I love the number crunching.
A semi related thought of practical note for mission devs: the carrier should never be stationary during flight operations. I’m not sure how much it effects take off with STOBAR, but 30 knots of wind over deck makes a huge difference for landing.
Nice!
Not sure what is going on with the gif preview, but direct link so people don’t miss it…
FOD Fences obstruct the airflow, disable them, they are meant for rough land bases.
WEP is a Must,
Low Fuel then meet up w/ tanker after take off.
Of course! Just wanted to test if the functionality has been modelled and it appears to be so 
Sometimes it loads for me, sometimes it says “The image is to large to display”. What’s the cap on gifs?
It gets cached on our browsers, so works for us because we have it already. I think 6MB is the limit we have set up, while this is about 20MB in raw form. The imgur ‘onebox’ used without the i. subdomain works better I think as it plays the mp4 on anything that can support it (imgur converts the upload), and that’s a much smaller resource to download/stream plus doesn’t autoplay.
e.g.this in a post (no i., plus nothing at the end)
…gives this:

As we’re without a Chuck Guide, this is very nice for re-warming up the Su-33 brain cells (well for me anyway, who hasn’t flow the thing in a while).
Is Devrim’s Su33 English Cockpit mod still the best one to use? (yeah, yeah…)
The FOD fences are truly needed in rough bases? (been back just 3 hours ago!)
Flanker-D on the new caucasus!
Well, the Russians don’t sweep theirs for FOD.
In Soviet Russia, FOD walks down YOU!
Was that… What I think it was… About 2:06 in the trailer, in formation there…?
sharp eyes, better call @BeachAV8R fast! although the tailhook seems missing 
only a single cockpit as well.
Yeah ok, but I actually meant in DCS.
Don’t know, the Su-27 and MiG-29 auto-deployed them. A skilled mission maker might do something like add a % chance of engine failure based on the animation state of the Su-33. So it is possible to make them required 
Oh cool! Thanks!
Why dress a T up in naval colors and fly it in formation in the trailer?
Nope, I’m not doing it. I’m not starting a UTG hype thread. This one was enough for me…
That is a great video. Such a good looking aircraft as well.
Good grief, the music or the landing bounces, can’t decide what I’m laughing at / loving most of all!
Definitely the music…
