Goonie...

Great find. There's a part about 0:25 seconds that's an interior modeler's GOLD. Thats the perspective that I remember from the sim but that NO ONE in flight sims has gotten correct yet. Look at that teenie tiny cute little Indexer. Haha.

Also, check out this guys other Y/T videos, very good squadron-made stuff. Definately shows how a deployed fleet squadron lives on the boat.... gotta pass the days somehow.

Take Care.

Sludge,

Long time bro. Yeah I like his other Y/T videos too. Especially the one he preflights, starts up, and taxis to the Cat, all from the perspective of the pilot. Pretty cool.

Agree the indexer needs to be updated to the correct size. I might try to build an indexer myself, did you see my thread DIY HUD on the forum? I built a HUD prototype since I mainly fly in 2D HUD view, and I might make my own AoA indexer to complete the build.

Goonie...

Yeah, those videos rock. I've done a few screenshot saves of the cockpit/HUD, so that if they pull the videos I have them for further reference. Man, I wish I could code/model, so I could make an FSX C/D Hornet that has the correct eyepoint, perspective, and HUD build.

I havent looked at it, I'll take a gander this weekend and see what I can come up with from your post. Also, we've never heard back from Virtuali about the possibility of "creating" an added interior model for the HUD projection plane onto the existing interior model. That would rock, if we could do it, as it would work in the VC.

[EDIT] I have seen the DIY HUD thread, sorry, Im old... forgot about that post. Re-reading. Super cool setup!!

The best uninterrupted video I've seen in awhile. Great air to air refueling (1:21), dang that looks hard. Even better is a full carrier landing starting at 2:10. Neat to see all the small corrections being made in real time with out all the fancy editing and cut aways you normally see in these videos. How do you feel the relative speeds compare between what you see in the video and what it looks like in FSX? Would be neat to do a side by side comparison of the carrier landing in the video and FSX carrier landing, let me see if I can do that. Enjoy!

Sukhoi Su-33 - Amazing Footage

"Published on Jan 5, 2013
Please visit my channel @ http://www.youtube.com/user/vexed123
Amazing Footage of Sukhoi Su33 on the Admiral Kuznetsov.

The Sukhoi Su-33 (Russian: Сухой Су-33; NATO reporting name: Flanker-D) is an all-weather carrier-based air defence fighter designed by Sukhoi and manufactured by KnAAPO. It is a derivative of the Su-27 "Flanker" and was initially known as the Su-27K. First used in operations in 1995 aboard the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, The fighter officially entered service in August 1998, by which time the designation "Su-33" was used. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union and the subsequent downsizing of the Russian Navy, only 24 aircraft were produced. Attempted sales to China and India fell through.

Compared with the Su-27, the Su-33 has a strengthened undercarriage and structure, folding wings and stabilators, all for carrier operations. The wings are larger than on land-based aircraft for increased lift. The Su-33 has upgraded engines and a twin nose wheel, and is air refuelable. The aircraft's range and payload are greater than those of the rival MiG-29K, but the Mikoyan fighter has more advanced avionics and is capable of a wider range of missions, including strike operations. In 2009, the Russian Navy ordered the MiG-29K as a replacement for the Su-33."

Aircraft Carrier Landings: "Sea Legs" circa 1980 Grumman US Navy

At beginning the initial 'nose work' by the 'approx' RIO view of Tomcat approach is exaggerated by zoom lens; but impressive nevertheless.

Published on Oct 5, 2012
"This documentary takes a close look at naval aviation on a modern aircraft carrier. It features extensive footage of the launching and recovery of carrier aircraft, including super-slow-motion footage of landings. A successful carrier landing, known as a "trap" by naval aviators, is a one of the most difficult and dangerous duties in the life of any aviator. Source: Naval History and Heritage Command, Photographic Section, UMO-11."

Public domain film from the the US Navy, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied.
The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

F35 FLIGHT SIMULATOR with STEVE LONG F-35C Carrier Landing Circuit Approach as seen in the (not the full FMS) BAE Simulator

"Uploaded on Feb 7, 2012
Steve Long BAE Systems test pilot, shows you how he lands an F-35, travelling around 150MPH, onto the deck of a moving aircraft carrier. All this is done in the Carrier Simulator, at Warton, Lancashire."

Wheres the donut on the F35?

SpazSinbad · « **Reply #146 on:** February 22, 2013, 12:16:24 am »

What is seen on this BAE 'no longer used for F-35C because UK now back to F-35B use' simulator (2012) is the virtual HUD as seen in the HMDS II pilot display before his eyes. Probably the actual Full Mission Simulator (several now installed in various places in USA and later in other countries) has a better simulated view because the pilot will wear a simulated HMDS II helmet system. Anyway AFAIK there is no AoA indexer except as seen in the vHUD.

There is a good recreation of what is known for public consumption in Dino Cattaneo 's F-35C FREE addon for FSX Accelerator.
