Quite penguin : turn the objectives on via the top menu and follow that. It takes you through everything.

Well I finally managed to get the Dark Star up to mach 7 at 150,000 feet. Just donāt attempt to tight turn at that speed is all I can say. Lesson learned.

You can also have objectives whilst flying the thing. It tells you to do things one step at a time and.points to the buttons you have to press, what pitch to be at whilst flying itā¦

Ho realistic is the Carrier landing mission compared to the realife? Because it feels very easy to land on the carrier
And i dont find any formations flight misson. And mission to intercept an aircraft.
I would like to see missions like these which i have described

Well, flying the Darkstar is cool, thereās quite a range of experiences now in the sim between crossing the US in this one and crossing the channel in the Bleriot

To fly a deep route. So, through the canyons. Instead, you are given a destination, which is best approached on a straight route in order not to collect any penalty points. Ok, just off the ground, but uphill, downhill, rather than operating under the radar deep in the valleys. Dumb.

Right. But will Asobo document the moving carrier, landable deck, and arresting for those third parties can use them? So much is still undocumented for devs, I worry.
Iād love elaboration as to why this isnāt the right time for aircraft carriers. Russiaās only carrier is stuck in refit, so carriers arenāt being used in the tragic Ukraine invastion. Do they just mean because thereās still core sim stuff that needs more development? Thatās cool. But if itās because of geopolitical events (glances at human history) then weāll never get them.

Where is the Afterburner switch in the new plane?

Out of memory I would say max turn rate is at about 330 knots.
The faster you get, the wider the turn radius.

It flys well for a certain extent; autopilot is crap but rolls are easy and doesnāt risk your aircraft dropping 5k feet

Cool package, but I will stay at my good old GA planes and gliders on the long term.
The hypersonic flight is awesome, but unfortunately did not have time to do the full challenge, just managed to reach Mach 9, looked around (God bless the engineers behind head tracking technology!) and left the flight, because itās getting late here for playing around.
I wonder how to land that thing. :))) Sadly, I have to wait until the weekend to get some sim time again.

Will we get official carrier takeoff and landing in world map? That would be fun.

DCS is a different beast! Took me several attempts before executing a near perfect landing on the carrier!

Many thanks to the devs for this DLC, it certainly looks like a well polished release and seems to run well for me. I may even be tempted to come back to use it again and improve my times/scores. Yes, itās mainly arcade, but itās free, well polished, entertaining and the fast pace low altitude challenges at least offer you a chance to improve your own scores. Plus a new hypersonic concept aircraft to try out too - cool. I didnāt have any preconceptions about this release, and I donāt ordinarily fly the FA-18 in sim, so maybe thatās the best state of mind to be in to be pleasantly surprised and enjoy this DLC.
