This website introduces major aircrafts in GeoFS.
Landing on the aircraft carrier in GeoFS is tough but fun. The carrier is like a real Navy ship west of San Francisco. Find it in the Locations menu under Takeoff or Approach.
Use fighter jets with a tailhook. They work best with the carrier's wires that stop you fast.
F/A-18F Super Hornet – Best choice. Easy to fly and full features.
Dassault Rafale – Good handling.
F-14B Tomcat, F-16, E-2C Hawkeye – All okay, but Hawkeye is easiest for beginners.
Learn these keys:
Flaps down: Press [ or F several times
Landing gear: G
Tailhook: Z: (or b)
Throttle: + / - or numbers (9 = full)
Brakes: Spacebar
Parking brake: ;
Line Up
Fly straight toward the back of the carrier. Match the slanted deck. Use outside view to see better.
Set Up the Plane
Full flaps early.
Drop hook (Z).
Lower gear (G) before landing.
Fly at 150-180 knots (depends on the aircraft). Don't stall!
Land
Aim for the wires at the back of the deck.
Cut throttle to low when over the edge.
Touch down firm. Hook grabs wire and stops you.
Hit brakes (Space) and parking brake (;).
Practice a lot. Start with Hawkeye. Watch for wind and other players. Check YouTube videos for demos.
You will get it with time! Fly safe.
