Omigod hilarious! First contestant = "Oh, I see the day has already got stupid"

[@Pause4pot]

These & the other flying/driving competitions are my favorites & the AA Canyon Death Runs

[@christophero55]

The canyon death runs are pretty great I agree.

[@wilson2455]

there's quiet a number of excellent carrier landings that aren't hooking a cable. DCS seems to have a few bugs..

[@rubiconnn]

It might just be latency. Most online games will "fill in" locational data if the user's computer doesn't send location updates in a timely manner, meaning the server just guesses where the player's plane will be and shows that. Wifi is notorious for losing lots data during transmission and lots of people use it instead of ethernet so it's going to look like a good landing when it may not have been. |Also it appears that most of the "good" landings here were landing way off to the side where the wire isn't lifted off the ground all the way, and the aircraft weren't coming down at a steep enough angle, causing the hook to bounce.

[@danreuther1446]

“Quite”

[@madlarkin8]

I dont think its bugs. I think some of these INSANE landings are technically possible. However no one could ever attempt them since failure is certain death, theres a comically high chance of failure, and nobody with acces to these planes would ever be authorized to attempt it.

[@grimreapers]

Seems to be a new thing, these landings used to work fine if you watch the older competitions we did.

[@Screamblade_]

@@grimreapers Could it be the hook skipping off the deck and over the wires?

[@muzikman183]

Dude I've been missing the carrier landing competitions! Glad you guys havent forgotten about it. Oh and i miss the canyon runs!

[@slowhornet4802]

another STOL race or however it was called would be nice. Some tanks blocking the middle of a runway. Take off, land behind the tanks, and take off again opposite direction and land behind the tanks again.

[@whistlingbadger]

Navy: Defend the carrier! Cap: No problem. What we'll do is float a couple of APCs in the ocean...

[@dexlab7539]

APCs are cheaper than Ticos

[@mwalker3005]

Love to see you add night landings to the challenge. With no carrier lights on

[@exidy-yt]

It would add to the challenge for the pilots, but not be nearly as fun to watch as a video.

[@grimreapers]

Cool idea but would see nothing in the vid?

[@milkmunstr]

​​@@grimreaperswear night vision? i don't play DCS so i'm not sure if that's an option

[@selig8752]

Sees nothing but a landing light followed by a fireball then infinite darkness. Lol

[@kurtreichenbach8927]

Damn Both my main gear bent on first go around...And in the A10 i lost some binds so all the important stuff for this was not there..I miss these comps.....RB

[@Avio033]

Doesn't the F16 have a tailhook? I could've sworn it did. Not for carrier operation but for emergency landings with arrestor wires. Edit: Nevermind, commented too early. GG Fly.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

Ricky Bobby? More like Wrecky Bobby. Nice work Fly, you beat Cap. That was the important thing to do. #FlyFan

[@MavicAir1]

Lots of perfect landings there but no hook up. That was alot of fun.

[@PongoXBongo]

Love the sideways chute landings. Old school stall and plop. Who needs hooks? 😅

[@RLD_Media]

Been waiting for the next one of these forever! Love it.

[@CrashingKiwi]

Loved this video! Thanks to all who participated and put up with the fun kinks that Cap threw in (giggidy). Whoever would have thought landing sideways across a carrier could be done? Cannot wait for the next taxi through an obstical course, fly throuigh a series of cones with the risk of Fly shooting you down, air race like you have done before.... but with armed APCs along the race track!

[@Thirdeye_Shaman]

It was really cool to watch all the different types of plans lining up on the landing pattern with that view

[@megagoofy]

"GUTN TAG!" got me lol

[@FlybywireTheGerman]

Ja Guten Tag , from germany , Always 😂

[@droman608]

The German pilot was hilarious. Almost reminded me of the antagonist in Inglorious Bastards. #brilliant

[@exidy-yt]

This was so much fun to watch, I can only imagine how much more fun it would be to actually fly it. ;-) Great video, do more please!

[@daniellee5192]

Excellent pilot skills. I was waiting to roast a hotdog at the end over all the flames.😂

[@kyivmoonskyproject]

That flight show was a funny one 😂

[@matthewhall6288]

@30:05 Crew just nonchalantly walks across the deck as a hornet does a flaming J-turn.

[@John_SlideRule_Bullay]

Great Fun GR! Video Valued by Valued Viewer!

[@adamtheninjasmith2985]

Yes! I've been waiting for a video like this for a while now. Sometimes you guys are at your best when you're screwing around doing ridiculous stuff like this. I'll never forget Caps ridiculous landing through ALL the cwis... Absolutely bonkers!

[@kenbrown9773]

A landing competition! I've wanted a new one for so long, I'm so happy right now!

[@Blue-6]

11:34 What an unlikely joke on Ricky Bobby XD

[@kurtreichenbach8927]

Mmmm.....guess I missed hearing that...RB

[@jakesully2868]

Hhahahahahahahahahahahaha! I love all you! Some absolutely insane flying.

[@JC-uk8lp]

GR Carrier Competition best competition

[@thediscernist1606]

Excellent. Already looking forward to the next one

[@lilgto64]

I had a hell of a time landing an F/A18 on a carrier in X-Plane until I read the POH and realized that I was starting with around double the max landing weight in fuel load. I'd either come in way to fast or stall and hit the tail. After adjusting the fuel load to the proper level I was able to nail it.

[@falcon9983]

Classic. So much fun. Thanks bois

[@ecbst6]

2 minutes in and someone better be smart enough to choose 'parachute' 😁

[@Trains-With-Shane]

That was bloody glorious. Congratulations Matrix!

[@bradleygraves5915]

This absolutely made my day!!!

[@timbaskett6299]

I've seen a USAF RF-4 use it's arresting hook. It had a hydraulic failure and used its hook to catch an emergency wire on the runway.

[@Netbug]

Fun vid, thanks to everyone who took part.

[@hanrockabrand95]

14:34 is a veritable jump scare

[@jayykeyy]

how many people have been shadowbanned by google?

[@hanrockabrand95]

@@jayykeyy I haven't counted

[@stolemymaize]

Great show!

[@MrMusicboy420]

The landing at the 9:00 mark was like perfect. idk how the hook didnt catch. perfect lineup. AND AGAIN at 10:15

[@mavrikmavrik3032]

So fun to watch!

[@S.Madman]

You should have put the NES Top Gun landing music on the background.

[@mgbale01]

Brilliant!

[@bamafan-in-OZ]

You know it going to be crazy when fly turbs up, and hilariously entertaining but the Master still reigns, Matrix!

[@BenTrem42]

Almost as though only being on the line would grab a cable. So many approaching from starboard stern!

[@BenTrem42]

Oh! Carrier isn't moving into the wing? So touch down is 20kts faster than usual, no?

[@134StormShadow]

Matrix wins.... hears the prize, goes straight to Fox5 😂

[@dexlab7539]

Awesome boys! Load of fun well done 😊😊

[@thelatemickb6927]

Pure joy...

[@voradfils]

It's tough when you can't tell whether DCS hook modeling is getting better or the damn thing just doesn't work. Bog did have "dead hook angles" back in the day already. If you want to go R-word style, land a little short, plant the nose down immediately and drive over the wires. Used to catch every time, probably still does because this FVG.

[@Tenright77]

I always wanted to try my SF-340 on a carrier... Regional Airline career phase... Thx Cap.

[@14SSonnen88]

i love you cap

[@andrewhull7296]

To the first pilot in round 2, you needed your right rudder to straighten you the nose of your 18.

[@williamhendrick903]

>lands under carrier >LSO: No proper communication

[@andyladds374]

The bell machine was a common site, when I was younger, here in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@edwardsarty9572]

Wow this was great😂

[@SWCCfreak]

Tournament idea. Guns only dogfights. Head on pass to begin the merge. No missles, and it's best 2 out of 3 to move up the ladder. Kicker, if a prop shoots down a jet they are allowed to take 2 fox 2s in the next match if they choose a jet. If a prop shoots down a prop it doesn't apply

[@Razgriz0111]

14:35 Say Cheese!

[@martinschwanke7127]

This should'nt be so funny, but its hillarious, many thanks valued air people.

[@TDurden527]

I could 't help but cheer you bastards. Nice job.

[@martinschwanke7127]

Going to be signing up for the public servers. honestly you guys are soooo funny. So a German and a Fin walk into a bar together the German asks after some time,. "are you still drinking" the Fin says "No I am Finnish " lol the best i can think of.

[@bruce4623]

🥳🥳🥳🥳 I've been waiting for a NEW EXTREME Carrier Landing Skill Competition to come out! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@The.Toaster]

I wish they'd add the effect of water disturbance when the engines get close to the water. Wouldn't have to be hugely complex or detailed to begin with, but something like a spray or a change in the surface appearance would be good. It just looks odd having nothing at all.

[@MeatVision]

33:57 epic xD

[@tor6738]

Love it.

[@colinboneham7387]

I’d say land which ever way you can get on the carrier

[@kenhelmers2603]

FUN!

[@AndyDrake-FOOKYT]

"Maybe the plane doesn't like the capitalist carrier?" 😂😂😂

[@zbeen-ah-lah]

Do a “butter” competition. Smoothest landing wins.

[@Slikx666]

Madness, pure madness! 🤪👍

[@lenn55]

Some serious crabbing in round 2. lol

[@xray111xxx]

Love the Carrier challenges. And the Hey, watch this!

[@wbertie2604]

Any landing you can eject from is a good one?

[@kaeaja]

33:25 Come here miho I just want to talk :> *is holding Chancla Missile*

[@ResolUloseR]

"From the stern to the back of the ship"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@DanLakeCakeGraphicsDesign]

This community sounds like huge fun to play with, are you an open group? Love the videos :)

[@eaches]

From (far) past experience, I can tell you, you guys would have seriously pissed off some boatswain's mates but the damage you did to that deck.

[@cubismo85]

Seems to be easier with carrier-based aircrafts like F14 & F18, note that

[@Eagle01ph]

i miss these

[@EeekiE]

Fun video.

[@Darthalamus]

41:05 that guy almost did spacex better than spacex

[@Grieva-SeeD-]

These are great. Can you guys do the canyon run again? I found that to be probably the best challenges :)

[@magnitudefallout3944]

So... I take it the entire DCS community barely does carrier landings? Based on this video

[@DarkOmenX]

so much fun :)

[@user-jm4nj7nz6t]

"We do BASIC flight on Tuesdays, Indigo." Oof. ⚰️

[@evolve117]

Early enougth to only see 9 views and 3 comments. What a time to be watching. Keep up the good DCS videos

[@GrumpyGamerGuy]

and fun times were had by all

[@frozencowboy6552]

Nerds passed this off as real. I legit thought this was going to be for real.

[@mortoopz]

Guns dogfight, but if you can get it back on the carrier you can get a new one?

[@WoodenPlankGames]

hundred Knot crosswind? Why are there carrier landings happening on Lake Superior?

[@docogg50]

"His wife is annoyed because he wouldn't listen!" Story of my life, lolololol

[@armedandredee]

Maybe you should stipulate rules like all landing gear must be touching the top deck. This would fix issues with the planes hanging off the sides.

[@Sarrienne]

Heh heh... Landing under the carrier - It's a Bing thing!!

[@jarigustafsson7620]

Needs "Mighty Wings & Danger Zone" soundtrack.

[@surferdude4487]

Landing, on a carrier, in a 100 knot cross-wind. Wouldn't the carrier be laying on its side?

[@1leggedmedia]

May I ask what you use to fly? Computer or VR and program? Everything needed to fly these plane I am disabled and this looks like a good way to have fun

[@mikoriad]

This is, overall, the no skills carrier landing challenge.

[@darthnovii]

This video is the reason Navy Pilots go full throttle as soon as they hit the deck.

[@ningen1980]

How fast will the wind speeds be? How fast does an SR-71 go?

[@radsy5821]

Is the carrier pitching/rolling/heaving default now, or a mod?

[@layneanderson9582]

not sure why the airforce has such a problem. my guess is the tail hook is bouncing worse because of the touch down grab versus the long all 3 on the ground profile normally used for tail hook landing by the airforce.

[@ElizabethVentrano]

Is the call for a missed carrier landing "power" over in the eu? Im so used to hearing "bolter" here

[@andrewzeedyk3095]

I'm suprized Noone used an A-10 and turned off the ground safety.

[@aviationaboveall]

Not that I assume you to know, but when I start DCS up it closes? It isn’t any of my logitech since I have unplugged them and it is fine, my PC specs are good and the game is up to date. Do you have any idea? Oh and I don’t have any mods, even at 0.27 it did work for a while until recently which now it doesn’t, and I have verified file integrity of game files, so I literally have no idea what is causing it.
