EXTREME Dead Stick No Fuel Carrier Landing Skill Competition - Sep 2022 | DCS WORLD 

Damn CAP that first landing was some serious skill. Bad ass.

*** @ CAP/GR Skill Idea. 2 Carriers 2 groups of players. 1st to complete a launch and Recover wins. - Like a round Robin.

Oh god. The mid-air refueling version of this is gonna be chaos. I’m excited to see how that plays out.

I love the fact that the guys are willing to try planes like the Mig and F5 😂

I'm surprised the pilot standing on the deck lasted as long as he did. He finally got run over by the Mirage at 30:50.

My dad used to take me up in his glider when I was young and I can confirm that even at relatively low speeds the roar of the wind past the cockpit is pretty loud.

I believe the hornets were flipping over because they are aerodynamically unstable and without the FCS to keep them stable they can get stuck in inverted flat spins and such. Using the recover switch won't work as that switch just lets controls go beyond what the FCS will allow and the FCS is already unpowered.

Fun fact. I was in the Air Guard as a power production guy. Part of our AFSC is aircraft arresting barriers. When I was deployed to a country that shall not be named, an F-18 had an in flight emergency. Because it was loaded with bombs the pilot had two options...hook our barrier or eject near his carrier. I wasn't on the barrier crew most of the time but had trained a bit with them. My buddy and I were refueling generators around the airfield when the call came in. We both witnessed the F-18 "catching" the cable and running out to a stop. The pilot said to us later that at first he thought he missed the cable. Air Force barriers are much more gentle. He had a 1000 foot runout as opposed to a 100 foot runout on a carrier. One cool night in 4 months of boredom and drudgery.

Great fun to watch! Hmmm now I'm curious to see GR do a helicopter landing skill challenge where you have to autorotate a helicopter onto a carrier or smaller ship...

Please do a B-25 DOOLITTLE RAID if it is possible...

GR Skill Competitions rock!!!👍👍 No fuel, whaatttt?!?!?😕 Dead Stick Carrier Landings!?!?!?!😮 Are these lads mad??? Nay, I say they crazy!!!!... Or just slightly drunk...🤣🤣 I can just imagine it... GR pilots dropping in as they line up the approach with engines roaring...Oh yeah, no fuel so no engine roaring.... hmmm....and no warning lights or messages, because no fuel...sooo what can I look forward to???? 😕 Oh yeah, there will be crash, right...but no fires, because no fuel...😏 But crashes are a time-honored GR tradition, so... Go Crashes...😁👍👍

I knew Cap would stick the landing. He's always reliable like that.

CAPPY!!! When can we see some Reliant Robin Dog fighting??? Lol

There's a technique for losing altitude. It's called crossing the controls. You apply opposite aileron and rudder and side slip while keeping the nose down and keeping lined up on the extended runway (or carrier landing deck) centreline. Don't overspeed the flaps - in fact with flaps out you fly to the very end of the white arc on the ASI. Depending, sometimes the flaps are left up in an engine out situation until a landing is assured. BTW, doing big 'S's' as you were doing on approach to lose altitude is an actual technique that is taught. Also prop planes when they have an engine out you put the pitch control into full feather as a windmilling prop is very bad for drag. Some single engine prop planes may not have a fully feathering prop so retard the lever to full coarse pitch. Many constant speed props go to full feather automatically by means of counterweights on the prop blades to reduce pilot workload in emergencies but some don't. That's why you see many turboprop powered aircraft parked on the apron with the blades in full feather. Typically you'd know your rate of descent at best glide speed and if you spawned at say 12,000ft over the carrier you'd fly a pattern that took you away from the carrier as if you were flying a normal circuit and approach. So say you lose 2000ft/min @180kt you have 6min flight time. Maintaininging strictly 180KIAS, you'd fly say 1 minute left, 90secs downwind, 1 minute cross wind and 90 seconds final and have 1 minute or 1000ft up your sleeve to configure flaps and landing gear. Of course you need to make allowances for the turns so you'd turn say 10-15 seconds earlier than the numbers mentioned for each of the legs.

@Grim Reapers it's great to see you fooling around again. But.... where's the Canyon Runs? CANYON RUNSSSSS!!!!!

Given the difficulty I'd like to see this with a 20 knot headwind which sounds fair enough and should help with the final flare and chute for those that have it

lol at Cap's hangover voice....

Is there a 747 attempt?

Good skills, Cap. Would an entertaining variation on this Dead-stick no-fuel scenario be to see who can eject and land the pilot on the deck while the airframe splashes clear away and causes no damage to the carrier? - In increasing winds On the principle that the carrier air boss would be under instruction to not risk damage to the flight deck or risk harming the crew And just for fun, lets assume the waters are so shark-infested that SAR would not reach a swimming pilot in time, before being eaten by sharks. If you like, you can say that the sharks are equipped with frikkin' lasers an ting. (Or have you already tried this?)

Had no idea Barbosa from Trilogy Media, was a Grim Reaper!

With the crosswind, vector in against the direction of it, & aiming for the arresting cables, & then just before you come close to the stern, turn in line with the carrier deck, level the wings & pounce on the cables.

F-86 Sabre VS A-10 Thunderbolt II Mosquito VS Pucara F-111 Aardvark VS MIG-27K F4U Corsair VS A-1 Skyraider F-1 Mirage VS Panavia Tornado P-47 Thunderbolt VS SU-25 Frogfoot J-7 VS MIG-21 J-10 VS SU-27 MIG-28 VS MIG-29 Super Tucano VS MIG-15 F-16I Sufa VS F-15STOL/MTD Fox2 Dogfight! Please fly Planes on the left!🙏 However feel free to swap in some😁✌

The multi-player desync made the MIG-21 landing look very interesting 🤣

I think this might be what the concept of 'zen' is all about. I'm having a really good think about something right now, have been doing so for nearly an hour. and while I have that think..... I am simultaneously 100% engaged and entertained by this video, I know exactly whats going on; but it hadn't crossed my mind one... until just then, when the dog came over for some fuss. I shall attempt to explain this to people, but I don't think I'll get many converts.

Try ejecting and landing your person on the carrier, closest to the pin (island) wins.

Watching all those planes approaching the same carrier simultaneously was quite a sight, even in a simulator.

20:50 Goodbye LSOs. 😂

Suggestion: DEADSTICK DOGFIGHTING! Spawn in 30,000 ft above an airfield. 1 pt for surviving longest, 3pts for the kill, 2 bonus pts for landing it.

Seems like the trick to this is to pop gear as late as possible and aim beyond the end of the carrier. Since you're coming in at stall speed instead of full throttle, you can just dip right before the aft of the carrier and trade any overshoot for airspeed.

On paper, round 2, is very doable. The problem is most people were still lining up on radial like they had engines to crab down the glideslope with, just needed to move the "radial" 2-300m to the left and let the crosswind push you onto the glideslope. That and it *isn't* on paper lmao

I think you should get to continue on if you eject and manage to land on Carrier

You CAN rip your arrestor hook off in an F-14 in DCS... guess how I know :/

Guys, don't change a thing. Do this sort of "sh one t" for the next 20 years. Awesome!

Okay, if not already, this inspires me to a game that I will call Jet Curling. I will leave that to your collective imaginations 😁

oh the joy. many smiles.

nothing wrong with a few BARLEY POPS...lol

Harrier has an undercarriage blowdown bottle initiated by an explosive cartridge. Once hyds go he won’t be able to put the gear down as the game doesn’t have it modelled. It also uses flying control accumulators which only give it a few inputs from the stick before he’ll lose all pressure. As far as i know a windmilling engine won’t give him hydraulics but I maybe wrong. Most aircraft have a blowdown Doyle for the gear which is a 1 shot emergency system.

In essence, this is the Sarajevo approach, but to an aircraft carrier ; without the fundamental aircraft capacity, and ultra short/trap landings!

That was awesome, as a patreon please don't give this up! Be there soon, lol

Love the dead body left on the runway lol

A bit relevant but not too much, I drove from Scotland to the NEC the year IL2 Pacific fighter came out 400 years ago (it wasn't released at the time) for an erm PC/Gaming show. There was a ubisoft? booth with IL2 Pacific fighters (beta) with a joystick and throttle with a single land on the carrier approach mission available to test. I watched 6 people take forever to fail (they got 3 tries each). I took the stick, stuffed it into the carrier, 2nd attempt landed, won £70 worth (at the time) of MS FS maps and crap that I never used ever, was awesome but not as good as this vid, lol

So there was a winner after all. The Mig-21 of all things! :D

Harrier hen, good at getting to roost😂

My understanding is in the event of flame out you get high speed to spend the APU to restart the main engines so I guess in the event of no fuel the Apu would still Spin and generate electricity and hydraulics. I remember watching a story about the SR-71 from an SR-71 pilot who said they sucked the mock cone inside the engines and they both flamed out when they hit lock 5.3 or whatever the max +.2mach.

Dude on the deck at 30:45 got absolutely obliterated by the incoming mirage

lmao, what a circus. Everyone talking at the same time.

i love stuff and things

What a first landing Cap ...🙌🏻

The sea flanker is like a kite when it's clean and I can only assume an empty one is lighter than anything

This works totally be my jam if I played.

haven't reached the end.. but i wonder if a harrier could retain speed, go below the deck on approach, balloon up & almost stall onto the deck.... un-neccessary for most planes, but..

This was awesome. Def need more of this

hey cap, so i was thinking the other day about how flying wing design planes would be affected by cross winds.

I can explain why it sounds like the piston engines are still running after they're off - this is actually accurate for a windmilling piston engine, because it isn't the combustion event that makes most of the engine noise, it's actually the mechanisms within the engine(valve train, timing gear, etc.) and some of it is airflow through the engine(including getting compressed and decompressing out the exhaust). At first it sounds a little ridiculous - but think about how damned loud piston air compressors are! Same thing. Look up 'spintron' videos on YT to hear a V8 turned at full RPM while not running; they basically take an engine, remove the fuel & ignition components, hook a high HP electric motor to the crankshaft, and spin it over at whatever RPM they want(like full running engine RPM, over 10,000 even). They're used for valve train development, typically in very high RPM race engines. For instance, there was project a few years ago called 'project spinal tap'(YT it to hear it on a dyno) to develop an LS7 to turn over 11,000RPM(pushrods and all lol). Most of the development time spent trying different cams & springs on a spintron, it's pretty hardcore stuff lol.

On that first try Cap, you needed a RAT (Ram Air Turbine) to power the controls.

I want u in the Wonneproppen ! :D

You could use your gear to slow you down? Some drag in the spin

corbahli needs to learn to roll and pull like everybody else. negative pitch rates and relaxed stability don't mix except in an inverted super stall. reaching for the moon is only gonna plant your face among the junipers.

MVP goes to that mig you say that was nightmare?

I wouldnt have thought it possible to even land on a carrier that was being a jerk going 0 knots and not driving upwind

Planes do fly a lot better with engines.

Nice Video!

31:00 speed 2 physics.

You should have just done it with engines on, but the throttle pulled back to idle. That way you have gauges and a HUD, but no thrust. Well done regardless. God save the King!

Denys Davydov confirmed that Norway will send 160 hellfire units to Ukraine, would we be able to see those on a war games mission?

That looks fun!

Why not do 67 people landing on one Aircraft carrier, particularly the Forrestal?

Are you guys going to do an Honor Flight for Her Late Majesty?

WOW super cool!!

What no dead stick carrier landing in a SR-71??? Lol

Would be great to see French carrier group versus UK carrier group. Rafale v f35

I really don't think this is the first one where there are no winners.

When did Bane become a member of GR? lol

How in the world does he have that many friends that also play dcs

🤣🤣🤣 this is way too funny

Too many cooks.

Crosswind!? How lazy is the Carrier?

Who is who in the photo?

Is dead stick anything like Thai stick?

I seriously don't understand how people can hear over other people. All of you love talking over each other.

Woo Hoo 1st

My girlfriend makes my tummy stick a dead stick 🥴
