FSX T-45C Goshawk Carrier Landing near San Francisco [HD]

[derskateboarder]

that is the nice video i love it what is the name of the musik?

[degigi2003]

@derskateboarder Thanks, the song is "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' the Tears.

[ThiyanaDesign]

This is online ?

[degigi2003]

@ThiyanaDesign Yes, you can do this online in multiplayer with your friends :)

[mamainiero]

Hey so i downloaded the goshawk, but when i tried to switch the HUDS, mine just went blank... Could u post up a note or video of how to do it properly?

[degigi2003]

@mamainiero Hi, check the first link in the description of the video - you can download the new T-45C by Dino, which included the HUD already installed. You don't need anything else.

[clubpenguin197]

is this mulitplayer

[srinac]

Case 2 totally missed wire 4... but its still a cool vid

just saying

[Wambatkilla]

If i download the plane in the desc do i need any other of those links for the plane to look like how it did in this video (including virtual cockpit)

[degigi2003]

@Wambatkilla Hi, there is a newer version of the aircraft, that looks many times better than the one in the video and you don't need to download anything else. Google "T-45C Goshawk Package V2.10" and download from the first link (Simviation). It was released one month ago by the same author (Dino Cattaneo). You can watch my video "New Dino T-45C Carrier Ops (extended)" to see the new version :)

[Wambatkilla]

@degigi2003 Thanks man, for the quick reply im subbing and going to check out your video, thanks

[zszs100]

@degigi2003 Hi where do i find the carrier?

[degigi2003]

@zszs100 Hi, you can use the carrier from the Carrier Practice mission - you can change the weather, time of day, winds etc. and then Save the flight. Then anytime you want to fly around the carrier, you can just start the saved flight. You can even save yourself approaching the carrier.

[MegaAmarchana123]

nice landing where did u get the plane ?

[degigi2003]

@MegaAmarchana123 thanks :) Check the Dino Cattaneo blog for the latest version of the T-45C. It is freeware and much improved from the version in this video.

[SuperDalefan88]

@degigi2003 tht looks like a f-4 phantom

[Semaj448]

Nice flying. What carrier package is this? is it just an update for the AI carriers 2, or is it payware? Thanks.

[degigi2003]

@Semaj448 Hi, this is just Javier's Nimitz carrier, it is a free download (link is in the description).

[Semaj448]

@degigi2003 Great, thanks alot : )



[SilverS21995]

@degigi2003 man the cross does not appears on my hud(f-18,f-14,t-45).what happened.plzzz help(+subscribe)!

[degigi2003]

@SilverS21995 Hi, the ILS will not appear automatically. You need to tune the NAV radio to the carrier frequency. There are detailed instructions in the readme file. Try one of the Shift+1..2..3 combinations and see if you have the Cessna Radio Stack. Then you just enter 112.00 MHz for the NAV1 frequency. You should immediately see the distance to the carrier in the lower right of the HUD (e.g. 1.5 TCN means 1.5 n.miles). Once you get behind the carrier, you will see the ILS needles :)

[SuperIjoker]

@degigi2003 How did you get that view @ 1:46? Nice vid BTW!

[degigi2003]

@SuperIjoker Thanks! This is the PLAT view that is available in Orion Lyau's Multiplayer Nimitz mission. You also need the PLAT gauge that overlays the cross-hairs on the PLAT view, it can be downloaded from the last link in the description.

[coolthegr8]

dose the catapul of this carrier works

for take off

[degigi2003]

@coolthegr8 Yes, everything is fully functional.

[coolthegr8]

dose the catapul of this carrier works

[coolthegr8]

how is your graphics so cool did downloaded any software for it if downloaded then also tell me plz i really need it

[degigi2003]

@coolthegr8 No, nothing special. This is just bare Flight Simulator X on Intel Core 2 Duo @3.4GHz.

[Deltakingsix]

Very Cool. Nice job pilot.

[guydood123]

It looks like you are able to run FSX prety smoothly and with nice looking graphics. Im thinking of building a Gaming PC soon and i wanted to know what your computer specs were.

[degigi2003]

@guydood123 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @3.80Ghz; nVidia GeForce 9800GTX+; 4GB RAM. I bought it 2 years ago, but I am still happy with it :).

[towben1412]

is this in multiplayer???

[towben1412]

Is this in multiplayer?

[talon155]

I am using the SF 2.5 Multiplayer mission (for the PLAT view) and the FS Recorder, however, I am unable to record a video similar to yours. After I record the first flight, it will not let me play as traffic in multiplayer during the second flight. If I replay as traffic in single player, then I cannot see the aircraft carrier. How did you run this so that you were able to fly with the first plane and use the multiplayer carrier views (PLAT, tower, etc…)? Thanks

[PaperModelPlaneLover]

Really cool video, you have great editing skills, but I have never seen an aircraft land on a carrier without flaps.

[degigi2003]

@PaperModelPlaneLover Thanks, I landed without flaps on purpose. In this particular flight model of the T-45, with flaps deployed the approach speed becomes unrealistically low - about 110 kts, rather than the actual 120 kts for the real Goshawk. I also had to use the airbrakes to help incease the approach speed to the real number. Dino Cattaneo is making a new model of the T-45, with accurate flight dynamics, and it will land with flaps and no airbrakes at 115-120 kts.

[coolthegr8]

i tried but it didnt work

[coolthegr8]

how did u opend that long stick like thing at the back

[TheTomdom666]

@coolthegr8 shift-q to relese the hook :)

[parisTDR250]

how do you start a free flight on a carrier?please reply

[degigi2003]

@parisTDR250 You can't start a free flight on a carrier. However, you have 3 options: 1) Use the Carrier Practice mission; 2) There are carriers cruising on a schedule, like the one that depart from San Diego at 6:00 am, you can land on it in free flight; 3) Use a utility program called AICarriers2 - it allows you to place a carrier anywhere you want in free flight.

[parisTDR250]

@degigi2003 thanks for the information.the carrier depart from the port of San Diego right??

[degigi2003]

@parisTDR250 This is the procedure: 1) In display settings-> traffic move the slider "Ships and ferries" all the way to the right (100%). 2) Click FREE FLIGHT, choose July 1st, 2009 for date and 06:00 local time. Select North Island NAS (KNZY) for airport and runway 29. You can save the flight at this point if you want. 3) Once you take off from the runway turn left on course 270 and climb to 600 feet. After 30 seconds you will see the carrier :)

[parisTDR250]

@degigi2003 i appreciate your help i just found the shio thank you fellow pilot

[barrhh84]

sweet vid



[ParaglidingManiac]

Can't wait for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator to come out.

[juandavidb]

Can you upload a cockpit landing. I find a bit hard to land combat aircraft so I want to know settings while approaching and landing. Thanks

[degigi2003]

@juandavidb Hi, you can watch my other two videos - "FSX Carrier Landing F/A-18 Hornet (Night)" and "FSX Clemenceau Carrier Landing" They are shot entirely from the cockpit. Also, if you have specific question, you can come by the "Unofficial F/A-18 Acceleration Pack board" - it is the best forum about carrier aviation :)

[idanrof22]

hey, i can't set the ILS frequency in the T-45, i press all controls but it doesnt change the freq', can somone give me a tutorial for the ILS set in T-45....? or just help...?

[degigi2003]

@idanrof22 You should use the Cessna Radio Stack gauge. I think you can call it up with one of the Shift+1-9 combinations. It is very easy to set the NAV1 frequency from there.

[idanrof22]

@degigi2003 dude, THX!

[hallo54521]

why did you use no flaps?????

[degigi2003]

@hallo54521 Because if I use flaps the approach speed becomes unrealistically low (below 110 kts). So I prefer to use a more realistic landing speed, but no flaps (and airbrakes).

[23bgm]

How did you record the video? Because I can´t use the aircraft carrier moving in fsrecorder.

[EAGLEEYE2431]

can you tell me how did you get the ils for the carrier because i have the t45c and the carrier however im not fsx accelaration and the hook doesnt hook at all i mean i can land on the carrier but i cant stop .can you help me .

great video .

[degigi2003]

@EAGLEEYE2431 I am using a special HUD, that you can also download for the T-45C. However, without Acceleration you will not be able to trap because the arresting wires are not implemented. Also you will not be able to catapult. You will not see the meatball (IFLOLS). I strongly recommend to get the Acceleration pack because it enables all carrier operations. For the HUD you need to go to the Simviation website and search for "Realistic F/A-18 HUD for Dino Cattaneo".

[SuperShori]

Fucking music always !!!

[artaza99]

does this work for deluxe edition

[degigi2003]

@artaza99 The carrier operations and the FA-18 are only available in the Acceleration Pack.

[f18hornet1001]

@degigi2003 your wrong. the carrier ops and fa18 are in lots of expansions including flight deck five.

[degigi2003]

@f18hornet1001 The Acceleration Pack is the most realistic simulation of carrier operations. The other alternatives are not as good. The combination of Microsoft Acceleration Pack + Acceleration F/A-18 + freeware Javier Fernandez USS Nimitz + freeware T-45 by Dino Cattaneto = the best naval aviation experience ever created, except for very expensive military only simulators. And a lot of real naval aviators will tell you that.

[tomcatdrivergypsy101]

@degigi2003 or get IRIS F-14 very good and also I agree with you!

[f18hornet1001]

@degigi2003 your wrong. the fa18 and carrier ops are in lots of expansions, including flight deck five.

[wuppie367]

respect dude!!!

[don021980]

guys, can sum1 tell me what my cmputer specs should be to play fsx

[USSNimitz96]

is this fs carrier or like this

[USSNimitz96]

is this FSCarrier2 or like this

[KTrainProductions10]

hey, kk so ive gotten better with addons now haah im quite addicted ive gotten like a good 5 planes in the last few hours haha, and i download a carrier like a working one... to land on and crap during free flight...

heres my problem, i dont know how to add it, like i do but not to what folders, and where to find it? can you please help me or make a tutorial thanks!:)

if it works for me later ill take a video and show you my landing ive gotten pretty good with the goshawk

[degigi2003]

@KTrainProductions10 If you got Javier Fernandez Nimitz carrier, it has instructions how to install, basically you need to put the "USS_NIMITZ" folder to "Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Boats" and this is it. The difficult part is to call it in free flight. For this you need to have a utility called AICarriers2. When you install this utility you can spawn a Nimitz carrier (or a default carrier) anywhere you want in free flight, make it move and land on it.

[KTrainProductions10]

@degigi2003 hey haha i figured it out... well i had the one i install to show up at san franciso int, well around that area and yeah it work perfectly, and i saw that feature on someone's video, i take its google Alcarriers2 and go from there and i should have no problems.

[KTrainProductions10]

hey question.... ive flown for a while... and im not to great with the add ons and w.e but can i fly on free flight and find a carrier to land on?? thanks.

[degigi2003]

@KTrainProductions10 Hi, this is how to find the carrier near San Diego:

1) In display settings-> traffic move the slider "Ships and ferries" all the way to the right (100%).

2) Click FREE FLIGHT, choose July 1st, 2009 for date and 06:00 local time. Select North Island NAS (KNZY) for airport and runway 29. You can save the flight at this point if you want.

3) Once you take off from the runway turn left on course 270 and climb to 600 feet. After 30 seconds you will see the carrier :)

[KTrainProductions10]

@degigi2003 You my friend... Are Awesome Thanks!!!:D I found one yesturday at Guam International hard to land on without the cables tho.

[XxCrf150RxX]

Kwl Vid man nice work :)

[superlukko]

how did you fly with you: the other plane?

[degigi2003]

@superlukko I used a utility program called FSRecorder. I record one flight, then replay it and record the second flight.

[MattB613]

good video but one question what kind of graphics card do you use?

[degigi2003]

@MattB613 It's nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+, but much more important for FSX is the CPU, not the video card - I have a Intel® Core™2 Duo @ 3.80Ghz. So you can take any video card below $100, but you need as fast a processor as possible, and the frequency is more important than the number of cores.

[MattB613]

@degigi2003 cool thanks, i didn't know that...

[reddishknight007]

@degigi2003 how much does that processor go for?

[degigi2003]

@reddishknight007 I think it should be below $200, but you have to check for best prices.

[kevrachel1]

@degigi2003 That's the best advice I have gotten so far!!! I thought the video card was the #1 issue as my graphics suck and I have to run at half settings to keep a 20 FPS. Thanks again brother.

[Coolk1004]

Thank you so much dude it helped alot

[Coolk1004]

thx but one more question i have ai carriers 2 for fsx not acceleration when ever i try to land with the any military aircraft the thing doesn't stop me so i fall of the carrier i have the tail hook down but it doesn't stop me. WHY!!!!

[degigi2003]

Because the arresting gear and catapults, are only introduced in the Acceleration pack. So you will see the carrier, as you see any other boat, but its catapult and wires will not work. There is a package that enables catapult and arresting gear without Acceleration, called Carrier Operation Package (google "Guide to aircraft carriers" ).

[Coolk1004]

hey how do you land on the carrier do you have to be in multiplayer

[degigi2003]

You can land in multiplayer if you use Orion Lyau's SF Carrier 2 mission, which features a moving carrier near San Francisco. But of course you can land in single flight (by using AICarriers2 utility or just on a default carrier on a schedule) or in the Carrier practice mission.

[reddishknight007]

@degigi2003 or both of the players or who ever is on can place the carrier on a point and have it travel to another point by starting it at the same time

[TheKevieee]

Is the Carrier an Add on??

If not when and where can I find this carrier..PlZ respond.

[degigi2003]

@TheKevieee Yes - it is USN Nimitz by Javier Fernandez - the download link is in the description below the video :)

[TheKevieee]

@degigi2003

After I download it, which FSX folder do I store it in ?

[degigi2003]

Yes, it was a foul deck - there should be at least 30 seconds between landings :)

[gnnasser]

nice video with good transitions. I was sirprised that no flaps used on landing!

gnnmagna

[degigi2003]

Thanks ! I didn't use flaps because in this particular version of the T-45 the approach speed with full flaps is very low - about 10-15 kts lower than the approach speed of the real T-45. Additionally I had to use speed-brakes to achieve a more realistic angle of attack. Dino Cattaneo is planning to release an update to his freeware T-45, which will have a more accurate flight model, improved avionics and more detailed virtual cockpit and exterior :)

[JonnyBgr]

I really enjoying your videos!

[pgshacker]

Nice video

Very Nice!!!!

I find that carrier?

[HaterzOwnYoAss]

5 stars, you put that on maximum settings lol?

[degigi2003]

Thanks! But really it is not running on max settings - for example cloud drawing distance and cloud density are at minimum, water effects is only high, autogen is on maximum over the land and there I get fps in the low 20s. Generally I get 30 fps with these settings and with FRAPS recording they get below 25. But I get pretty fast CPU - dual core at 3.8GHz.

[44rears]

i have to have Acceleration for those to work, right? cuz' i can go download Acceleration after. and also, would the AI USS Nimitz work in the WOAI installer? i don't know how to download AI traffic sadly. =( if it comes with its own installer, then never mind. ^^

[degigi2003]

The T-45 will work without Acceleration, except for HUD, MFDs, sound and carrier operations - for these it requires the Acceleration pack. For the Nimitz you can download a utility called AICarriers2 by Lamont Clark (just google it) - it allows you to place a carrier (including Nimitz) anywhere you like, in free flight.

[44rears]

where can i download the T-45?

[degigi2003]

Hi, I put the download link for the T-45 in the description to the right (click "more info").

[44rears]

ok thanks!!!

[RedBravo65]

Great vid and flying! I've always liked that little plane.

[degigi2003]

@RedBravo65 Thanks! Dino Cattaneo will soon update the T-45 to make it more accurate both visually and as flight model and handling.

[webzc]

OMG, amazing graphics. Nice flying too, 5/5

[pilotyamil97]

Can someone explain me more about the PLAT Cam Gauge?Please?

[degigi2003]

Hi, I put the download link for the PLAT camera gauge in the description to the right. The gauge requires Orion Lyau's new Multiplayer Nimitz mission, which has the PLAT camera view. The PLAT view from the mission combined with the gauge crosshairs creates the PLAT camera.

[kickZtailout]

Whats with the flaps up landing? Great video though, visually stunning!!! What are the specs on your computer?

[degigi2003]

With full flaps the approach speed for Dino's T-45 becomes very low - something like 105 kts. The real T-45 lands at about 115-125 kts. I wanted to have a more realistic approach speed, so I had to do it with flaps up. My PC is Intel Core 2 E8500 @ 3.8GHz, DDR 4 GB, nVidia 9800GTX+.

[igoiam]

I followed your link from FSX Multiplayer Fun to FSX T-45C Goshawk Carrier Landing near San Francisco. Very nice! I just want to say I enjoy your videography. The choice of music, timing of your cuts, visual details, continuity of movement... it all goes together very well. I hope to see more of your efforts. Thank you!

[JonisKanonis]

Foul deck, wave off!

Nice video!

[tf51d]

Looks like FSX misaligned the arrester cables, because it looks like you missed all 4 wires. Nice Video though,

[degigi2003]

I think the activation zones for the wires are a little wider, so even though it looks like the hook is missing the wire, you still trap. Of course if you miss the last wire by a wide margin, you will bolter. The carrier operations in the Acceleration pack are incredibly realistic, especially with Javier's Nimitz carrier. The flight model of the Acceleration Hornet is very accurate as well, and the VRS SuperBug tops that with its fly-by-wire system. All we need now is a pitching deck :)

[tf51d]

Looking at it again, you might have just nipped the 4th wire, but it is a really close call!!

[LiveAndLetDie222]

How do you land so damn well?

[degigi2003]

It really helps if you properly trim your aircraft for your approach speed so that you don't have to constantly pull back on the stick to keep the nose up. Also always use throttle when you want to change your descent rate in addition to the stick input. Other than that it's just practice :)

[scoobyfan2010]

Just awesome ... 5 out of 5.

[FightingFalc0n]

Can you do this for Dino's F-14 aswell, if you could, that would be really awsome.

Thanks

[degigi2003]

I am working on it, but I wanted to get some feedback how this one works, if there were any problems etc. If all is OK, I might upload the config files for Dino's Tomcat as well :)

[FightingFalc0n]

That would be awsome if you could, and just one other question.

You are using AI Carriers 2 with the Nimitz add on, is that right. But when me and my friend try to do carrier ops using this, we can never get our carrier in the same place, can i ask how you do it?

Someone is always off by like 10 meters, so i might see him floating in the air, but he sees me half way down the deck, but using the cat. I just really want to get both our carriers lined up, and do some awsome carrier ops.

[degigi2003]

Do you do this in Multiplayer? How do you actually see him?

[FightingFalc0n]

Yes, i try to use it in multplayer, but we cant see each others carrier, so we just try to spawn them in the same place. But they are never aligned up right.

What i try to do is share an aircraft, i pause the whole session, we make the carrier spawn under us, then he leaves my aircraft, and flys his own (if all that makes scence). This just never seems to work.

[degigi2003]

There is a multiplayer mission that includes a carrier. It's part of the mission so you will both see it and can land on it. It is called - "FSX Acceleration Multiplayer Carrier Ops" by Orion Lyau. He is currently making a new multiplayer mission, that will include a moving Nimitz class carrier and it should be available to download by Christmas :) I will post the link in the Description once it is out.

[FightingFalc0n]

Thank you sooo much, i have just downloaded it, and i can wait for me to get it into FSX. You are the best, and i also just downloaded the F-14 Hud aswell, cant wait to get it in game.

Thanks again.

[dswo70]

Precision flying, interesting camera angles, fun editing. Thank you.

[dhl1986]

2:14 it's too bad the wires aren't animated in FSX

[scadawizard]

Nice Job on the Video, enjoyed watching it. Downloaded the carrier and AI package, gonna give it a try, thanks.

[buckkirby]

my mistake the carrier land screen is in PANELS in simvation not MISC.

[buckkirby]

The carrier view landing is in simviation, under misc. files. It was just added a few days ago.

[stefke72yamaha]

2:16  triple roadkilll

[FightingFalc0n]

I have AI Carriers 2, and this add on, how did you get that landing view? Unless i missed something in the readme, or did you make your own camera view?

[rewindablender]

i was wondering dat too

[SolarServer]

Great Job .... I love it!

[degigi2003]

Hi, every add-on in the video is free - the carrier, the aircraft and the HUD :)

[LiveAndLetDie222]

Can u link me to the carrier please? I did quite a search last night and well, didnt have too much luck. I just chose a bad sight at first for the ghoshawk, got it now =] So once again can i have some help getting the carrier?

[degigi2003]

Hi, I added the link to the carrier in the Description on the right. It is one of the best add-ons for FSX :) Please note that it requires the FSX Acceleration pack.

[LiveAndLetDie222]

Ok so it wont be for free. What a waste of time.

[LiveAndLetDie222]

and is that going to be, fa,fa,fa,fa,fa free?

[FlyAndFight]

Nice video and great looking HUD!

Really looking forward to it's release.

Thanks!

[orionlyau95]

Great video Jivko!
