Learning objectives
- Set up keybinds
- Understand special nuances for specialty aircraft (e.g. pit limitations)
- Understand flight model for specialty aircraft
- Know how to load an F-16 pit for specialty aircraft operations
F-4 Phantom II
F-14 Tomcat
Carrier aircraft. Can carry the Aim-54 Phoenix long range missile.
F-111 Aardvark
F/A-18
Carrier aircraft.
A-7 Corsair II
Carrier aircraft. Uses F-16 pit by default. Need to bind tail hook and flaps. CTRL-F9, CTRL-F10 for flaps.
This thing does not catch the catapult. It also only knows two throttle speeds: full and off. This makes things challenging when taxiing. To take off, get lined up between and behind the catapult by about 50 feet, drop full flaps, full throttle and take off. You may hear some loud grinding, that seems to be normal. Just raise your gear and carry on.
The flight model is not realistic; it has an instantaneous turn rate of 60 degrees.
To land, lower flaps fully, drop the tail hook and the gear, slow down to about 150 kts and catch the wire.
