Yeah, but that's not bad. I like the sludge Hornet and I like the standard F/A-18. And I also don't need weapons and firing them, I'm into flying.

About difficulties to go back on a different aircraft, I do fly a lot X-PLANE helicopter lately and it can't be more different. Compared to X-PLANE chopper landing on a carrier is a walk in the park.

What I do, at least once every session, no matter if X-PLANE or something else, I make at least one carrier landing with Hornet/Superhornet. This way I don't loose the feeling for fighter jets.

Back to the video, Spaz was asking about specs.

sun444, thanks for the computer setup info. I'm guessing FRAPS is OK? in Win7pro 64bit? I have just got that but have not got around to trying FRAPS so far. As an aside I have just had my main 1TB Seagate drive go bad so I may be away from this forum for a bit getting that sorted. Yeah the Seagate tool said my drive did not need firmware fixing (over one year ago when this problem was prevalent) but maybe it did after all. Bah Humbug.   >:(

FRAPS is okay if you use it on recorded data (like replay with FSrecorder and taping it with FRAPS). In this case FSX doesn't have to do much calculations since the data are coming from a file.
FRAPS does cut on the framerate quite a bit if You tape it while you're flying but You'll see it by yourself.

Hope you're not away for a long time,

I know You doubt my skills of carrier landing. Just in case, I master perfect landings, please check my vid

Holy overweight trapping! If you shed some of those 2000 pounders and 800 pound missiles, you won't destroy the gear on trapping. Just a thought after seeing the main and front gear dig a trench into the deck. :)

Sorry, You don't know! Maybe You should ask before You post.

The weight was just below the max for carrier landing, this way it's much more difficult to land.
