Title: Carrier landing
Post by: TX-Copper on November 02, 2004, 04:49:17 am
Anyone masterd it yet?  I managed to land once, but too fast and glide path too steep which caused the arresting cables to act like a rubber band...kinda went up and slammed back down.....dead.

Mastered it: No...not yet but I have had many successful landings!!  On the non successfull landings:  I have had more wave offs and fly arounds than I have had crashes  Loving this new aspect of the sim...awesome!Regards,TX-Rahman"WHITE 6"

I've already put my foot down with my Wife (well, sort of) and told her I was planning on flying tonight for a bit. I should be there too. At least as long as I can keep my rig from locking up. (bloody unstable drivers..grrr)Anyway, looks like fun.
