Scimitar entering the racetrack pattern for the Vic C1960

Nice Screen

That is one Scimitar I do have, the 1960s Vic is a little more detailed than the Ark, later on I'll get the drivable version for a MP.

I just downloaded the viking, and having some fun with her... only thing is i cant work out how to adjust hdg and crs on the hsi. Any pointers would be appreciated...

2D panel?

by **johnkiwi** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 12:24 pm

Good thought, but either it doesnt have one or i got a corrupted download. Everything else sems to work, and i can select the crs, hdg or alt on the pushbutton selector but cant alter them...

EDIT stop looking, i found it... the D buttons on the selector panel... right back into it!

Don't forget to post screenshots

Surely John you have your screenie problem fixed..... the Viking

Be a goodie to add to Carrier Madness

I actually managed to get a screenie a few days ago... my first! Now i need to run through how to resize and upload them, will check out the relevant post maybe tonight.
Yeah, with a bit of practice i might get on a carrier with the viking, only 25% success rate so far, with 596 landings to go...

That is good news you got the screenies working , first time out appears a little daunting ... think its just getting the correct code but after that , just like falling off a log

... If you need a hand just give us call or better still, hook into NZFF Team Speak.

Some screens from this mornings sortie into the Bay of Biscay. After leaving Guz yesterday morning, Vic steamed into the Western Approaches and then SW en-route to Gibraltar.

Entering the race track for landing

Got a bit low on the glide slope and only just managed to catch it

Still a little low but getting better

Probably going to get reamed out by the LSO...

Wow! Stunning shots, 2,3 & 4 are all equally nice. Maybe one day i will get to see the green lights on flare

by **chopper_nut** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 5:18 pm

Cheers for that. Are you using the RFN TACAN gauge?

by **Ian Warren** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 5:19 pm

Great ! another couple of types to see yet ... SUPER to see Carrier Op's rejuvenated

by **chopper_nut** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 5:24 pm

The flying stations mod makes it fun for me. I reckon its better than AI Carriers, more difficult to use but it's more realistic.

by **Ian Warren** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 5:47 pm

Your going to be well practice in the art off landing on fishing boats

I downloaded it but haven't installed as yet, still trying visually, might have yonlook into that when i get a spare evening. It has to be installed in every aircraft .cfg file right?

It's a bit difficult to use the mirror until you're quite close to the ship. The gauge gives you the needles from as far away as you want. I fly the needles up until about half a mile and then I'm on the mirror. Also good if you fly away from the ship as it gives you direction, ship heading and distance. It has to be installed into every panel.cfg. Pretty easy once you've done a couple.

The AI carriers are restricted , you modify some cfgs , I guess it depends on experience simply doing eyeball landing for the starters.
