Disclaimer: This tutorial is not perfect, I'll probably re-do it at a later date once I get more familiar with the aircraft and its procedures but I hope it helps you guys out. Please forgive any mistakes.
Fuck those people complaining, that was a good lesson thank you !
We are running Open Beta @ckatlinga
Still good enough :)
Your tutorials are awesome /)

why is no one talking abt how hilariously hard this is
I mean it’s not easy IRL lol
"The Tomcat has a very good Au'Oh Thra'Oh."
LOL.
_"Ottle Throttle!"_ Great tutorial and great accent.

Roger, ejecting!
This is seriously one of the most brilliant Case 1 landings I have seen on UA-cam, can't tell you how many times I've watched/studied this. One thing that blows my mind is how the heck do you get on speed and trimmed out so fast after completing the initial 180 break back towards the carrier?! You get dialed in so quickly and so precisely! Is there heavy use of DLC, or is that purely from trimming and managing throttle? I always run into the issue with struggling to keep the nose from taking a huge dive and losing too much altitude after completing the turn and trying to get on speed. Never quite sure when to get back on the throttle and how much to give. You do it flawlessly man, so many things happening in such a short window of time! Truly impressive! Cheers!
I prefer to your tutorials over the reapers. That guy is too excited when he talks and I feel you explain it better. Cheers man.
Gotta love all the info the reapers put out, just frustrating how you can't get through a video without finding 3 mistakes pointed out in the comments. Doesn't help that half the videos are shot in early access either.
His tutorials are alright but watching him play with other people is infuriating the guy is a jackass
@@jmax8692 bet you touch yourself to caps voice
me: lookin good feelin good let’s land this thing
*forgets to set hook*
Bolter Bolter Bolter! :(
Same thing happened to me in the hornet except my gear wasn't down
@@FlumpFlibbus LMFAOOOOL
Ewen McGregor stars in this gritty drama about a young Scottish heroin addict who becomes a naval aviator. With Robert Carlyle as Meg Ryan and Rab C Nesbitt as Goose....
excellent landing. finally someone who notices (and actually cares about) that weird E looking thingy :)
“In case there’s a woman on board..”
Me: where is he going with this?
“We want to make sure we look as cool as possible, like cool volleyball players.”
Me: ohhhhh nice xD good one lol
Iceman is already oiled up. You can be his wingman anytime, Mav.
In the fleet out on deployment or doing work-ups with the CvBG, most of the time there will be a guard ship stationed 1000yds directly aft which in addition to being there to pick up anyone who goes in the drink is also there for a quick indexing while landing. You should be coming out of the 90 just forward of the duty guard and is especially useful while doing quals.
Finally a proper case 1. Thanks Maverick, outstanding!
Wow, your tutorials help a lot! Much better than other tutorials (looking at you Grim Reapers)
I still only catch 4-Wires, but hey Jester and I are still alive
Grim Reapers tutorials are quite bad in general imho.
I found this tutorial informative and easy to listen to. The humor caused me to chuckle in places! I think a perfect combination of info and fun. Thanks for creating it!.
You seriously need to upload more content. After your Harrier landing tutorial, you're my favourite "instructor" in DCS. We NEED more content from you! :)
Good stuff Mav, getting it down nicely
This video would have been fantastic if you showed your control inputs so we could see how much throttle and trim was used.
You just helped another newbie learn to Case I. Brilliant video tutorial. Easy to understand if you know how to fly the Cat even with rookie skills. I'll be sure to share this with people who want to learn right away!
Bruhhh you make that look so damn easy and after starting dcs this weekend past I know it is gonna take a lot of practice to get to that point but this video helps TREMENDOUSLY! Thanks Mav! Keep up the good flying!
What a cracking tutorial. I've just bought heatblur IFE Tomkitty and super carrier pro for flight sim. This helps ne loads. Thank you.
Great to hear!
I think this is the best Case I recovery tutorial on here. I used to do these over and over with the F-14 mod (F-15 cockpit) a couple years ago, ready to jump back into DCS for the Cat. I was an 80's kid, this module is a dream
"You're Goddamn right Jester!" Had me laughing!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It’s been immensely more useful than any other tutorial vid I’ve seen so far. 🖖😀
Great guide just got my first two consecutive landings following this. :)
I swear to fucking neptune my AOA never stays the same, I'm gonna trim it, then 5 seconds later it goes off trim, there's gotta be seagulls playing with my tailerons or something
Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that shortly after making this comment, I have indeed mastered the F-14 at landing, and it's never been a problem since, I even get 3 wires!
It's doable guys, you really just gotta tame her that's all, or maybe she tames you..
This is just eye-watering and perhaps a DCS "First" -- A CASE I video before (not after) Early Release. Well Done, Maverick!
6:40 That very important wing sweep as you pass the ship...... the chic on the deck might see it........ man that is hilarious :)
I've just begun to trial the F-14 once again; your talent as an instructor is huge. One of my favorite documentaries of all time is "Speed and Angels" (available now on UA-cam), about the last two US Navy pilots trained to fly the F-14........ as I'm following your tutorials I appreciate even more the challenges those pilots faced.
The perfect landing of all time in dcs, no explain needed
Great video, I appreciate it! Getting in speed in the downwind is the sticking point for me. Feel like I trim too much nose up and end up floating to too high an altitude, need more practice I guess
Still a great example in 2024. Thanks for sharing this!
You're very welcome!
you see the wings move out in the rear view mirror!! so fkin cool man!
Amazing Landing Performance. Thanks for sharing.
Very very good landing and thank you very much for this tutorial !
You can also see the DLC popped up in the mirrors, no need to give your neck a cramp. I give them a quick flick up and down to make sure they're operating properly while checking the top mirror myself. Great vid!
Man I wish Meg Ryan would have seen that 3 wire!
Great balls of fire, that was a beautiful landing!
id love to see the input visualization (the ctrl+enter one). Id be nice to get a rough idea for how much power/roll/rudder is used, it'd def help me land
Awesome video. Simple clear, to the point!
What a great video! THanks a bunch! This is a massive help.
Question: You are not using auto throttle in this video correct? Also, on the final turn towards the back of the carrier how do you keep your onspeed AOA so perfect? Are you primarily managing throttle, or constantly trimming as well to keep the E bracket centered? Much use of DLC? My issue is that right at the last second when I level out from the turn just as I'm about to reach the deck my AOA goes totally out of whack. Do you have a recommendation in terms of keeping it simple / focusing on just certain control elements and leaving others alone? I think I might be messing with too many things and making it overly complicated. But at the same time, every adjustment with the Tomcat then requires re-adjustment of some other area. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much! Still the absolute best Case-1 vid in the Tomcat on UA-cam, hands down!
Aaaaand subbed. Great teaching man.
This is my first module purchase on DCS since I’ve always been interested in it but I didn’t really feel like emptying my wallet but since the F-14 has always been my all time favorite plane, I had to get it and since I’ve never flown properly in DCS I’m super bad, although I did get my first carrier landing last night (albeit super rough) I’m pretty hyped for getting good at the f-14 over the next few days/weeks
Same with me!
Appreciate you going over the ottle throttl mate.
That’s otta problem brother 🤣
Nice landings! I remember watching your F-18 case 1's. Looks like all that Hornet time has really helped, these landings look a lot better than your initial Hornet attempts :)
Agreed, being intimately familiar with where I 'should' be really helped out :)
Thanks for the CASE I sample - it will helps a lot.
I need to watch this 10 more times
Amazing vid, would be great to have the input screen up so we could see the inputs, I can't even get close to this and I suspect it's power related
cramthelan I hear you big dog! I’m going to do another one that will be more accurate to how the real guys did it. Should take me a few weeks tho
@@104thMaverick Fantastic! You're the best. Look forward to it :)
@@104thMaverick Hey man. Did you get to do the other landing video?
Wow mate, fantastic approach and 3-wire trap, it looks so easy in your vid XD
Just FYI IRL if you rested your hands on the throttles while engaged it would only take 5lbs of pressure to disengage them. It was actually a check we did often for auto throttles so resting your hands on them was probably not a good idea.
Thanks for the heads up sir, great advice and always fantastic to hear from a real Tomcat aviator
Please keep making these this entertaining! You forced me to subscribe.
Great video. You nailed the 1st rule of being a Fighter Pilot: Look good! :) Altitude and airspeed are over rated.
Just perfect!! Well done!
Thanks a lot!
Perfect, Awesome, amazing, informative and TO THE POINT! Great job!
Liked and subscribed. I hope there are some volleyball loving hotties on the carrier next time I sweep my wings and do a perfect CASE I thanks to you!
This was a very nice and useful tutorial! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
- How do you set the course line (boat direction)?
- So you just move the stick slightly up down left right in auto mode? I have to try that...
- Except looking good and impressing the girls on deck, why manual and 68 degrees wings?
-There's a course knob on the HSD frame
-Basically what we shouldn't do in the Hornet... :D
-It adds drag while pulling AoA and you want to slow down in the break
Funny thing is I got better when I realise the pitch ladder isn't the same as the hornet. In my practice I forced it to a -3 glide slope and accident happen. This pitch ladder thing is very confusing when there isn't any tutorial for it.
Yes, perplexing isn’t it. Definitely takes some getting used too 🫣
Amazing just started to get into the case 1 with the tomcat and hornet because honestly I didn’t think It would matter but it’s a massive help cheers
You make this look easy and I feel completely incapable-Meg laughs at me every time and Joker is constantly telling me to tell his wife and kids he loves them. ughh.
Love your video. I tried exactly how you described it and ended up head butting the ship more often than not. Keep your awesome work up. I will improve
Cheers. It’s great having these guides ready for launch. I’m probably still going to spend the first few hours, threading her in between Dubai’s skyscrapers though 🤣🤣🤣
Would have loved to see the control box in bottom left but great tutorial.
An ACLS video would be superb.
Awesome freaking video. Just landed my first F14 on the carrier but came in way to hot and low. LSO marked me for no proper communicaiton also. Now I know.
Not sure what impresses me more, the carrier landing or that accent!
Wings swept for the break. Got it. LMAO. You're the man.
2:02 - most crucial part. get this right first or dont even try.
You guys always make it look so easy...
Great tutorial, Maverick. I'll be sure to have this video open tomorrow.
Serval question maverick
1 how do you maintain on speed whilst the rpm is around 90%, for at 90% rpm the aircraft would accelerate for which would rise the E bracket over over 10 AoA making it unreachable , for me is usually 85%~86%rpm
2how do you ensure stable banking and on speed while the aircraft is in 120 knots extreme low speed, and still having steady glide slope
3 the dlc is highly disruptive to aoa and on speed, but in you video, there is no such sign
4 in manual, dlc are designed to control sink rate without using throttle, did you use both throttle and dlc on on final approach? If is, how do you still ensure sinking while having an 90% high rpm?
if you don’t mind, please consider remake a video that could show your stick movement as well as the mirror to help us learn about your control. you have so far the BEST carrier landing in UA-cam
Savage job, bro!
You were totally spotting the deck!!
cool story fam
LOL a female on the deck - classic.
Always a helpful video.
Glad you think so!
big fan of the au-o thro-o
I hear you big dog
God damn beautiful landing! But should have buzzed the tower first!
Love the tutorial and the Scottish accent.
Very important step there at 6.44 :D
You make it look so easy! This is the most frustrating thing ever
Try flying this pattern at altitude like 5800 ft with 5000ft being the deck a couple times. Should help with trimming and pattern checkpoints before smacking into the water
@@ml1754 I spent a whole lot of time practicing last night and I think I've got it down now! :)
Nicely done Sir ! Would you happen to have the mapping of your keys for the Tomcat available somewhere ? Thanks a lot.
I know this video is old, but it's really great to watch someone do this and have them slowly explaining things out at first and speed it up as the procedure goes on. A lot of the stuff for this procedure just barely made sense because in most cases it doesn't seem like you should have a speedbrake for landing, rely so much on weird flaps and stuff to land but seeing it in motion it makes much more sense. I know this video is old, but I do have a question. Do you possibly know why the procedure asks for wings swept back so far on the approach? Wouldn't it make more logical sense to have the wings forward for lift and to slow down? I don't know, just has always seemed odd.
The wing swept back was purely aesthetic mate, they simply did this because it looks cooler 😆
Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad the video helped.
Nice landing and you caught the 3 wire!
Mav, this is a great video. I'm working on my traps now, trying to get more proficient at them. The main issue I'm having is throttle control. I want to get good with manual throttles befor letting AUTO take over. The only thing I want to see in videos like this is a repeater for your input, so guys like me who can't quite get positions right can see where you are putting the controls at certain moments.
I'm loving the 'Cat, she really needs finesse and I'm working still on calming down my inputs.
I suppose the smarter thing to do would be to try landing on solid ground first >_>
I'll do some Live Stream CASE I sessions mate on twitch with the controls showing soon. Hopefully that will help out.
@@104thMaverick That would be great! I got my first couple 3 wires today but I went way outside NATOPS and started on the groove more like 1.2nm out instead to give myself more time to get the bird where I wanted it to be. I can get everything else sorted, but in the final 90s I tend to get swallowed up chasing the E bracket and trying to balance engine power with DLC and everything else.
Well Done Maverick!!! Great Video. Say Hi to everyone for me.😀
Thanks! Will do! Great to hear from you old boy
Awesome! Thank you!
Great instructions and a positive approach to your direction. It's my intentions in the near future to be proficient with the Tomcat, it would really help me if you could give me a recommendation on the computer size or proper graphic card, RAM ect. Looking forward to more instructional video. Good video
My specs are listed in the description if you want to take a peek sir.
RAM wise I highly suggest at least 32GB if you can stretch to it, DCS can be very RAM intensive and having only 16GB can be a slight handicap in certain servers or missions.
@@104thMaverick okay thanks for the info, and again I got alot out of your instructions. 🇺🇸
Perfect landing...👍👍👍
thank you for the video, look forward to getting the F14
Top notch! Great work. Now do it in zero visibility.
Fantastic Maverick!
au-oh fro-ole
Haha. Great video thanks a million
You make it look so easy. I find the tomcat very difficult to control when on speed. What curve do you use? X52 @25% all axis is not working so hot for me lol
Hi Paul, I use a curve of 8 when flying the Tomcat on all 3 axis. It just takes time mate, the more practice you get the better you become 💪
@@104thMaverick working diligently. Still rather new to the game and of course I pick the hardest jet to cut my teeth on lol
Great video, thank you for this. Bookmarked for tomorrow :)
Yeah outstanding video and guide dude
I literally just started playing this game, I do not understand a single thing about what you're saying xD. But I'll try to improve on the game.
Can I blame the stick? Because i could never dream of having my cat so smooth and so well trimmed. 2 wire galore.
Very well done! If you redo this tutorial could you please add your control input indicator?
Another great vid, Shreck!
Caffeine High get out ma swamp!
Very well explained
auto throttle looks awesome!
No idea you were a flight sim fan Limmy, big fan.
