Twin Otter land on Aircraft Carrier | San Francisco | recorded in Virtual Reality

Great. Well done.

Music off for landing though please. (Aircraft fx only).

thanks for that

landing on a moving carrier shouldn’t be any hardship for the Twotter. They even landed a C130 on one of the old non-nuclear carriers.
Have you tried setting the Twotter down on a stationary carrier?

yes you are right, the music is too loud in some places. I only noticed after the video was online.

no, the landing is really not difficult for a twinotter. I didn’t even have reverse throttle on. I haven’t tried stationary yet, but it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Just be clear I mean music completely off (not aircraft sounds), for the landing segment. Adds to the tension. (It’s an old film trick). Then bring it back in on success if you want. :slight_smile:

Great video.

The angled landing deck of a Nimitz-class carrier is about 800ft long. Considering the Twotter needs a bit more than half the length of the runway at Saba (1312ft) to come to a standstill with reverse thrust that should still be doable without problems.

It’s the twin otter, you don’t want to hear it.

Also good choice on the carrier as landing on water currently isn’t ideal.
