    This was helpful as I am a dedicated Tomcat pilot in msfs and getting used to the controls of the successor to the Tomcat was a challenge because of how modernized the Hornet is in comparison. Next time I get on to practice with this I will refer to this video to learn the systems better. I flew a short flight to an air base in Dayton Ohio (Wright-Patterson AFB) from Toledo Express and was able to do it all manually for that short flight but I want to see what it can do in a long flight from WPAFB to Dublin Ireland.

      @@gusramage the F14 has auto flaps because of its sweep wing design, once you hit about 400kts the flaps level out. It’s to help keep the plane stable as it’s really really heavy and needs assistance in generating lift at lower speeds.

      @@gusramage no problem, I have total time 20 hours flight time in a Tomcat out of 60 total. I usually do short flights and have done 2 continental flights in it. The A model has glove vanes that open at high speeds so make sure when you do your preflight setup you flip that switch. It’s located next to the landing gear lever and parking brake lever. You’ll thank me for the extra stability later, the B however doesn’t have that because when they redesigned it for that version they welded those shut and adjusted some small things on the fuselage to make it more stable in closed form. If you’re ever unsure what to do on the right panel where your light controls are there’s a panel box that has all the alerts that you’ll need to be aware of while flying. Take the extra time to learn the plane while stationary, it isn’t a race and practice makes perfect, if you’re curious what the switches do while airborne wait till you are at 45,000-50,000ft and auto pilot and heading holds are set as well as your speed locked in place and then you can start flipping stuff to see what they do. I’d recommend one switch at a time as if you flip too many you’ll flat spin and be unable to recover from it. I have done purposeful icing of the engines and purposeful flat spins to practice recoveries but save that for when you are more comfortable with it. Also DC designs has a manual available as well as a few video tutorials on Yt to help with your getting to know the Big Cat. I spent 5 real hours in the cockpit studying every switch and what they do so I know the plane like the back of my hand now. Happy flying!

    With the altitude hold modes, you can increase or decrease the desired altitude with Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown for an automatic ascent/descent.
    I haven't found an easy way to change desired heading (HSEL): the little switch which changes it below the lower left display is very slow, and the plane doesn't seem to respond to the relevant hotkeys (Ctrl+Insert, Ctrl+Delete).

      This sounds like a bug to me - as far as I’m aware there’s no way to manually configure fuel flow. Happy to be corrected but given the “attention to detail” Asobo have paid to this plane as a whole, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just broken.

    • @TiJayFLY
      @TiJayFLY  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Minimum approach speed with flaps in this seems to be 160, it just falls out of the sky below that (as it doesn’t have a spoiler). I haven’t had an issue with brakes - make sure your controls are setup so the brakes are constantly being applied when you hold down the button, not toggling on/off. Also make sure your auto throttle is off and your throttle is idle when touching down.

    This is probably a silly question, as I'm relatively new.

    • @TiJayFLY
      @TiJayFLY  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Like any aircraft, it depends on your descent rate. If you’re straight and level with flaps/gear down and AT set to 150 (or AT off and throttle at idle), it’ll decelerate quickly. If you’re nose down at -1500fpm, it’ll struggle.

      Make sure both engines are on and there isn’t some kind of asymmetric thrust issue. Gear should go up as soon as you hit the hot key as you climb out… Banking to the left could also be caused by incorrect waypoint selection or speed too high to follow the plan - make sure your selected waypoint is ahead of you, for example after takeoff you need to select waypoint 1 not waypoint zero, and that your speed is reasonable for your plane to intercept it.

      F18 in the real world has an afterburner fuel curve in the control box so it's not detents but a secondary area in the throttle. once you put the throttle past MIL into the A/B detent range, you are at minimum afterburner. the A/B then gradually lights more as you move the throttle to max. it should respond smoothly from min to max A/B at all times. its pretty awesome at night watching the burner cone move back and forth from the min to max settings.
