I keep my velocity vector inside the AOA bracket, no need to maintain fixed ~130 kts, the speed may vary depending on gross weight. While closing I put my flight path indicator (velocity vector) on the tower - in order to follow the 5° shifted flight deck that is moving.ģ. If using the ILS, I follow it initially to properly line up, but when closing to the carrier I ignore it.Ģ. when you do the approach, do you pull the stick all the time or just a little for adjustment or not?Īnything? when I successfully landed most of time I usually ended at the 1st wire with unsafe grade (feature from seven-g) or landed before the wire and magically caught the wire (jane's, fsx's), in case of fsx I often crashed due to the too fast vertical velocity which was weird lol I guess it's just bad flight model and physics. or you just ignore the ILS and follow your instinct?Ĥ. what about the speed? how much is the recommended?ģ.

How to correctly do carrier landing in modern naval jet?ġ.

those usually happened when I flew near 130 knots jet landed short of from where the HUD velocity indicator pointedģ. yet when I saw youtube videos with people flying in real jet or other military/home grade sim they could match the ILS with seemingly little problem.ġ. Hi guys, I can't seem to do this properly, whether it's in Jane's F-18 or FSX or an old Seven-G demo the main problem is that whenever I tried to match the ILS HUD indicator my jet usually ended up in a very low altitude approach and often crashed the carrier or/and also high nose pitch up, too much drag I think.
