While that landing vid was nice- the rate of decent was WAY too high and the speed was high also. Very hard landing tho the approach did look uber nice and everything.
O yea also in real life the pilot would be able to see the carrier deck a lot earlier

I've tested my mission and it works for others. Try connecting directly to the host via IP address.
I haven't tried putting people on the deck (or getting the LSO guy to shout as you suggested at FSDevelopers a long time ago :P). I suppose I could try, it's just some object placement, right? I just need some people models to place in that case :P.

I've tried hosting the mission in both MP and LAN and it stops after 30s.

In regards to the ILS, try clicking on the "ILS" button located on your Up Front Panel. From there enter in the ILS freq. (111.55) and hit "ENT". After you have complete this, go to your right MFD that has your HSI shown and select the button next to ILS (TCN is highlighted by default). This should bring your needles up on your HUD. Please keep in mind that you will not be able to receive the ILS information if you are on the deck or in front of the carrier. The needles usually appear shortly after the "abeam" position in the carrier pattern. Hope this helps.

I pushed ILS on UFC and then 111.55 and enter on UFC and it switches back to OF52.

Good catch. You are correct, the rate of decent was high due to the fact that the carrier is stationary and the was no wind (we were testing the ILS). The speed was slightly high, but remember, the pilot flys the proper AOA, not a speed. You're shooting for 8.1 (+/- 1.0) degrees, so the plane was actually on speed most of the time (however the jet had full fuel tanks and was heavy). As for the pilot seeing the deck... you maybe correct, however IF the LSO sees the plane before decision height, that is good enough. The landing light on the jet is much brighter than the lights of the landing area. So when the weather is like that, the LSO usually sees the jet before the pilot sees the runway. This is where the "paddles contact" call comes into play. If the pilot gets to 270 ft and hears paddles contact, he can continue with LSO guidance. Therefore there maybe situations where the pilot never sees the deck until he hits it. How bout that for a rush? :o

microbrewst, thanks for that explanation.
Q: What would be an approximate maximum carrier landing weight for the Hornet please? TIA.

I stopped work on a "How to Deck Land a Hornet" when the 'very excellent' video about the same topic was made available recently. However sometime soon I'll put online a very large and very general version of this "How to Deck Land" PDF which will include the Skyhawk, Goshawk and Hornet etc.
