Landings are the pride of pilots because there so many challenges to overcome to make it smooth and seamless. I have 1,000 hours as a flight instructor and I still get excited when I nail a landing.

I'm rewatching this because I have a fun story to share. I went out to rescue a new player who was stranded on Aberdeen last night. The guy was super grateful and said it was his first interaction with another player. He hadn't seen many ships, so my MSR was impressive to him. When we got to EH, I decided to perform my "fancy" landing for him, one I taught myself because of this video. Basically flipping around the pad from underneath, coming to a rest with the cargo door towards the elevators. Not super complicated but I do it fairly smoothly. The guy was geeking out so hard it reminded me why I love SC so much.

I started learning how to do decoupled mode back in the 2.0 days. Dropping people off at Kareah to hack crime stats down while under fire was a hell of a thrill and I started trying out different things. Turns out Drake's dollar store dropship is a great trainer craft for doing unorthodox landings. Definitely give it a go! You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish in a short amount of time.

@@EzeSepe I do have to say while it's certainly doable, the UI for decoupled mode could be better. I used to do the racing mode ages ago mostly in decoupled, and I always found I lost my markers really easily. (doesn't help that the Arena Commander racetracks have very bright blue backgrounds and I was flying ships with bluish UI). Much experimentation showed me that decoupled mode would work vastly better if both the UI and control scheme were different. But I don't expect either to happen, so we work with what we have. The UI improvements would be to have a permanently visible vector indicator showing ship movement relative to orientation. This should be near the targeting pip. It's especially important to know if you're flying sideways. Basic idea would be to draw a line vector from the pip in the direction of flight relative to your orientation, with the length of the line relative to the speed. Movements that are along the axis your ship is facing are less important, though you'd still want to be able to tell at a glance whether you are going forward or backwards relative to your facing. Key point of this UI vs the existing one is that it's in a fixed location on the HUD thus you don't have to scan your entire field of view to tell which way you're going. (though the existing marker shouldn't be removed, since it has other benefits that my alternate UI idea would not provide, such as being able to see if you're going to impact something in the environment. The control changes are more subjective, but a LOT of racing attempts taught be that what I'm trying to do 99% of the time is control the direction of the movement vector of the ship + the orientation of the ship. The current control scheme essentially amounts to firing the thrusters directionally along the 6 sides of the ship. this is entirely relative to the orientation of the ship. Yet what I'm trying to do when flying decoupled is not related to the ship's orientation most of the time. Thus what I realised (and this also makes twin stick setups easier to make sense of) is that a better arrangement would be to have two control axes that don't cause lateral movement of the ship directly, but rather rotate the ship's motion vector in a consistent way around the ship. Thus one set of controls is used to control the physical orientation of the ship, the other is used to control the heading of the motion vector. (this requires that there be a completely arbitrary reference heading for the motion vector, but that doesn't matter so much; It can be set at the orientation the ship has when you take off, and just maintained relative to that.) This is quite a different control scheme to what we have, but it's essentially what I'm doing mentally when flying decoupled. (except with the current setup I have to keep a mental note of my ship's orientation to know which thruster sets to fire to achieve the desired effect.) I don't expect either change to come to star citizen, so... Learn to deal with what we have. But it's a useful mental model even then. Think of it as rotating two arrows around. One arrow is the physical orientation of the ship. The other points in the direction the ship is moving. It's 'decoupled' because you can control both of these fully independently...

You've got two options here actually. If you go to settings, disabling proximity assist will help apply stronger braking when closer to the ground. I kind of enjoy PA though, so I like to feather the Couple/Decouple key multiple times, giving me quick braking and then switching back before it affects my trajectory too badly.

Excellent tutorial video! I must admit though, I use the same technique, but would never consider landing as hard. Much of those hard landing feel more like an accurate crash for me personally! Less than 2m/s on actual touch down is my usual goal, and ideally with a perfect 'stop' just a meter above the pad before the final touchdown. Not sure how many people prefer which way round, but it actually doesn't matter as this is still a very relevant and well done tutorial and people can easily adjust the speeds.

Your landing technique is masterful and very impressive. For me, landing the Carrack at the spaceport in Area 18 is still a right royal pain in the *ss. The problem is that there's very little margin for error as the Carrack is effectively the same length and width as the hangar door entryway. If I'm lucky, the ship can be directed in (awkwardly) nose first, but I'll usually end up clipping one of the folded fins at the end of the wings against the side of the hangar as I enter. What we really need are better proximity readouts in the instrumentation/HUD (Or external camera relays) so we can judge our landings better. I hope CIG addresses this sooner rather later.
@JackAxton
@JackAxton 4 жыл бұрын
The Carrack is a victim of its own heft. The current hangar models are ridiculously tiny and need to either be increased or modified to have a landing pad lift feature, similar to Elite Dangerous' hangars. The current model is unrealistically difficult for a majority of pilots and you would never ask a helicopter pilot in a real life setting to fly in to a boxed hangar that has about 10 feet of clearance for them on any one side. I use the same technique with the Caterpillar, where you go in nose first and sort of "slot in" like you're putting batteries in a Game Boy, but the Cat benefits from being skinny. A larger ship like the poor Carrack struggles to fit at all angles and I hope they see that as a reason to either enlarge or redo the entire landing experience for hangars.
@1ChilledDude
@1ChilledDude 4 жыл бұрын
@@JackAxton It's the width of the tail section that's the main issue when landing in boxed hangars. Reassuring to know I'm not the only one experiencing these issues. Admittedly, I always try to land the ship from a 1st person viewpoint to stay true to realism. Obviously, it's possible to tweak the ship into the hangar from a 3rd person view, but I'm not a fan of breaking immersion to land a ship. The larger hangar entryways will be a great help certainly, but I feel we should by necessity be able to land all ships from within the cockpit with the proper instrumentation to make that possible.

About the "airstrip-like" landings: if you're going for realism, you would want to flare (raise your nose right above a completely parallel position) so that the rear legs touch down first, making your landing more stable, and reducing the possibility that you land on your front leg, causing you to lose balance and swing off to one side source: been flying RL flight simulators for years, and have studied how to land properly

Thank you! I only wish that frame rates would cooperate sometimes. You go to do a landing and it ends up being smoother than your frames.

OMG!!! You did it man!!! I am so proud of you son... All the money I spent for your schooling paid back Jack!... LMAO... Now seriously... thank you very much for putting such a nice video together... very clear and easy to follow... now we know your secret and we can proliferate the knowledge. Will you do a part 2 at some point? This was good but in a couple of months we will need more. Thanks Jack!

I'll probably end up having to do a part 2, especially as new flight models release and handling changes between patches. Hopefully things don't change too much though, I enjoy being able to do what I do.

What a fabulous video mate!! As a recent enlistee, this first few days I have crashed a ship full of loot A LOT. Your vid has really demystified to most anxious part of flying for me and given me new confidence to keep trying. Congratulations, you got the sub AND the bell inside 10 mins. Most impressive, young jedi. I have one criticism, which is: you never say how to enter and exit decoupled mode, but that's super minor. Once again, thanks man!!!

Thank you man! I appreciate it, a lot! And...and yeeeaah, I am sorry about forgetting to list the command for it. CIG changes it all the time, I swear. I think the current command now is...Alt+C? Which is...eugh, dual bind? Ew. I'm still on ancient 2016 keybinds where decouple is Capslock. I am glad it helped though! I need to make a 2.0 video now that the UI has been updated.

@@JackAxton actually that's a good opportunity to ask: has CIG modified the effect a little? I'm finding that if I approach a landing pad from nadir direction, when I flip my nose to be parallel with the pad, I seem to have some momentum that carries me forward in the parallel direction. Its screwing me up, particularly in atmospheres (I'm sticking to deliveries on microtech for the minute, only been playing for two days). Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
@JackAxton
@JackAxton 2 жыл бұрын
You're not doing anything wrong, but Microtech and its moons have an unusually thick atmosphere. With your landing gear down, your ship will do its best to counteract gravity, but it won't account for atmosphere or wind resistance. At the same time, rotating in atmosphere will cause a bit of deviation like you mentioned. A flip and roll might be the best way to minimize that, but I tend to stay away from the Microtech area because of the winds and such.

@@JackAxton huh, interesting...so I thought I was doing the safer thing by sticking around microtech, but I'm actually making things harder for myself...is that right?? haha. Ok I'll vary my areas a bit to get a feel for the difference. Do you think that using the spacebreak (currently thats X, I believe) as I make my final decoupled pitch adjustment would help with the thick atmosphere landings, or should I stay away from it?
@JackAxton
@JackAxton 2 жыл бұрын
@@kssmyw It *may* help. A lot of it depends on ship too, but I find myself sometimes just making a ton of micro adjustments and feathering both the brake and thrust. I would say that flight around Microtech is definitely more of 'hard mode'. ArcCorp's moons are pretty low atmo. If you want to play around in an area that has little to no wind, Crusader's moons will be your best bet. I'd try around there and see what you can pull off!

Mr. Axton, the flight model has been redefined. I do hope you return in 3.10 with individual videos for each ship. Or better yet, you should form an Org for flight guides and advanced instructors. I love this video, even in its obsolescence.

I'm about to load up the PTU now and relearn the flight model. In fact I might try to stream it for anyone bored enough to watch me struggle at it. I've considered making a few ship guides or reviews, this lull between patch times has had me stirring a bit but I'd like to hold off on making anything since we're about to see such an overhaul in the flight model and UI elements.
