• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I have the baton, CYYE to CYKJ, in the Flying Stations Hawker Sea Fury (FSX), with modded airfile. Using FSRealWX Pro.

No drop tanks, so range may not make it to CYKJ, in which case I'll divert.

Over-stressed on final approach. Baton back at CYYE.

(Just discovered something very strange with the Sea Fury flight model. If you cut the throttle to zero on approach, it can stall and instantly spin uncontrollably, for no good reason. I was well above stall speed. I've tried another flight, and it's a repeatable issue.)

Hmmm, will check that out. If it happens to me, I will generate a new FM using same specs to see if that can be resolved.

EDIT: I could not replicate your failure here. :-/
EDIT2: Hmmm, I tested this in FS9; maybe it has an issue in FSX as the flight model is for CFS2 and FS2002. I have generated a new FS9 FM on teh same specs and would be happy to generate one for FSX/Accel if you wish to the same specs if you want to try it.

Tonight while testing I can't get the issue to repeat - it's flying just fine. Perhaps FSX was just behaving strangely for me last night, after switching aircraft types for a few flights.
 
I have the baton, CYKJ - CYOH, Grumman SOH F7F-3, FSX, default real WX.
 
Baton free @ CYOH. Fun flight! Wind, snow, low clouds, dark. Glad the gravel strip has lights!
 
Baton is free at CYLH.
