DCS | Long Range Night Time Hornet Carrier Sorties | Virpil Controls

Some EPIC action on the GrayFlag Persian Gulf server in this stream, featuring two 500+nm flights from and back to the boat. On the second flight we made it back to the Tanker on fumes and just make the connection in time before running out of fuel.

Ahh the beloved Hornet gets some love again on a Maverick stream! I remember the first video of yours I watched was when the Hornet just released, on a long range daylight strike into Iran with 104th_Knight on your wing. Low level ingress as you reached land. Back then it was only iron bombs, Sparrows, CCIP and no HMD. Upon your mission egress you both were stalked, and then jumped, by a player M2000C who began chucking missiles at you from afar, followed by your fuel emergency where you barely made it to Texico with a couple hundred pounds of fuel remaining. You had to jettison pylons and other excess weight the further you flew towards the Gulf. It was a helluva mission and a great video!

I remember it well mate, great times!

Having the pair of AIM 120s on station 3 would give you better balance (per my wt. and bal. utility) and maybe visibility from the pod. I'm pretty sure the hornet will automatically add the bullseye from the ME as waypoint 59. You might also like "the way" it'll save multiple points on the map and type them in as waypoints.

[@104thMaverick]

Thanks mate I’ve heard about this waypoint 59 thing before but never looked into it, I’ll have to check it.
I do have The Way but I always forgot to use it, I don’t mind putting in things manually.

Every time I check Grayflag it’s daytime. Are the night times scheduled, do you know when they happen or are they random?

[@104thMaverick]

The server restarts every 15 hours mate, I don’t think there is any schedule for night ops you just have to catch it when it’s dark

Not sure if this comment will reach you but your last live stream "MD-11 Cargo to Innsbruck" is blocked and inaccessible. Wanted to finish watching it cause I never seen a jet get loaded up with cargo like that before. Were you using GSX to do detailed ground ops like that?

[@104thMaverick]

I was using GSX my friend yes, the full flight is available to watch on my twitch page under the VIDEOS section. The link to my twitch is in the video description

@@104thMaverick Thank you very much for replying!! I'll checkout the Twitch stream thanks
