There will be some tail lift when you catch a wire on a carrier, this was normal with tail draggers but you should not go over on to your nose, Seafires had their props shortened by approx 6 inches as so many were damaged by the tail lift effect.

Bruce,

Nice repaint, was it based on Eagle?
Let me know if you have any snags with the paintkit, I made it after I'd done my repaints so I'm not 100% sure if it works!!

Skippy

Edit/ So if I read posts on our own forum I'd know it was based on Furious!!

 

[Kowalski65]

For some reason the landplane version doesnt appear in FSX for me
I may have to re download.The original installsation into my FSX install didnt work die to problems with a .mdl file,I had to install it inti a temp.folder & then cut & paste across.Anyoen get that problem,or should i re download?

 

[stiz]

lovley jubley!!

 

[SkippyBing]

Probably worth trying a re-download, although I'm the last person to ask considering the number of versions I have dotted around my hard drives!!

Well worth a read is War in a Stringbag by Charles Lamb telling of his wartime exploits in a Swordfish.
