  • Yeah, why the hell did you flare?

  • you dont flare landings in an F/A 18. thats what the beefy landing gear is for

  • good landing!!

  • how do you air brake in fsx? for instance the expert mission, following a guy through the dark, its impossible to stay close to him without air brakes?? I mean you push the throttle a little too much and youre in front of him and hes gone.... is there air brakes and where is it on the keyboard, or where in settings??

  • Nice.

  • the only key to success this mission all you have to do is follow the dozer 122 all the way until you see the carrier ball and u need to maintain 140-130 knots for the approach speed and don't let your decent exceed 700ft/min. i don't have any difficulties to this mission

  • do you know if they are ILS for the moving carriers?

  • this is actually quite skilled. there are quite alot of people who would struggle with this as they just aren't cut out for this kind of thing you no what i mean.

  • are there carriers that work in free flight.cables and all?or all there are is just static carriers?

  • new hud for F/A 18 is very helpful... it shows you the TACAN

  • yea i jst did this 2 but it was like my third try lol but still its easier than u think nice vid and dont flair on landing lik u jst did but over all nice i give it a 9

  • very nice carrier landing

  • Completed this mission yesterday, first try! Rather satisfied with that :P Good job!

  • this was good 5*

  • do this game teach u how to perform dogfight maneuvers ??!!!

  • I don't think so

  • @euyooo if u wanna fight get Lock on Flaming Cliffs .

  • nice job

  • u r not suppose to flair on landing

  • this is my favorite mission its amazing

  • can somebody please send me the product key for microsoft flight simulator acceleration? I've lost the box with the code and now i can't install it on our new computer. I still have the code for fsx delux, but i can't install the acceleration expansion pack. Please Email the product key to me.

  • I'm having trouble with this one. I can keep about 10 feet away from the wingman throughout the approach, that's easy. But when I land, I go 130 knots, the LSO and the ball says I'm on a good glide slope, I touch down smoothly on all gears and it says I crash. I tried again and flared a little (despite not needing to), but it still crashes. I can land on the carrier tutorial every time, yet this one defeats me. Any suggestions?

  • Never mind, I just did it :D I used Microbrewst's carrier landing guide on fsdreamteam (dot) com, very helpful! My problem was overcorrecting once over the deck and accidentally raising the nose just before catching a wire, consequently face-planting the jet into the deck. Thanks Microbrewst!

  • k ill send it to you when ur on the key code

  • nicely done! That was a very smooth landing. Only thing is your not supposed to flare a lot when landing on a carrier but this was better than I could have done.

  • what computer are you using and what graphic details

  • I can't put my flaps down in the hornet

  • mh it's not a very difficult mission...

  • @TheMostWanted94 how do you air brake in fsx? for instance the expert mission, following a guy through the dark, its impossible to stay close to him without air brakes?? I mean you push the throttle a little too much and youre in front of him and hes gone.... is there air brakes and where is it on the keyboard, or where in settings??

  • I land on the carrier but then nothing happens.

    what do I do?

  • Raise the Tailhook...

  • You go home crying to your mommy.

  • Why didn't you launch the plane at the end?

  • is this game hard with a basic joy stick or do you need to get the full kit with throttles,rudders

  • No you dont. you dont even need a joystick. i started playing it with my xbox controler... and then when i found how great fsx is i brought myself a joystick. and i fly easyly with simple joystick. =] but i advice getting a good(ish) joystick

  • can i buy this in Australia? if any1 knows can you please pm me? thx

  • buy it off amazon mate im american thats were i got it

  • i cant land on a carrier cant any one help

  • well .... what's to help ? just fly straight ahead, and watch your altitude, you can descend to 600 feet earlier if you want... the visibility is realy realy bad but you will see at some point a light far away, that is the carrier.... don;t know what else i could say ....

  • just do the mufucking missions!don t be bored!

  • maybe i can, when you are landing you have to hook on a cable, i think that HUD shows you are you too low or too high and if HUD shows you that you are on right position than you will hook on and land, small dots shows you that, if this sounds complicated, than watch tutorial :)

  • i did this mission.. it wasn't that hard.

  • cut the showing-off.everyone did it

  • great video ;D

  • Well Sports Bets and casino is much more profitable for me :)

  • no, cause I have to go to school ...

  • Hey I'll only get a job in summer vacation

  • hi! i have the FSX Acceleration but i can install. he say i dont have FSX, but i have! :(. can you help me install the FSX Acceleration?

    THX

  • i hate this mission sooo much

  • i love this game i never stop playing it this is how iv pretty much learned to fly

  • i wish i could afford a computer to be able to play this game. i wish that so much ...

  • excellent landing..... i really wish i knew how to land on the carriers.

  • this is really makin me jealous...

  • i have this game....

    but i cant play it...

  • nice landing

  • haha thanks for showing this mission :) now i knoq how to do :P

  • is this a default fsx sound?

  • whenever its on (the ball) or it says (Call the ball) doesent that mean a exelent glide slope like in runway landings where its 2 white dots and 2 red dots its a good glideslope?

  • this mission was pretty easy actually.

  • "GET YOUR ASS IN PARKING NOW"

    Lol

  • sorry what are the flaps??

  • i definatly need to get this expancion pack

  • nice job, I usually hit the back of the carrier.

  • i have a question, will this game be able to run on my...

    Compaq Presario C502US

    Intel Celeron M 440 / 1.86 GHz

    2 GIGS of RAM

    Intel GMA 950

    Dual Booting Windows XP/Windows Vista

    Please i bougt this game a couple of days ago and i installed it on my old desktop but FSX sucked on that PC and my other laptop is missing a ac adapter, anyway fsx acceleration pack didn't work on desktop PC so...

    hope you reply to this

  • I think yes

  • yes you can

  • To strocksebastian I have a quad core packard bell with a geforce 9600 with four gigs of ram and runs lika a dream on ultra high settings so yors should run on about medium ok

  • Slow to 130knots.... Only a hornet can do that and still be in the air. =D

    Landing looks neat... but I could have sworn the flight path marker wasn't on the deck the whole time..?

  • i dnt no much about these kind of planes but do they hv autpilot

  • wow! You have skills!! I pretty much dominated all the missions in deluxe except 4 but in acceleration i so far only be able to complete the first mission!!! :(

  • awsome! can't see any bullits from small arms fire though...:P

  • Did you use camstudio to record...?

  • how much more space does this take up?

  • I think about 1.5 Gigs

  • beautiful landing. Acceleration takes up i think about 2GB of memory. But chances are if you don't have 2GB of free space to spare after fsx, you probably won't even be able to run fsx. No Offense. I had a crap computer and fsx was nearly impossible.

  • @avillaruz 15

  • @hafunny2 actually its 15 gigabytes not 1.5

  • This is a very fun mission... Tried it last night, and got it on my first run... :P

    What'd you use to record?

  • avillaruz whats your comp. spec?

  • 2.66 GHz dual core, GeForce 8600 GT (512 MB), 2 Gigs of RAM.

  • @avillaruz

    What graphical settings are you running this on?

  • is this one of the missions on the acceleration pack

  • Yep

  • Damn! That was some good flying!

    A lot of people think they're a good pilotbecause they can roll and turn wildly, but the mark of a true pilot is good formation flying in less than perfect conditions, and a well judged landing.

    Keep it up, and keep posting!

  • Thanks :)

  • which should i get first: the medal of honor pack or acceleration?SERIOUSLY HARD DESICIONS!

  • That decision's easy: acceleration

  • i also did that but in english it sounds cooler (voices) than in german lol

  • hey man awesome vid. i absolutely need this game i was just wondering is do you need to have fsx before this one? or is it the same with just all the fighter jets added?

  • yeah u need fsx first. acceleration is just an addon. and to get the best out of it u need a joystick with rudder controls and throttle handle. It's quite expensive but really worth the money :D

    oh and a fast computer would not be a disadvantage either

  • Yes you need FSX first before you get this one. Also make sure you upgrade you're video card (Geforce 8600 GT at least). This add on needs some powerful hardware.

  • Nice video, but you are in a very wide formation. The pilot of the other FA/18 tell you when you are in a good formation. In the VC it looks like your much closer then you really are.

  • that soundtrack sounds like B744 for me

  • i have the first version of microsoft flight simulator how high can u fly with those aircrafts?

  • very high like sattelight high but not like moon or mars high lol:)

  • How do you know where the airport is?

  • Which airport?

  • I mean Carrier

  • you can only get it on the missions, unless you downloads the "aicarriers2.zip" file.

  • there is one in near Norfolk INTL, Virginia which has the cables, other than that the missions or in front of san fransisco. But that one has no cables.

  • after a while once you have done the missions more than once. the game gets a little boring. does anyone know where i could download fsx missions? i dont have the expansion. thanks

  • after a while once you have done the missions more than once. the game gets a little boring. does anyone know where i could download fsx missions? i dont have the expansion. thanks

  • ... assuming everyone knows 'bingo fuel' doesn't mean 'out of fuel'

  • It can, if you set bingo to empty ;)

  • k cheers. will do wen i'm not broke lol

  • Is this voice in the fs acceleration?

  • Yes

  • LOL AT 6:36!!!!

  • how many missions are there in acceleration? is it definately worth buying?

  • about 20 missions. Definitely worth buying!

  • On the second try I got it but I got serious pilot confusion. One the first try I went into the dead man's dive and hit the water. lol

  • o boy, thats a hard one... nice landing...

  • Thanks :)

  • how do you make it with running out of fuel I can never make it to the carrier i always run out of fuel . i tryed it on 1 engine and couldnt

  • how do you make it with running out of fuel I can never make it to the carrier i always run out of fuel . i tryed it on 1 engine and couldnt

  • Never had any problem running out of fuel. Try to cut back on using the afterburner.

  • Me too I never ran out of fuel. All I heard was "Bingo fuel."

  • Not a bad landing. You were bouncing high and low on approach but kept an even glideslope. You looked on speed, on centerline most of the way in, becoming a little high on short final. A 4-wire is what I'm guessing you snagged. Fair4 for the greenie board. Coulda been an OK3. Keep it right at glideslope, no floating high!

  • Thanks :) I finally got an opinion from a real navy pilot!

  • what are your computer specs?

  • 2.66 GHz Intel dual core, Geforce 8600 GT (512 MB), and 2 gigs of RAM.

  • what are your computer specs?

  • what are your computer specs?

  • I was surprised and quite proud that I completed this mission on my first try.

  • nice job

  • Thanks :)

  • how do you get those pilot voices?

  • i have a... X2 Intel 4400 processor

    8800gtx

    400 watt power supply

    2.5 gb of RAM

    and a completely emty hard drive

    .... all this is on a Dell Dimension E521 desktop.. so, am i go for launch on here? :)

  • This is more than I got. You shouldn't have any problem running this game. You can even run it in DX10 mode.

  • Nice mission but could'nt you have done this in day time? Can't see anything at night.

  • Thanks. This mission is at night only.That's the whole point...night landings are much harder than day.

  • wat do u use to record ur flight???

  • I use Growler GunCam, but there's another program out there that's better. It's called Fraps.

  • oh ok..thxs..but for the fraps u need to buy the full version...do u have t pay for growler guncam???

  • You can use it free for a trial period, but I think it only costs 20 bucks to buy.

  • Great Vid, and Fraps trial gives you only 30 seconds of recording, thats pretty useless..

  • nice flight and landing^^

  • Thanks :)

  • is this an add on if it isiant what sim did you bye

  • This is the first official add-on to MS Flight Simulator X. It's called FSX acceleration.

  • VERY nicely done

  • Thanks :)

  • Very nice landing :)

  • Thanks :)

  • is the aircraft carrier on free fly? and if it is how do i get 2 it?

  • Yes you can...Google "PTaylor's WebLog", click the first link and look what he says about carriers. The utility he talks about is really good! Try it!

  • what airplanes does the FSX Acceleration have?

  • FSX Acceleration includes three airplanes:North American P51 Mustang (Racing version of a warbird classic), AgustaWestland EH101 (All-purpose medium-lift helicopter) and Boeing F/A-18 Hornet.

  • So is there a free fly?

  • yeah...but you have to download a special app to get the carrier in free flight.

  • ok thx! were can i download the app?

  • no This is mission

  • great vid

  • Thanks :)

  • Can you get a carrier in free flight?

  • Yes you can...Google "PTaylor's WebLog", click the first link and look what he says about carriers. The utility he talks about is really good! Try it!

  • hei, great landing! It seems that you raise your nose a little just after trapped. right ?

    then your wheel won't "dig" into the deck.

    thx a lot

  • yeah you have to flair before touching down so the front gear won't dig, but also to slow the descent for a soft touchdown.

  • Well, the "instruction in tutorial" said no need for flair, lol. thx.

  • i learnin' it too i think you got that right. Nice landin! :)

  • Thanks :)

  • this game need high graphics?

  • You need at least 2 gigs of RAM and a Geforce 6X00, but you need a dual core processor and a Geforce 8X00 for it to run in high detail and resoltion.

  • should this run with the same specs as FSX? cos i got acceleration for xmas, but the PC that i have run FSX on for ages wont run this at all. it just comes up with something about the GPU and then shuts down...

  • I think you need at least 2 Gigs of RAM, a GeForce 7X00 video card, and of course, the latest video drivers for the card.

  • i dont have any of that. but it runs now anyway, turns out the message about the graphics card was its own contrived way of telling me i needed to restart before i could play. I dont have anywhere near the specs you suggest, im using 1gb of RAM, and i dont know what the GPU is, but a geforce it aint.

  • The GPU (Graphics processing Unit) is the proceessor on the GeForce

  • I GOT accel but i need x for it to worrk

  • ah.. kk, I have been trying to figure out how to land using ILS at airports, I get the runway freq from the map, but i don't know how to enter it into the system, any suggestions?

  • Oh...that's easy. When you go to the world map while your in flight, the runways should have ILS frequencies (most but not all). You have to tune that frequency into NAV1 in your radio stack. When you get close to the airport make sure your NAV/GPS dial is switched to "NAV". When you're close enough to the airport the vertical and horizontal ILS pointers should appear on your HDD. Hope I was helpful.

  • how do you get lined up with centerline on approach, not necessarily on the carrier but on any runway. I have staying lined up with the runway even if i feel like im perfectly lined up to start with. Is there a command to help with this?

  • It's kind of hard to describe...you just kind of have to get the "feel" of it. I guess what I do is keep the centerline in the middle of my hud at all times...

  • very nice!
