The new Firefly made me come back to FS after a half a year without FS flying :)

FR.1 "281" of 827 NAS, early Korean war operations flying from HMS Triumph in 1950. Sources shows that the paint schemes used very a good mix of old and new. Also some painting and modding to make Triumph and carrier group (the destroyer force is not shown in the pics).

A really nice airplane. :encouragement: But...
I'm having a hard time trapping aboard a carrier without nosing over. Maybe I've lost my touch, but at around 80 kts at the ramp I'm not coming in too fast. Any slower and I'm in the water. Has anybody else had problems? Cees, how have you been doing? :banghead:
 
Hey Jerry,

I managed to get her trapped on deck. I use these settings:

[TailHook]
tailhook_length=4.000 ;(feet)
tailhook_position=-14.000, 0.000, -1.000 ;(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions fromdatum
cable_force_adjust=1.0

The hardcoded hook had me tip over time after time.

:playful:

Thanks Cees! I had the same problem with nosing over on every landing over the entire speed range. The new hook cfg entry works excellent!

YoYo, if I had made a landing video it would've looked just like yours! :biggrin-new:
Cees, thanks for the tailhook settings, I knew you'd come through. :encouragement: Will try them out after Thanksgiving dinner.
