DCS Warthog Takeoff and Landing Challenge (pt 2)

[spammage84]

Interesting choice at flying so low. I realise with a sim you don't have the possibility of engines failing and I'm not sure how well these things fly with no power (probably about as well as an explosive brick). I bought this sim way back when it came out but didn't have the discipline to learn how to fly it. For that I respect you :) Great landing too. I think if I was going to get into this properly I'd be buying a trackIR and using eyefinity with 3 screens.

Does this have free flight? Meaning, start up take off, fly around do whatever you want.. and not have to do missions.

[riscfuture]

@TheStellalicious Yes, it comes with empty missions. You can use the mission editor as well and just not place threats.

Awesome... just a quick question... but wasn't that a really loose pattern? I would think that normal patterns, especially for the A-10, would be much tighter. I know that for general aviation, you cut power and turn base as you reach the approach end of the runway... just wondering why you flew it that way.

Best regards....

@RyderSpearmann The challenge given was to fly an overloaded A-10 (a few thousand pounds over max gross weight) through one pattern and safely land it. Given that I was outside parameters, I opted against aerobatics and flew the pattern wide and shallow.

i suppose you have all graphics in HIGH settings . True ? 

[riscfuture]

@jincatelo True.

fucking shit...this looks awesome...best footage ever seen from a sim... but do u use TrackIR 4 / 5 or Freetrack?

[riscfuture]

@punisher17011990 TrackIR 5 with the head clip.

[HeadDrauma]

Did you manage to lock yourself in the cockpit by turning off all the power??

[riscfuture]

@HeadDrauma If I recall correctly, in the game you can operate the canopy with the battery off. No idea if that's how it works in real life.

@riscfuture Lets assume its not realsitic: How do you get in? ;)
