USN Carrier Pattern Video
Sludge:
Spaz...
Thanks. Actually, the first video is more to show how I switch from VC to 2D HUD view, so that everyone understands that point. Its a big deal in FSX carrier landings for me to do that every single time. Yeah, I floated getting to centerline, but that was just my first pass and I had come thru the 45 early so my lineup was off. Also, though, the sim was setup using the TopGunSim missions, and since I cant alter carrier speed, I had alot of headwind to make up the difference for Wind-over-Deck.
JR...
Thanks, I know you can do this level of landing. Ive seen your stick skills. Yes, I did have alot of direct headwind in this setup. However, even in Orion's mission, my HUD sight picture looks like this as well, since the carrier's total Wind-over-Deck component is also in the 34+ knot range. Its actually supposed to be "w" at 5 deg nose up/velocity vector at 3 deg down w/minor changes to keep meatball centered.
Oh BTW, I forgot to tell you, about a month or two ago I get this "facebook friend suggests you join Top Gun Anniversary Group" email from Adam. Yeah, thanks little man... haha. Remember, "Madadog" Aussie Adam... he who only eats pizzas that his parents bring him?! hehe.

Sludge,
Great videos, am looking forward to more in the future!
Wanted to share this video I just saw, one of the best real world videos I've seen in a long time of a T-45 doing carrier ops.

Looks scary, especially with the rough seas below, nothing like in the sim ::)
