This is seriously one of the most brilliant Case 1 landings I have seen on TH-cam, can't tell you how many times I've watched/studied this. One thing that blows my mind is how the heck do you get on speed and trimmed out so fast after completing the initial 180 break back towards the carrier?! You get dialed in so quickly and so precisely! Is there heavy use of DLC, or is that purely from trimming and managing throttle? I always run into the issue with struggling to keep the nose from taking a huge dive and losing too much altitude after completing the turn and trying to get on speed. Never quite sure when to get back on the throttle and how much to give. You do it flawlessly man, so many things happening in such a short window of time! Truly impressive! Cheers!
I found this tutorial informative and easy to listen to. The humor caused me to chuckle in places! I think a perfect combination of info and fun. Thanks for creating it!.
Gotta love all the info the reapers put out, just frustrating how you can't get through a video without finding 3 mistakes pointed out in the comments. Doesn't help that half the videos are shot in early access either.
You seriously need to upload more content. After your Harrier landing tutorial, you're my favourite "instructor" in DCS. We NEED more content from you! :)
Ewen McGregor stars in this gritty drama about a young Scottish heroin addict who becomes a naval aviator. With Robert Carlyle as Meg Ryan and Rab C Nesbitt as Goose....
Wow, your tutorials help a lot! Much better than other tutorials (looking at you Grim Reapers) I still only catch 4-Wires, but hey Jester and I are still alive
In the fleet out on deployment or doing work-ups with the CvBG, most of the time there will be a guard ship stationed 1000yds directly aft which in addition to being there to pick up anyone who goes in the drink is also there for a quick indexing while landing. You should be coming out of the 90 just forward of the duty guard and is especially useful while doing quals.
6:40 That very important wing sweep as you pass the ship...... the chic on the deck might see it........ man that is hilarious :) I've just begun to trial the F-14 once again; your talent as an instructor is huge. One of my favorite documentaries of all time is "Speed and Angels" (available now on TH-cam), about the last two US Navy pilots trained to fly the F-14........ as I'm following your tutorials I appreciate even more the challenges those pilots faced.
You just helped another newbie learn to Case I. Brilliant video tutorial. Easy to understand if you know how to fly the Cat even with rookie skills. I'll be sure to share this with people who want to learn right away!
Bruhhh you make that look so damn easy and after starting dcs this weekend past I know it is gonna take a lot of practice to get to that point but this video helps TREMENDOUSLY! Thanks Mav! Keep up the good flying!
“In case there’s a woman on board..” Me: where is he going with this? “We want to make sure we look as cool as possible, like cool volleyball players.” Me: ohhhhh nice xD good one lol
Great video, I appreciate it! Getting in speed in the downwind is the sticking point for me. Feel like I trim too much nose up and end up floating to too high an altitude, need more practice I guess
I think this is the best Case I recovery tutorial on here. I used to do these over and over with the F-14 mod (F-15 cockpit) a couple years ago, ready to jump back into DCS for the Cat. I was an 80's kid, this module is a dream
You can also see the DLC popped up in the mirrors, no need to give your neck a cramp. I give them a quick flick up and down to make sure they're operating properly while checking the top mirror myself. Great vid!
one of the carrier checklist landing that is missing is to turn autoskid off because in many cases it is on, beautiful video, i think im good enough already after 3400h of DCS but i always learn, i always have this habit landing to early and catch the first or second wire, i feel my landings are good controlled , centered and safe, but it is a habit that i need to change....dam i keep doing these "perfect " landings, always on speed but i have this tendency to touch down some feet earlier.
Question: You are not using auto throttle in this video correct? Also, on the final turn towards the back of the carrier how do you keep your onspeed AOA so perfect? Are you primarily managing throttle, or constantly trimming as well to keep the E bracket centered? Much use of DLC? My issue is that right at the last second when I level out from the turn just as I'm about to reach the deck my AOA goes totally out of whack. Do you have a recommendation in terms of keeping it simple / focusing on just certain control elements and leaving others alone? I think I might be messing with too many things and making it overly complicated. But at the same time, every adjustment with the Tomcat then requires re-adjustment of some other area. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much! Still the absolute best Case-1 vid in the Tomcat on TH-cam, hands down!
Nice landings! I remember watching your F-18 case 1's. Looks like all that Hornet time has really helped, these landings look a lot better than your initial Hornet attempts :)
Perfect, Awesome, amazing, informative and TO THE POINT! Great job! Liked and subscribed. I hope there are some volleyball loving hotties on the carrier next time I sweep my wings and do a perfect CASE I thanks to you!
I swear to fucking neptune my AOA never stays the same, I'm gonna trim it, then 5 seconds later it goes off trim, there's gotta be seagulls playing with my tailerons or something
Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that shortly after making this comment, I have indeed mastered the F-14 at landing, and it's never been a problem since, I even get 3 wires! It's doable guys, you really just gotta tame her that's all, or maybe she tames you..
Cheers. It’s great having these guides ready for launch. I’m probably still going to spend the first few hours, threading her in between Dubai’s skyscrapers though 🤣🤣🤣
This is my first module purchase on DCS since I’ve always been interested in it but I didn’t really feel like emptying my wallet but since the F-14 has always been my all time favorite plane, I had to get it and since I’ve never flown properly in DCS I’m super bad, although I did get my first carrier landing last night (albeit super rough) I’m pretty hyped for getting good at the f-14 over the next few days/weeks
id love to see the input visualization (the ctrl+enter one). Id be nice to get a rough idea for how much power/roll/rudder is used, it'd def help me land
Love your video. I tried exactly how you described it and ended up head butting the ship more often than not. Keep your awesome work up. I will improve
You make this look easy and I feel completely incapable-Meg laughs at me every time and Joker is constantly telling me to tell his wife and kids he loves them. ughh.
Awesome freaking video. Just landed my first F14 on the carrier but came in way to hot and low. LSO marked me for no proper communicaiton also. Now I know.
Just FYI IRL if you rested your hands on the throttles while engaged it would only take 5lbs of pressure to disengage them. It was actually a check we did often for auto throttles so resting your hands on them was probably not a good idea.
Try flying this pattern at altitude like 5800 ft with 5000ft being the deck a couple times. Should help with trimming and pattern checkpoints before smacking into the water
Serval question maverick 1 how do you maintain on speed whilst the rpm is around 90%, for at 90% rpm the aircraft would accelerate for which would rise the E bracket over over 10 AoA making it unreachable , for me is usually 85%~86%rpm 2how do you ensure stable banking and on speed while the aircraft is in 120 knots extreme low speed, and still having steady glide slope 3 the dlc is highly disruptive to aoa and on speed, but in you video, there is no such sign 4 in manual, dlc are designed to control sink rate without using throttle, did you use both throttle and dlc on on final approach? If is, how do you still ensure sinking while having an 90% high rpm? if you don’t mind, please consider remake a video that could show your stick movement as well as the mirror to help us learn about your control. you have so far the BEST carrier landing in TH-cam
Funny thing is I got better when I realise the pitch ladder isn't the same as the hornet. In my practice I forced it to a -3 glide slope and accident happen. This pitch ladder thing is very confusing when there isn't any tutorial for it.
Mav, this is a great video. I'm working on my traps now, trying to get more proficient at them. The main issue I'm having is throttle control. I want to get good with manual throttles befor letting AUTO take over. The only thing I want to see in videos like this is a repeater for your input, so guys like me who can't quite get positions right can see where you are putting the controls at certain moments. I'm loving the 'Cat, she really needs finesse and I'm working still on calming down my inputs. I suppose the smarter thing to do would be to try landing on solid ground first >_>
@@104thMaverick That would be great! I got my first couple 3 wires today but I went way outside NATOPS and started on the groove more like 1.2nm out instead to give myself more time to get the bird where I wanted it to be. I can get everything else sorted, but in the final 90s I tend to get swallowed up chasing the E bracket and trying to balance engine power with DLC and everything else.
You make it look so easy. I find the tomcat very difficult to control when on speed. What curve do you use? X52 @25% all axis is not working so hot for me lol
- How do you set the course line (boat direction)? - So you just move the stick slightly up down left right in auto mode? I have to try that... - Except looking good and impressing the girls on deck, why manual and 68 degrees wings?
-There's a course knob on the HSD frame -Basically what we shouldn't do in the Hornet... :D -It adds drag while pulling AoA and you want to slow down in the break
Great instructions and a positive approach to your direction. It's my intentions in the near future to be proficient with the Tomcat, it would really help me if you could give me a recommendation on the computer size or proper graphic card, RAM ect. Looking forward to more instructional video. Good video
My specs are listed in the description if you want to take a peek sir. RAM wise I highly suggest at least 32GB if you can stretch to it, DCS can be very RAM intensive and having only 16GB can be a slight handicap in certain servers or missions.
I know this video is old, but it's really great to watch someone do this and have them slowly explaining things out at first and speed it up as the procedure goes on. A lot of the stuff for this procedure just barely made sense because in most cases it doesn't seem like you should have a speedbrake for landing, rely so much on weird flaps and stuff to land but seeing it in motion it makes much more sense. I know this video is old, but I do have a question. Do you possibly know why the procedure asks for wings swept back so far on the approach? Wouldn't it make more logical sense to have the wings forward for lift and to slow down? I don't know, just has always seemed odd.
Damn I cannot land the cat on the carrier when I do the pattern. I think I can get set up pretty well after the break but always botch the final turn and totally miss the glideslope. The landing usually ends with crashing into the back of the boat or a bolter. Way harder than the hornet IMO, you made it look so easy
Also set ILS on HUD and VDI, so you have both needles for the correct approach and glide slope. Without ILS set the carrier heading minus 9 degrees, so you have the exact heading for the angled deck

Serval question maverick
1 how do you maintain on speed whilst the rpm is around 90%, for at 90% rpm the aircraft would accelerate for which would rise the E bracket over over 10 AoA making it unreachable , for me is usually 85%~86%rpm
2how do you ensure stable banking and on speed while the aircraft is in 120 knots extreme low speed, and still having steady glide slope
3 the dlc is highly disruptive to aoa and on speed, but in you video, there is no such sign
4 in manual, dlc are designed to control sink rate without using throttle, did you use both throttle and dlc on on final approach? If is, how do you still ensure sinking while having an 90% high rpm?
if you don’t mind, please consider remake a video that could show your stick movement as well as the mirror to help us learn about your control. you have so far the BEST carrier landing in TH-cam
Top notch! Great work. Now do it in zero visibility.
Funny thing is I got better when I realise the pitch ladder isn't the same as the hornet. In my practice I forced it to a -3 glide slope and accident happen. This pitch ladder thing is very confusing when there isn't any tutorial for it.
Yes, perplexing isn’t it. Definitely takes some getting used too 🫣
You guys always make it look so easy...
Mav, this is a great video. I'm working on my traps now, trying to get more proficient at them. The main issue I'm having is throttle control. I want to get good with manual throttles befor letting AUTO take over. The only thing I want to see in videos like this is a repeater for your input, so guys like me who can't quite get positions right can see where you are putting the controls at certain moments.
I'm loving the 'Cat, she really needs finesse and I'm working still on calming down my inputs.
I suppose the smarter thing to do would be to try landing on solid ground first >_>
I'll do some Live Stream CASE I sessions mate on twitch with the controls showing soon. Hopefully that will help out.

The wing swept back was purely aesthetic mate, they simply did this because it looks cooler 😆

Can I blame the stick? Because i could never dream of having my cat so smooth and so well trimmed. 2 wire galore.

Great video, thank you for this. Bookmarked for tomorrow :)
Geez you make this stuff look easy....
Och, I feel the need, the need for speed, aye the noo.
[edit] great vid, great channel. thanks for making these mate
Savage job, bro!
Speed down!!! Left left!!! Speed up!!! Right right!!!
Damn I cannot land the cat on the carrier when I do the pattern. I think I can get set up pretty well after the break but always botch the final turn and totally miss the glideslope. The landing usually ends with crashing into the back of the boat or a bolter. Way harder than the hornet IMO, you made it look so easy
Just realized I wasn't putting my hook down. I thought hook bypass kept it up and it lowered automatically with the gear lmfao
Also set ILS on HUD and VDI, so you have both needles for the correct approach and glide slope. Without ILS set the carrier heading minus 9 degrees, so you have the exact heading for the angled deck
Very well done! If you redo this tutorial could you please add your control input indicator?
please add the control window with your next one. It will help a lot to see what you do with the controls
Perfect landing...👍👍👍
