S! guys, let me know if youre interested in the mission i used for this video. it's all stock stuff, just a repainted carrier texture. i made the mission myself, and have been told its one of the more difficult carrier missions out there by a couple of CFS2 carrier gods. im good on carrier landings, but this took me about 20 landing attempts to get right.

WoW! You are a pretty good carrier pilot. Those are pretty rough conditions to land on a carrier. Good job!

pretty cool, now can ya do it with a guy 20 ft away on ur 6? formation lands are amazing to see

i enjoy long walks on the beach, yummie thai food, and obliterating my enemy's aircraft around them with a hail of bullets from 12 .50s. and/or a 75mm cannon.

moo, let me know one of these days when you want to try the formation landing. i dont use ventrillo, but im sure both of us are good enough to keep from trading paint. only change to mission requirements, i think would be that one of us would have to have brakes set.

im definitely up for the challenge though Cheesy

if youve ever done the CFS1 Ark Royal "mission" ( from RAF 662), we had to land 3 times with the camel, 3 with the FW190, and 3 with the P-47 without crashing. it took me almost 6 hours, lol but i did it. this carrier is cake compared to that one...i think?

well, ive been out of the CFS2 loop for a minute, so i dont know what realityX is. i also dont think auto mixture is an issue for low level stuff. (carrier ops)... i dont necessarily like no fun rules all the time, because of the simple fact that A: a pixel, a speck of dirt on your monitor, could be anything...not necessarily an aircraft. granted sound helps that, but you may not necessarily know if that might just be scenery with a palm tree unrendered, and from a distance, might be floating in midair.

zooming isnt QUITE, im my opinion, totally legit for one reason...the scouts typically used binoculars, not the fighters...

and offically, coming from a real WWII pilot (RAF_Yank), the "100% hard" flight model is in fact 100% crap. its nowhere near realistic, and im sure if there are any real pilots here who have flown CFS2 at 100%, theyll agree...the flight characteristics are just not right in 100%.

i know CFS2 is lacking in a lot of things, (like flaps that add LIFT-- ONLY on the P-38 ), but there are a lot of things within the game "out of the box" that can be realistic. 95% medium with automix off as an option is about as close as it gets to real. (i *only* use flaps to kill air speed on approach.)

stiz, after reading some of your info on carrier ops, i must say, with all due respect, you never turn your engine off on the carrier for one reason...someones bound to screw up and run into you. they respawn, and head straight for the water. same reason you dont fold wings; also, as comfortable as i feel doing blue water ops, the downwind to base (third turn) is way too short. no pilot, including Maverick, would try an approach like that, even in a T-6...there are a few other things, but i dont wanna nitpick.

edit: after watching the video, the approach looks far less extreme than the pics show. its still a little harsh, but more believable. my apologies. Embarrassed

thinks its based on a proper WW2 carrier manual but i spose all the crews would have tweaked it to what suited them

, and i'd agree with you on the 3rd turn, i tend to go a little furthur down and make it one shallow turn. Had a look at your site and thought that 1000-2000ft is a bit high/far, we aint flying jets after all Grin

RealityX is basicly a little progy type thingi that adds "out of the box" damage to your plane, say you treat your engine harshly, after to much damage it'll die on you, it also means you cant have people doing a 9G turn cos it'll blow you up once you pass the stress limit for your a/c Cheesy

Cheesy

I tend to fly at 90% realism, flight model on medium, unlimited fuel and ammo unchecked, auto mixture unchecked.

I never turn my engine off on the carrier for that reason and i only fold my wings when taking screen shots

hmmm!!! i was figuring you were like the dudes on the zone that thought ONLY 100% was dead on

i do the unlimited ammo thing too, usually, but some people say thats cheating. if its an FFA...its totally legit. would like to fly with ya one day. let me know if you have an idea for a carrier mission, ill set somethng up with a few challenges
