F4u Having a bit of trouble landing on Carrier.. Any advice Please??

Can't land F4u on Carrier? Need advice Please..

I am Having a Hard time of getting this bird to land well??
I come in a beautiful approch, Holding 110mph, drop Flaps to 50% at one mile out
Level out at 100 ft..
Close to 400 yards, drop Flaps to 75%..
100 yds out drop flaps to 100% speed at 100 mph
50 ft out Level nose Cut engine...
And as soon as The F4U hits the Deck...

BANG!!!!!
Hobbit Pieces everywhere..

A Real Mystery??

Pics show my configuration and desent as i touch down..
Take a Close look..
 
Also that carrier is sitting awful low in the water. Seen any torpedo bombers around?
 
Iwas going to move this to the FSX where they could help him. Then I opened the pictures. <a href="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php" title="Smiley"><img src="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing002.gif" alt="Smiley" border="0" /></a>

I think I might move it to the Cantina.

I see the problem, Hobbit must be a graduate of the "Panther school for Aircraft Landing" - I think that must be the class of Crash & Burn 101...lol
 
perhaps dropping the gear might help. Also DON't have the wheel brakes locked when you touch down. 100 MPH seems awefully fast for a prop job trap, try something like...50. It's possible your ships 'deck height' is correct but the model render height is not (or vice-versa) so you appear in the right place but the deck is somewhere else, better check it.
 
And turn your left turn signal off. It is a little known fact that landing on a carrier with the left turn signal blinking is bad juju.

OBIO
 
Look anyone one can see you are flying the wrong model Corsair.

the picture was obviously taken in the Northern Hemisphere... the model Corsair you are flying can only fly Down Under in the Southern Hemisphere on carriers that are have the same world orientation.


DUH!!
