in DCS is MUCH more fun than in MSFS currently.

Obviously going to be mainly training as no war loads are carried by the jet, as IRL. I'd expect to see someone like RudelCh porting some of his C-101 navigation missions over forthwith.
      Also, this module was specifically developed by a virtual squadron for training, and will undoubtedly be instantly in the training pipeline for many others. If you're looking for stuff to do, I'd send inquiries there for sure.
      If you search google for cnatra pats pubs, there's a TON of public information on how IRL Naval Aviators use the T-45, T-44 and T-6 in their training. All those books are more about the practical exercises, so you can run them just as well with the T-45 mod (speeds, etc. will obviously be a bit higher).

      It’s great, places different types of carriers all over the world. The only downside is, no working catapult or arrestor gear - you’ll need a payware app for the carriers to fully function (the HDS carrier module or Kinetic Assistant).
