Regarding the TG DLC, "if it isn't from Scotland, it's $#%&!" The whole thing is very playstation-like, or Xbox if you prefer. It would seem that MS put time into this offering, when so many other bit and bobs in the sim are poorly executed. Oh well.

. . . .or a repaint of an existing model?

5001st out of 7.9 billion is nothing to be ashamed of. :-) I don't think I'll bother with anything else connected to this DLC. I took the Darkstar for a taxi and take-off at Edwards, but exited after a few minutes. I can understand how it might appeal to people, though.

Ditto, so I'm just 5001th in the world... The carrier landing was well worth the cost, especially in VR, looking forward to doing it in the Tomcat in the future :) You can get a bit of free flight and e.g. visit Miramar first, and fly around the carrier (it is moving though not fast) but you get 'wave off' if you pass the carrier which ends the mission :( As does missing the wire and getting a bolter, would be nice to go around and try again but that's a limitation of all landing challenges. EDIT there is a mod at https://flightsim.to/file/33841/top-gun-carrier that adds the carrier as an airfield in free flight, it's a kludge so it doesn't move...arrestor wires work but don't release.

Are other people seeing artefacts behind the F-15 when it passes in front of clouds in this video ?

I think I'd have to be in a coma to be less interested in Top Gun 2, but I did try this carrier landing challenge. Surprisingly, I caught the third wire on my first attempt, but lost points for not going to military power when I hit the deck. Rather good fun - I might get the Hornet in DCS and try it out there.

It was the Navy that pressed for them; ACM Sir Michael Beetham was not convinced the Vulcan would achieve a 'hit' given the bombing accuracy of the 1940' s kit on board the Vulcan ( good article in Aeroplane magazine recently) . The Buccaneer was considered, but ruled out due to its engine oil consumption/ hour vs the size of oil tank on engines. Ttfn Pete

My mach 9.64 ride!!

If you post a link to a web page with RESTRICTED ACCESS (need registration etc...) then you should at least provide a basic summary of the information contained in there, so that people can decide if it's worth it to register in there to access the rest of the information. It's called "common sense".

Nice landing! Like a fly on a horse's @ss!! :D Priller

:encouragement: Bravo! Getting the most captivating action screenies possible can be as challenging as the action itself, with all the angling, timing, pausing and positioning, etc.

Hi all, Have we lost Ted Miller (Crossram)?

Yet another P51 ? JMC

I was about to try and copy the info here, but it's not possible. It's even a closed group. Why the hell is that necessary? What's wrong with good old sharing? Not that gliding in MSFS is a state secret, right? Priller

Great vapor and sound! :applause: Thank you, Zsolt

Well done Pete, i see im going to have to make you work harder :ernaehrung004:

I always understood that some of the FAA pilots resentment of the BB raids was the beefing up of defense's around Stanley, making life more difficult for the Sea Harrier force. As far as i know, the Navy never had any say in the mission's, it was a political decision from London.

Sorry, but their are many people who wish to be spoon-fed everything these days. Maybe that's how you treat people, I don't. If you want to go ahead and wipe the guys arse for him go ahead, you are free to do it. If you and the original poster have an issue with FB, again that is not my issue -if you really think that is how you keep things 'private' these days, so be it........ live in your own delusion, again not my issue. I will refrain from posting anything here again if it causes you to come out with such petty and immature remarks - another moderator where the petty power they possess over people has gone to their head and they feel to stick their nose in when its not warranted. Goodbye.

Looks Good, Paul and Co. !!P Can't tell ya how long I wanted to fly an N3N in flight sim... Best of luck on your upcoming release - I'm sure the folks will love it.
