Weather forecast?
1/4SM = 1/4 of Standard METER :P

Fun fact: During the Vietnam war, pilots were fitted with sensors to record the level of stress they were under during missions and they discovered that Nighttime/Low visibility/Poor weather carrier landings were more stressful to pilots than the enemy actively trying to kill them.
Not surprised given that your landing strip is running away from you in the middle of a storm
@@Sion_Revan doesnt it running away from you make for an easier landing?
@@lasersummit7895 not necessarily. Very small and short landing area not to mention it’s moving at a good pace also add on poor weather/visibility then you end up with needing very precise control and comma to land. There’s navy pilots that talk about carrier landings where the weather is so bad they don’t see the ship until they land on it
@@texastootin1628 i didnt mention any of that. re read my comment
@@lasersummit7895 if it was a straight runway, yes. But since the runway is at an angle to it’s direction of travel, that actually makes it a lot harder as you have to compensate for its forward movement in your approach without moving straight forward yourself.
That deck jumped out of nowhere. Impressive
Not really. He used ACLS. So he had nothing to do with this landing.
@@codyking4848 "Not really" what? Are you another youtube bot?
@@ba-a-ano I mean not hating for the fun of it but Yh he used acls the plane did it for him more or less more of a feat of putting faith in the planes systems than his ability but still cool video
@@brandonharris6904 I thought we're all talking about really cool deck "jumpscare" here but this guy here is being obnoxious smartass in every other comment section.
We know about ACLS, we're here for cool video like you said. And guy here is all like "umm AKSHUALLY..." which I find really sad.
Have a nice day.
The carrier probably thought "that Tomcat jumped out of nowhere"
that last call
"3 wire? yaa I can't do that"
honestly, same bro, i'd just stay in the air till the weather clears up😅
all fun and games til you run out of fuel and you have to scuttle. then they gotta do a man over board (they rarely find the people that go overboard)
@@masterqui-gonjinn90that's comforting.
"3-wire. Yeah, can't do that."
"That's why I'm the pilot and you're the RIO, Jester."
after a lot of hour with F-14 and god knows how many times I do 0 visibility carrier landings in it, it still scares me, how to aft of the ship just forms up, it's amazing, gj man
Yeah it scared the shit out of me as you can hear ;). I was trying to slam DLC at right moment as ACLS has tendency to overshot wires, but do it too early and you will not ramp 😅
@@The_Tau the trick is never tell your misstakes so everybody thinks you are a Top Gun pilot from 80’s
@@kaan2866 😅 True, even though I clearly wrote how I was "flying" here ;)
What’s more impressive is the computer in the SPN-42 ACLS system when F-14 would do a fully auto approach had only 32K of memory. Been replaced with SPN-46 which has had many upgrades since mid 1980’s. SPN-42 was still used at a couple shore stations till 2012.
That’s a lot of faith to land blind with just instrumentation only… the carrier came out of nowhere
It's ACLS (Automatic Carrier Landing System). Hands off and no faith necessary.
Anytime a pilot catches a 3 wire in bad weather they deserve a cookie 🍪
When I was stationed in England, back in the early 90's, at RAF Alconbury, I watched an A-10 do a 90° left turn. It was awesome to watch. He pulled the front up, then flipped upside down at a 90° left turn. Then, as he headed left, he flipped it back upright. This was before everyone had a cellphone with a camera on it. But even if I had a video camera with me, I had to know the 4 planes were going to fly-by in formation, and the one was going to do that maneuver. I was working, walking to the hazardous waste area to dump old oil from an oil change I just did on a vehicle in the shop.
That was incredible. Nicely done man.
Nothing incredible about it. He used the modeled ACLS (Automatic Carrier Landing System) to hands-off let the aircraft and carriers systems land the plane automatically.
Yeah a first time landing by instrument on a carrier, definitely is the pilot "coming to God" moment lmao
I saw one in pitch black too and that's just scary af.
Holy smokes, yout can even see the super structure while on deck
Like they say in the Navy: There is no such a thing like bad weather, there is only bad equipment.
That thumbnail...* chef's kiss *
its like a horror film and the killer jumps out last second
Good shit, That's some amazing Piloting skills you got there
You mean great skills at switching on right switches 😅. ACLS stands for Automatic Carrier Landing System, it was the carrier itself who took me down on deck via datalink. It just in F14 ACLS + autothrottle makes you skip the wires so my imput here was to smash DLC when over deck to slam kitty on wires. But as you can see, the right *timing* when to hold DLC is crucial ^^
@@The_Tau what does DLC stand for?
@@Sweggie115 Direct Lift Control
That was intense. Well done.
Jester: "Three wire. Yeah, can't do that."
Me neither, dude. Especially not in that soup.
Awesome job, but I just realized I watched 3:50 seconds of nothing but fog.
fantastic, i'm sure they wouldn't normally fly in those conditions :) well done
Wellll, there are videos of RL aviators on F18s calling the ball in the same moment they slam on the deck, so there they DO fly with 0 visibility… but I guess that’s when they have no other choice!!
There is one landing filmen from the deck, you see the plane only 5 seconds before touchdown. Amazing work everyone is doing and skilled pilots.
@@ThaiLitzki Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS) and Autopilot really comes in handy for these situations.
Only when there is no other choice, you do not put you pilots life in danger for pride. If the mission is not of super importance than you wait for the weather to clear.
Nothing "well done" about it. He used the modeled ACLS (Automatic Carrier Landing System) to hands-off let the aircraft and carriers systems land the plane automatically.
“Ah, f**k me…..”
Brilliant. 😂😂😂
Nice landing Sir. 👍🏼
Hot dam okay I am impressed on that one....dam deck came out of nowhere. lol

not a case 3 landing its a CAT 3 lol
edit: as in category 3
F18 PILOT: hold my icls
I give that landing a pucker factor of 11!!!
Loving that you still had to call clara in conditions like that
get this man a video card
Hell, that was worth a like and a sub. Brutal conditions!
Thanks! Feel free to check my other vids I did ;)
Nice IMC conditions. Good 3 wire trap.
The indicator almost got blocked by the FLOLS UI
F ME! Hahaha…. I’d be thinking the same thing after flying that blind and seeing the deck pop one sec before touch down!
Extraordinary. Respect.
I hate how impossible it is to ride the donut in the F-14. Just adds 250% extra unnecessary anxiety when landing in these conditions. The F-18 basically flies itself down with the power. The F-14 makes you wonder if you're going to slam the tail into the deck or fuck up and end up in the drink.
Nicely done! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Holy freaking hell that was some really horrible weather! Didn't see s***. That backseat commentary is epic - "Just trying to casually distract you from landing!" :D
That was terrifying.
Impressive job. I'd have splattered on the front hull.
And jester HAD to roast you for a three-wire.
"Roast"? Three-wire is the target. That was a "nicely done, I couldn't do that". Though ALCS is the real hero on this one.
Absolutely incredible landing.....
Hey nice work,man! I have only one question: How did u guys done radio effect?
its simple radio software, a kind of must have for any multiplayer teamwork. You set radio frequencies in your cockpit and you get nice radio effects :) dcssimpleradio.com
@@The_Tau Thank u!
may day, may day, losing frames, losing frames "bip bip frames banking bip bip" :))
Amazing video.
Nice job!
Holy crap. You don't see shit till youre practically wheels on deck.
Good job
NO CHANCE that you could have called the ball or see the runway before. This is just a sim, but it scares me so much god damn...
Seeing that the HUD symbology is not moving fluid, this is really scary. Reminds me to earlier MSFS versions when I tried IFR and sucked bootie with the instrument graphics…
Awesome work, that deck appearing from the dark is really scary.
Are there wx minima for the ACLS? Whatever are they, this seemed below 😂
Omg. I need to get this already.
autopilot is a wonderful thing.
right??! :D
Really nice landing! But I need these weather presets, they look amazing!
That’s amazing!!
Impressive ! GJ :)
very impressive
Cat 3B stuff there. Landings only legends do.
very cool
Nice!
Impressive
Is Carlos sainz with binotto on vocals???
wHaT gAmE iS tHiS
for real though, that was noice.
bro spawned from nowhere💀
Damn!, no altitude and speed on hud? Jeez not plane for me xd. Nice flying btw.
You get used to it. At landing you just need correct AoA anyway, speed doesnt matter. And you get radar alt on HUD! :p
Hey, my old ship The Vinson.
Not quite, its CVN70 on thumbnail but I am actually landing on CVN73 George Washington ;)
pure skill!
Not to knock the pilot, but that was a full Autopilot landing, Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS). No shame, though. That's what it's there for. Would be fun to see him do it himself, though, just for the fun and challenge of it, since there are no real-life consequences.
amazing
The F-14A/B hud is what stops me from learning this module. How do you cope with needing to look at steam gauges during combat, refueling, etc? I guess I'm a 4th gen baby. No such thing as information saturation in my book ;)
Old stuff is quirky but I love it.
Get back to piston aircraft and you have to start messing with all sorts of levers.
There’s your throttle, engine rpm, prop pitch, fuel mixture, cowl flaps etc. I couldn’t imagine trying to fight while keeping the engine from trying to destroy itself
Its just practice really, at first I also was uncomfortable, but after enough of hours you get used to it. In combat you have Jester calling out speeds, at landing you just want right AoA and in refueling you look at tanker ;)
Besides I love steam gauges and cold war aircraft. Not to mention the "cool" factor 😎. Cant wait for F4!
Sorry the videos quite old, but how did you get the fog to look so good? Rn what ever I do it looks terrible.
The landing was a jump scare
Just as it stands in those conditions carrier flight operations would be suspended due to safety concerns. after all you don't even see the deck till you are touching it at that point. it's one thing to have 5 seconds of visibility because you have the time to assess if you will need to go around or not and react to those conditions but with such a small area of visibility a jet can slam into the deck before the pilot can react which wastes the navy's money. (what training the pilot and purchasing a new plane are expensive ventures)
But what if its Blue Ops?
@@The_Tau look you don't fly in conditions where just seeing 20M in front of you is almost impossible when it comes to carriers you might have a good system and trust in it but lets face it equipment can always fail and if ACLS fails in those conditions it can be lethal and expensive.
@@shadowcarthage True but what if you launched in good conditions and weather deteriorated in Blue Ops
@@The_Tau I think usually it's refuel at the tanker and then either keep doing so until the weather clears up enough or fly to the closest airbase. Hint it's usually the former because that shouldn't last more than a few hours and if it's forecasted to then you wouldn't have been flying.
Well done sir.
Edit - jester said it best at the very end.
Ill add some context because im drunk. I wanted to be a naval aviator like my dad but gave up on my dream. I'm currently reading "get hard" by david goggins and i feel pathetic. Going to try and change my life.
I feel you bro, I feel you. Would love to be aviator myself
dear god, ive tried this in an 18 in VR, I cant manage it cause i get crazy motion sickness
ACLS is autoland?
Similar system is used for ILS cat II and above in civil aviation
Essentially yes, autoland
holy hell
isnt 1/4SM a quarter of a Statute Mile (1.609km) ?
Yes you are right but thats the joke ;) thats clearly not 1.6km visibility, good catch though
Its like 100m visibilty
Fucking nice landing bro 3 wire And on the ball teh entire time down good jpb
👏👏👏
thats just a summerday in iceland for the coast guard
Hell yeah, cant wait for new upcoming map Kola Peninsula with the famous Norwegian Sea conditions ;)
which button do you press to activate dad ACLS?
There is whole procedure
TLDR
You need to tune to CV datalink and have correct key encryption (key should be default "1" 99.99% of time anyway),
configure for landing
autothrottle on
arm autopilot with selecting ACLS mode
at 3nm to boat you engage autopilot when A/P CPLR light go, left side of VDI
note that autothrottle is not tunned right now, you will miss wires most of the time so right over the boat you have to slam DLCs.
here is full vid
czcams.com/video/k5femxA_lis/video.html
assuming you can't trust the VV in this? it was always above the horizon line even though you were descending.
5 Degrees for flight path is horizon in F14 when in landing mode. Although you should look more at fixed aircraft reticle when looking at HUD horizon line. When "wheels" touch horizon then you are level more or less. Of course you can manually change the ladder...
Is that a player LSO?
Молодец!)
It’s all PLM nowadays whatever that is 😅
WTF nice! lol
this making being a pilot with poor eyesight possible
xD
Amazing. I would crash into the carrier. Is it possible to land in this low visibiliy in real life?
this guy say yes:
@danniem
Calm your tits everyone. There were no special pilot or sim-pilot skills involved here. He used ACLS (Automatic Carrier Landing System) as modeled in the DCS F-14. Yes, it lands the aircraft on to the carrier for you and, yes, that capability existed at the time.
I wonder how pilots landed like this during WWII
They didnt fly in those conditions ;)
What're u flying there?
F-14B Tomcat
How?!

so... how many accidents happened with this system?
In RL USN they never used it as far as I know
is this "FLOLS" also displayed in real life?
on the port side of the boat (visible at 3:42), the overlay is just a visual aid for the player since its pretty tiny on a monitor compared to what you would see in an actual cockpit
No, of course not, it's "a cheat", but I play on small screen so either that or nothing at all. I am testing new set up and will try fly like in RL!
I see. Thanks for explaining:)
Seriously people ? He was on ALS…. ffs
ACLS not required for this landing. Just practice. :)
Yeah, my 1st attempt was manual, had to waveoff... 😅
@TLP Gentoo87 Kindly post yours then.
@@niko7903 I'll record one.
@@The_Tau Trust in the needles
You coulda done that in manual mode!
Nice vid though
yeah I tried 1st attempt, very much waveoff
@@The_Tau Please try again, would love to see it, failures and all.
Who are you talking to? Are those players playing as ATC?
Yes. And as LSO
@@The_Tau oh there's servers for that?
Holy fogs! Is this what blind people see?
💖💖❤❤💘💘
I thought the f14 didn’t get the autopilot landing until the D model
how is it possible?
Just selecting right switches and right timing to slam DLC ;)
What the hell
I would have defected to China or North Korea instead...
You could have made a one minute video that people would actually watch. Every single person skipped to the very end hahaha
