VTOL VR - Case 1 Recovery Carrier Landing Tutorial

A step by step guide on performing the case 1 recovery pattern for a carrier landing.
If you just want to copy the notes, here they are below:
Start offset right of carrier
Speed: 500 km/h (310 mph) (270 kn)
Altitude: 250 m (820 ft)
Heading same as carrier
Hook Down
Look at carrier & check if clear
After passing carrier, maintain heading, speed, and altitude for 10-15 seconds
Break left at 2G
Maintain altitude
At 450 km/h (280 mph) (242 kn)
Flaps full
Gear down
Continue 2G turn until you've done a complete 180
Roll out wings level
Descend to 190 m (623 ft)
Slow down to 320 km/h (200 mph) (172 kn)
8 degrees AOA
Begin turn when you see the round down of carrier
Turn left at a bank of 40 to 45 degrees
Vertical speed -10 m/s (-1968 fpm)
Speed 320 km/h (200 mph) (172 kn)
Halfway of turn, peek at carrier and adjust accordingly
In groove
Maintain 8 degrees AOA
Keep meatball in the middle
Place velocity vector on the right of the runway
In close
Slowly move the velocity vector to the
centreline of runway
Push forward throttle upon landing

such a calm voice, and nice tutorial. i finally landed on the carrier after many attempts

I would like to try landing on the carrier :(

27 attempts. My first landing was because of this. Followed this to the T and landed. THANK YOU

[@lajulasse4332]

Excellent, also you can use the two parallel blue lines on the NAV display to line up from further distance. Using the speed hold function of the AP also helps a lot, just set it to 150/160 kt in landing configuration. Then you just have your velocity vector to worry about. One common mistake is to throw the aircraft down on the deck as soon as you’re above it, but that usually makes you hit too short, bounce and miss the wires. Just follow the ball and it will take you to the exact right spot.

[@indianmarshmello.]

lowkey, better advice than the video, not that this video is bad. but your comment is to the point of landing, while this video is more of a proper roleplay style of landing. you have a good one and stay safe :)

[@indianmarshmello.]

also when i say "roleplay" i mean like he gets into the pattern, stays at altitude for upwind, crosswind, downwind, base, and final.

[@indianmarshmello.]

and all that

[@bits_of_bryce]

Amazing and concise! I realize now how much I've been doing wrong.

[@ricomotions5416]

finally a good tutorial i always get ''waved off''

[@Exiler652]

Awesome training video, just started playing VTOL recently, a massive difference compared to what I am used to in DCS World. But easier and quicker to play and get use to. I play VTOL when I don't have much time, and DCS World when I have plenty of time.

[@luisluis-ro1ig]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I have spent 3 hours to land properly following your instructions. I have crashed more than I would have wanted.....

[@MrScottymas1985]

Fantastic tutorial, it's helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@Coolbre3zegaming]

Smooth like butter. You made that look very easy.

Got a first three wire and it was great THANK YOU MAN!

[@TheDrumtracks]

Thank you sir for such a great tutorial!

[@XxXxXJacoxXxX]

Great work mate! Gonna try this later. NIce vid :D

[@wombat_pickle1674]

Also, request landing on the carrier the deck light will light up to indicate if your too high low or perfect (green good, yellow to high, and red is high high)

[@Unknown_Ooh]

So what color is too low?

[@wombat_pickle1674]

@@Unknown_Ooh for being to low its the same thing just reverse so yellow is low and red is low low.

[@thamghoul5719]

Excellent, thank you

[@goose1146]

That was a solid 3rd wire man A little dcs for ya

[@starman4346]

When you go into the left-hand brake, navy pilots (transfers surprisingly well) will do a 180-degree turn at 1% G of their airspeed, so at 350kts (what you should be doing) you turn at 3.5G, decreasing as you lose airspeed.

[@ascherlafayette8572]

That's one teqnique, but I've found a more consistent 2.3g turn makes for a more accurate rollout

[@starman4346]

i applaud you my friend.. the way i landed on the carrier wasted so much time and left me in a vulnerable position of attack thank you my man

best intro :)

[@TheCorship]

Today I fucked up the landing, but I had a so slow approach that it still kinda worked and I landed without damage and without the hook conneckting. Triple A simulation.

[@HomeDefender30]

Jesus I’m never going to be able to land on that damn carrier

[@bull3tz4breakfast79]

Same I've tried for a long time

[@gerlagerweij]

@@bull3tz4breakfast79 My main problem was going too fast. take it down to about 170 knts...

[@Hamachingo]

Bwhahah, those first 45 seconds are gold!

[@300kdping]

thank you

[@hudsonr.218]

One thing that is slightly incorrect is your statement about AoA. It could be different in VTOL than DCS, but you should not aim for a specific speed. Instead, only focus on the AoA. A fully loaded aircraft will be going much faster than one with no stored and fumes in the tank. There could be a 20-30 knot discrepancy in the speed of the aircraft. This is why pilots always fly by AoA and not a specific speed for carrier ops. Other than that, great flying and good tutorial.

[@TheDrumtracks]

Thanks for this clarification!

[@wiljanserrano6545]

I might send this to jrllotak2 so he can reply

[@delayed_control]

This depends on your flight control system. In the F-18 the aircraft simulates the behaviour of an aerodynamically stable aircraft in landing configuration by holding AoA instead of its regular "roll and pitch rate" mode. This is not the case here.

[@samuelcruz5279]

Great vid. What controller are you using? Oculus or dedicated flight stick?

[@ryanz2001]

I love this game. You should do more videos. You're clearly an Ace pilot.

[@tixomoments4046]

Please more videos!

[@owensks]

Really good video for only 66 subscribers

[@Snipurss]

I can't land on a carrier or refuel midair to save my life. Never was a water guy anyway, normal runways suit me just fine

[@rkarlson0083]

0:41 made me laugh so hard idk why also thanks fro the help

[@mtfgamma6257]

My biggest issue is I get a good glide slope according to the meatball. but, my hook never catches the wire

[@HuDz1966]

So is it good practice to have the waterline at around +5 degrees? Slightly flared.

[@jrllotak2]

Yes essentially so long as the flight path marker is around -3 degrees from the artificial horizon line. More accurately, have the angle of attack be 8 degrees. This will ensure that the hook catches the arresting wires when you land on them.

[@agentpickles108]

how did you get the camera at the beginning

[@Edibom]

More vtol vr pls

[@KastaRules]

I am getting this game just to see how different it is from landing on a carrier in DCS with a HOTAS.

[@BuddySpike23]

Nice video, Y did you stop making videos

[@wiljanserrano6545]

School probs, he told me he got bored of it I think

[@michaelbehm6249]

How do you eyeball your AoA? That’s been my biggest issue and I haven’t figured out a reliable way to guesstimate it

[@jrllotak2]

The α symbol on the left side of the hud shows your aoa. You can also guesstimate it using the waterline and velocity vector symbols. Place the waterline symbol at 5 degrees above horizon, and place the velocity vector around 3 degrees below the horizon.

[@kolddk]

I tried it last night using full afterburner... didn´t work tho!!!

[@gerlagerweij]

about 50 attempts without any tutorial.... no good After I watched this tutorial, bingo! First attempt

whats the intro song name

How are the flight dynamics innthos game?

[@yo_homie]

HELP, i keep boltering, i brake have slow speed and use hooks but no use

[@DowzerWTP72]

I'm looking at getting a Gaming Laptop purely so I can play VR, and purely so I can play this game!

[@TheNbc27]

I have no idea how you can keep it at -10, if my velocity vector was sitting there it'd be in the 1000's already I feel like.

[@ossianm9821]

intro song?

Now look up DCS Case 1 recovery.

Thanks! very useful guide! It's a pity this guide is not in Russian, but I understood everything

[@jhvgjmnvg9942]

Wtf is the meatball and why does it keep saying call the ball or something like that and then tell me to wave of and return to holding pattern I’m doing this exactly as you said to but it’s not working

[@ohmydog9171]

the meatball is the ball on the bottom of your hud

How do you get those outside angles with the s-cam? Looks great!

[@feraligatorade99]

my main issue is I keep coming in too fast

[@dominicdeluca9164]

i just whip a 360 at 11gs and burn my speed and come down at about 320 and im fine

how u record like this

[@DFX2KX]

@@hip6543 The 'Meatball" is the nickname for part of the Carrier's landing aid, you can see the HUD version of it on the lower left of the HUD at 3:55 and the green light at end of the runway that is the actual device. The ball being above the middle, you're high, reduce power a bit, below, you're low. you'll see lights to the left and right if you're off center, which you only line up right at the end.
