Cruise ship?
EHM-1627 Chris:
one of the challenges on an old version of FS was to land a cessna on a carier!!! this was great fun, you could land ok...but parking was a no go!!!
EHM-1507 Manuel:
I tried that carrier with the lear45 and even got it down there, if you go touch down at stall speed, but it took me very much tries, but really great fun!
EHM-1617 Iain:
Yep, it was FSFW95.
I had mastered getting the Cessna down, full flap, 60 knots, hold down the brakes before touch down so they come into effect straight away. I had also done the second in this challenge, to get a lear35A down. I used the weird technique of spoilers out, full flap, gear out, parking brakes on, speed about 105 (it will fly like this, nose high). I would set this up on approach, then it was just jam in the reversers straight away, and it was possible to stop right at the end of the parking bit, not on the runway though. Cos the tailhook systems and catapault release systems were not modelled.
It was possible to take off a cessna on the runway section, start right at the end, full flap, brakes on, full power, release brakes, you'll get about 40knots by the end. You'll lose most of the 20feet or so of alt that you have off the deck, then level out, then you gradually clean up and build up speed til you can climb. I once managed 5 consecutive circuits of the carrier, with full stop landings and non assisted takeoffs before crashing.
Brings back memories, eh...
EHM-1627 Chris:
yeah that stuff was great...you don't really get that cool type of chalege on FS2002...dunno bout 2004 though.
Microsoft should bring them back i feel...they were great.
EHM-1506 Emre:
Yeah yeah!! Scenarios was great... Have you ever fly a challange that you make an ILS landing when you are flying blind. Everthing was set to zero. ;) Everywhere is white and you are not avle to see anything. You are with your instrument panel. :) And you have to land because you are run out of fuel... :) I always crashed the plane... :)
