So hyped for this gameplay. I’m on mission 6 and loving it!

After a lot of training, bringing myself up to speed on VR flying, and a lot more training, I got an Above Average. I still got sloppy wingovers, however, I would defend them in a real post flight debrief (maybe the speed was just a little off).

That was actually pretty good flying! I'd have given you an above average haha. And you didn't fly out of habit after Zone 5, and landed on 21R as instructed! Just one note for the future: I included the on screen messages to emphasize the most important instructions in order not to break the mission - you took off with a "do not take off yet" message :) But it was no big deal. Good luck with the rest of the training, I'm gonna be showing your playthrough to everyone who struggles with Mission 1 - this is how it's done!

Thanks chief. I was full on the brakes at mil-power and it was still moving. I may need to check my bindings. I'll slow down a bit in the future. Thanks for the encouragement, it's a really interesting campaign so far.

@@wavehopper4183 nah, the DCS Tomcat's brakes can't hold it at mil power, not your fault. Just throttle back a bit.

@@ReflectedSimulations Exactly. In my squadron we hold at 80% rpm at the "run 'em up", and it holds the aircraft. More than that, and the plane starts to move. So that's what I did during the mission, and it worked nicely.

Can you talk about your rudder use during these maneuvers?

Fairly minimal to be honest. Just using it to counter the nose if and when it slides. Slight touch of opposite rudder in the turns to straighten the tail out. The rudder tends to be used more during high speed and/or high AOA flight.

Humbling experience to say the least. I’ve been in the atom at for almost a year and a half now. I’m a group, completed Zone 5, finished Fear the Bones, participated (and survived) in group campaigns. I thought I would at least get an average score, but I got smacked with a UNSAT grade at the end. The wing-over and flat turn were the most difficult for me as well. Love the Speed and Angels Campaign though. I want the bass riff at the end of every mission as my ring tone. 🤣🤣🤣

You did mess up on startup a little with that hydraulic transfer switch (although you did close it again anyway, so all good). It's at normal by default, then you're supposed to raise the guard and switch it off, then close the guard which puts it back. If I recall correctly, the reason for this is something like when you've cranked and started the right engine but not the left, it can make the plane think you've lost an engine and start doing emergency hydraulic transfer stuff, so you put the switch to off while starting the engines to prevent that from happening. Granted, it might only be a minor thing, as I don't know to what degree the emergency hydraulic transfer is modelled in DCS.

I did indeed. I've since learned more about the hydraulic system, it was something I didn't understand at the time. Good tips, cheers.

@@wavehopper4183 You are going to laugh but I did it again and on the carrier break I didn't deploy landing gear (switched it form keybo to my Warthog throttle button) and I did the best on-speed good-parameters smash into runway ever. If only I had gear down.

The "Mil" power setting is very low on the Tomcat. I also ran out on the first try, and never made this mistake again. Don't go over 5-7 on the fuel flow scale if you don't need to.
