Sucotash:
Thanks for that.

Sludge:
'Nother great time at the Multi...  Did several tutorials for some of the flyers w/HUD control switch actions, TACAN usage around the boat, required carrier calls, and general flying tips.  Also, had a good tag-along session w/Orion shadowing me doing ATC Tulsa (KTUL) in the Multi. afterwards.  He got a real kick from an Okie redneck flying a P51 AT NIGHT, who had no idea how to operate in an ATC environment.  Overall a great weekend of virtual flying and ATC.  And I know Don got a couple more videos up and running.  Again, great work on the vids, Don!  You and JR can put together some hella videos.

BTW, I talked with Orion and we will work to get everyone the "Sludge Hornet" this week as best we can.  Orion already has it in a sendable package (w/required gauges and effects) and we will try to find a way to make an installer, available to everyone with the popular "skins" (paint schemes).  So if you are interested, tell us what Hornet skins you want, and we will get those included.  Right now, we will do a plain white, the Jarhead bird (my fav, VMFA-314), the NASA bird (Orion's fav), the Navy bird.. and then probly 3-4 more, depending on requests.

The Sludge Hornet is the default Hornet I use, that we are making into the multiplayer template.  For those people that want a Hornet with higher engine realism, more realistic landing gear look and feel, manual flaps, darker engine smoke effects, hi-G wing vapor, the Sludge Hornet is for you.

Sucotash:
We're all getting better! I can't wait for the new Sludge-Bird!

Here's a link to the videos from Feb. 7th, 2010.

GOONIE:
In the video I hear you guys talking about a guage that indicates which wire was caught, speed, and AoA at touchdown. Can you tell me what is being used?

Hope to join the next session, anyone interested in a Sunday session as well?

It's a gauge that I modified from an original gauge by Skippy Bing. Unfortunately I can't point where you can download Skippy's gauge, and I can't publish my gauge, because it's pretty much the same as Skippy's. I think Orion has found a download link for Skippy's gauge. It shows you which wire you trapped (1,2,3 or 4), what was you speed, angle of attack and vsi at the moment you touch down. It provides a pretty useful feedback for your landings. The only difference between my gauge and Skippy's is that mine takes a smaller part of the screen and is transparent. I'll try to contact Skippy and see if there is a more efficient way to distribute it.
