DCS 2020 | HARRIER EASY CARRIER LANDING [TUTORIAL] 

Music is everything!

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

Glad it helped! Enjoy the Harrier, it's a great plane to learn. :)

@@CommanderSteinsch im a recent subscriber and have a question related to the control indicator thats red in the bottom left corner of the screen thats brought up with right control and enter could u tell me what all the lines and everything represent or direct me to where i can find that info ive looked around but couldnt find anything

@@lucaswoods1155 the main cross represents your pitch and roll axis. The horizontal line at the bottom is your rudder axis, and the vertical line at the left is your throttle axis.

Jacobruxo thanks man was struggling to find this info

Glad it helped!

Thanks! Hopefully you'll join the dark side and play DCS!

@@CommanderSteinsch I’m hoping to buy a pc next year and when u do I knew I was going to download it first because I’ve been watching a lot of videos on it

Excellent ! Learning DCS is such a rewarding experience. I'm sure you'll like it.

@@CommanderSteinsch thanks, I’ve heard it takes weeks but it really is a great payoff, can’t wait

Thanks Admiral! Who knew DCS was actually a driving school?

It's easy when you know the checkpoints and practice a few hours to get the hang of it. Don't give up! :)

Haha, thanks! Can't say it's easy, but with practice it has become more manageable. It's a perishable skill though. 😄

Thanks! Now have fun landing the whale 😄

Awesome, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

I can't imagine myself maintaining level flight by managing nozzles constantly, that requires skills. Well done! ;) However, the manual instructs to set the nozzles to hover stop position out of the groove. That's one less thing you need to worry about while approaching the boat.

My pleasure!

You are welcome!

You can do it! :)

@@CommanderSteinsch Thanks man!

Thanks! But sorry, i don't remember the weather settings. That was pre 2.7 😄

Thanks 👍 I I usually don't, but I may trim click once or twice if I feel it's necessary.

This video was of course made especially for you!🤣

Razbam adjusted the flight model some time ago, so if you're coming too heavy, you're gonna run into big problems. Make sure your landing weight is well within parameters and don't forget to activate the h2o.

Big thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Not always easy to make a tutorial entertaining! ;)

Practice makes perfect! I'm just flying the flight manual numbers. Thousands of test flying hours resulted in these manuals, and DCS is rather high fidelity, so this works pretty well ;)

I would guess that you'd adjust nozzle angle to point slightly forward?

Set the nozzles to 90 degrees and apply power without water

Yes, I needed to reverse while manoeuvring on the Tarawa yesterday and remembered your comment! Nozzles fully extended at 98 degrees will push a heavy Harrier backwards! Thank you for all the tips, been practicing my landings using your video and getting better every time! Now I crash on the deck instead of the water!!! :D

@@alecisla Alright, so it's an old message, but I'll still leave this here in case someone inexperienced comes and takes that advice : If you reverse, do NOT try to use your brakes (same thing with the viggen actually) put your nozzles back and gently add power to stop your momentum, otherwise you'll just slam your tail on to the runway

Good tip!

Yes, it was mostly the NATOPS.

No visual mods, but some post light production effects.

Keep at it! You'll get there eventually!

What goes wrong when you get to the crossing stage?

@@CommanderSteinsch the aircraft does not want to move... If I roll to far it will want to yaw. And when I counter with rudder, once I release the rudder it wants to yaw back the other direction. It is a handful. I can land pretty reliably with a rear approach. But it that side slip that is hard for me.

When you start crossing, don't roll too much. Keep counteracting with tiny but steady rudder then decrease pressure on them smoothly.

Also, as you roll, you're losing a bit of lift, so increase power accordingly

@@CommanderSteinsch it doesn't help that sometimes on the server I play most of the time the deck has a 6-10kts cross wind.. which is a load of fun.

Exactly how I felt when I first heard it. Pushed myself out of the comfort zone and voilà!

Nozzles to max angle

@@CommanderSteinsch thanks

Haha! Yes indeed, I was counting on it.
