my buddy was an airframer for F/A 18s on a carrier and said whenever the pilots landed harder than within that e-bracket, they had to do a mandatory inspection of the landing system

Not sure why nobody has mentioned this. You landed on the area (white centerline arrows) before the displaced threshold, a big no no. That area is weaker than the runway itself and will take damage (in the real world) if you land on it. You can takeoff from that area though, it gives you extra room to get up to speed. Otherwise a good tutorial.

I’m a commercial pilot and this helped immensely for this game 😂

Maybe cause this is an old revision, but military thrust is designated by the small line across your control display throttle axis, you don't appear to be near that, which is confirmed that you aim for 95% thrust? 100% is military, once you go to burner, rpm stays at 100% but the fuel flow obviously increases a great deal. Also, the runway has touchdown markers on, perfect aim points, and flap settings is also important, half flap take off (never Auto), and there is no such thing as "neutral" flaps. Love ALL your videos, just this could do with a refresh, I guess you rushed it as it's not one of the core items to learn, but actually (and I speak from experience), it can all go wrong in this crazy beast, especially for new pilots joining the sim. Keep up the good work Cap...cheers

Nice landing, but it is a nice touch to flare a bit at the last moment. And again: You don't need to look anywhere for the trim - just hit the Take Off trim button (in front of the throttles - or bind it to a key).

Need help. I cant lower my landing gears anymore. when ever I push G or landing gear down button on my HOTAS. A POKIE Machine appears on the left screen. and it dosent lower it. What do I do? can I turn that off somehow?

[luissowhat]

How do I know if my HUD is caged or uncaged? When I press the key C or programmed button on my stick, nothing happens and my HUD keep moving.

[luissowhat]

@Grim Reapers  ok. Thank you. Now I am having trouble with the e bracket. The fucker keeps escaping me. So I have to keep using my trim. I tried using my thrust, but the velocity vector doesn't catch it. How do people keep it centered? Like still lose control with just using my throttle

[lucaslerch]

Heyaaaa SuperCAP! Since you can see the N2 (?) Percentage on your EFI, did you adjust your "seat position down or back a bit? And if yes, do you do it every flight or os there a possibility to save that? I can't seem to find a position where the HUD is where it should be and I can see the EFI and the zoom is good for me.

Very helpful video, thanks. Is it possible to bring up that information bar at 7:00 while you're flying, or is it only available in replay?

[DRPTV]

Flaring is still mandatory for F18 airfield landings in most cases they only reason they might not do it is because of weight or to not forget how to do carrier landings

[yourlunch]

heya cap, i would like to ask you a question. how do i see my distance from the runway when starting the first left turn on the downwind leg? thanks!

[Dinnye]

I fly one of these for a living. With that being said, the most impressive part is when it stops in the air. I know we have wonderful AoA capabilities, but this is off the chart. (referring to the pause, for those without any sense of humour).

Also, every F18 landing is a controlled crash (you don't actually have a lot of room to fuck around on a flight deck, or you'll find out pretty soon) - so you really should land AFTER the threshold. You'll fuck up the airfield. And then the local lead controller will find you, and show you that the AMRAAM of consequences rarely comes with lube.

For a weird reason i hold the brakes, go to military power then full afterburner and releas. But it accelerates very slowly and when i take off i cant gain speed. Pls help

[natebisque]

what controllers/ joysticks/ pedals do u use?

[Gfsverse]

i go through all of the TO checklist and check the FCS page and set my trim and spool up to 95% but the f18 still doesnt lift off the run way even at 170 knots (yes ik the take off speed is less than that) please help me

[cedrictaylor]

You flare on base runways because on a ship flight decks dose give where concert wont and cause landing gear damage and early wear and tear

[fox_fpv]

Hey, great Vid, but there remains one Question: What does "pumping the wheel brakes" mean?
Thanks :)

[Jerbear]

i cant get the pitch trim to work. i can roll using trim, using the the same HOTAS as you and the same key mapping, but the pitch trim wont work and makes a proper landing impossible for me. it will roll using the hat switch but wont do anything at all trying to pitch up or down

[homermorisson]

Proper Navy/Figher Pilot lingo n00b here, so could anyone enlighten me on the topic of TO w/ Military power vs AFT?
I mean, the gamer in me thinks "Why the hell WOULDN'T you use AFT, it's SO COOL".... but what would a properly educated fighter pilot say to that?

Is it really just the (to me) obvious thing about possibly wanting to conserve fuel?
Is it about noise limitations, though I can hardly imagine such a thing to exist on military airbases?

Or are there some deeper issues at play that I just don't know about?

And of course: super helpful videos, and even super interesting just to watch per sé, well done!
