Learning to fly is as much an accomplishment as defeating an adversary. 'Tedious,' 'restrictive,' or the most amusing to me, the ever anecdotal 'not fun.'Ī good flight sim is 'hard' by nature with significant 'consequences.' There is a learning curve, if you do not posses the skills bad things happen until you do.
Now it seems these aspects are considered undesirable. With regards to flight sims, the challenge of learning how to operate and fly an aircraft was as much a part of the game as shooting the bad guys. 'Perma-death,' create a 'character' and live with the ramification of your decisions good or bad, have only what you brought with you to the battlefield, no endless re-spawning of resources, every rock did not have gold under it. The videos, taught in true instructor pilot style, represent the most complete and detailed description of how actual carrier operations work, both in the real world and in the emerging virtual environment, and will give you a whole new appreciation for just how challenging even the most basic of carrier recoveries are for naval aviators. Yet what's most interesting is that this naval aviator's marvelously detailed explainer videos are just as fascinating for someone who has no intention of buying DCS Hornet or a gaming rig to play it as those who live and breathe combat flight simulation. But before even that happens, executing realistic carrier operations is most virtual fighter pilots' top priority, and it is more akin to mastering ballet than learning a country western line-dance.Įagle Dynamics and some of the DCS's most visible players are great about offering how-to videos for long-awaited Hornet module, but nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to the instruction one ex-Hornet driver turned instructor pilot has brought to DCS's fanatical gaming community. But acquiring the software and having a computer setup to run it is nothing compared to figuring out how to make the Hornet sting.
