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.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Have you tried other boats and not had the issue?
Edit:I just did a few laps on the Ranger. I cannot replicate this issue. I have my crash tolerance set to about 65-70%. What is your crash tolerance set to?

How many ping-pong balls are enclosed inside the deck to make it float ?????

I would try to set it down just a bit. 100% seems a little overly realistic when it comes to carrier landings and ops. The undercarriages of Naval aircraft are lot more sturdy than it leads you to believe in the sim.
Nice start! I wish someone would take up making an entire Essex class. The Oriskany is top notch and I love it. BUT I wish that there were more ships represented in the class. Like the USS Lexington, Shangri La, and others.
Will follow your advice Warren. Like Cees, I have always had it and the other settings "full right" and think I suffer too many trap crashes than I deserve! Switching crash detection off completely on the other hand takes too much of the suspense and excitement of a safe landing . .

There is a small set of straight deck Essex class originally by Collin G., and modded for FSX by Lazarus. The Valley Forge and Boxer are in the Library and you can change textures and numbers to get both WWII and Korea boats of your choice - there are more textures at CG's Shipyard's for this.
Had hoped one could morph Gary's O-boat into other angle deck Essex class CV's with just texture changes but he said the hull numbers are baked into the model. Would welcome some of the SEA angle decked veterans like Intrepid, Hancock, Bonnie Dick and Shangri La that saw action before they were decomissioned.

I have taken quite a few older CFS2 models and converted them to carriers in FSX for my own personal use.
I am talking the SCB-125 upgraded versions of the Essex class.
