July 14, 201213 yr Well, I mostly flew the NGX around Germany, Ukraine and all around Europe without using the HGS, since no european airline ordered it for their aircraft, I though I'd give it I try after hearing Rober saying how much work went into this particular system of the NGX. Well, I'm not going to talk much, I let the pictures speak for themself... Yup, this is a PMDG 737-600NGX on the USS Nimitz Some details: 1,5 tons of fuel, no pax, no payload, short field package installed, no engine derate, carbon brakes, HGS installed. The takeoff was not the problem, an usual short field takeoff with flaps 15. Here we go... :P You got to have some balls for stuff like that, approach at mca. (98-100kts), full flaps, no autobrake. I applied full braking just before touching down and as soon as the main gear hit the ground, I kicked in the reversers and to my surprise came to a stop, just like an F18, except that I had no tailhook! :LMAO: Just at that point. Note the 25kts ground speed, that's due to the fact that the carrier was moving with 25kts. If you are looking for a real challenge, try it. But do not cheat with a 40+ kts headwind, I used absolutely no headwinds, just the carrier movement. Go and try this at home! B) With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
July 15, 201213 yr Maybe the Navy will fit their P8's with a tailhook based on your findings. lol AJ Pongress
July 16, 201213 yr Oh, wow. Now set up RVR as on CATIII (depends on airport). For example set visibility 100m or 1/16sm and fly manually this. Rostyslav S Wanna fly 737NGX with turbulence?
July 16, 201213 yr Before trying any of these approaches, I recommend a double shot of whiskey Ralf Medernach

July 16, 201213 yr Brilliant shots! I think there may well be a C-2 replacement in the future afterall... Patrick Houghton
July 17, 201213 yr When I am setup for an ILS landing, I have a question about the AIII mode on the HGS. I will be hand flying the approach, but will have all the ILS dialed in to see where to go on the HGS. A few times through the approach the HSG will switch from guiding me where to go and switch to "NO AIII". When it does this, I have no idea where to go.... What causes this? Thanks! <---------------> Mike Murawski
July 18, 201213 yr switch to "NO AIII". http://forum.avsim.n...s-cat3-landing/ And yes, it's definitely wrong topic to speak about your problem. Rostyslav S Wanna fly 737NGX with turbulence?
July 18, 201213 yr gr8 shots btw...the 73 on the carrier looks like a parade :) Charan KumarFSX/XPX vPilotVATSIM ZOA and Oceanic Controller (Pacific) Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has - Margaret Mead
