Before you ask ... no i cant .... i did try , but that deck is sooo short and the aircraft is huge I'll keep at it .... but in the mean time I'm happy just passing by

Nice shots don't be shy the carrier is just like landing on a runway only shorter. Tips and tricks 1st make sure you have the landing weight otherwise you'll never have the right approach speed it'll be to high a speed. Next AoA the aim is to have a green donut on the left of the Hud so use trim and throttle changes to adjust speed/AoA for approach. Hook, Gear, Full Flaps(Shift F)

Upon landing you can fold wings if there is other aircraft inbound and then park up or move to the ramp push U and take off again.(U positions you on the ramp all you do is full flaps (Shift F) and then full afterburner and it will launch).

And up it goes.

Compared to FSX you don't have vLSO which is quite handy and teaches the pilot how to get the approach right but DCS has yet to have a meatball so the approach is more by seat of the pants stuff. It does have though ILS and something else lol autopilot which in the SU33s case = Auto land.

So 1 goto instant action SU33 recovery
2 g gear, Shift F flaps
3 Alt G for Hook
4 push 1 twice to get ILS mode
5 push A and there you have it, it'll land itself. For the noob like me take note of the height and AoA on approach and distance and then at some point have a crack at landing. You can hit A to turn auto pilot off and do the landing bit yourself for practice.





BTW I discovered autoland quite by mistake, one day I happened to bother using autopilot and noticed the plane start the approach by itself which is very handy. To late for all those Airwolves Squadron missions where I crashed the SU33 lol.

wow ... great reply SUB ...Cheers

With that have a go using autoland and see the result.
