Yoyo,

From memory one of the versions needs a second switch to be made on the right hand side of the cockpit, it may be that?

Dave,

I'll have a look at that when I get home. I'm not sure there's a lot that can be done though because of the way the radar works.
 
On the deck at last

As per the previous thread on aircraft carrier landings by Yo-Yo, I've been getting things right until I hit the deck then
I always seen to end up nose forward eating carrier!!

The [tailhook] cable_force_adjust =0.7 - 1.5 fix didn't seem to work for me. What I found to work was: ​

[tailhook]
tailhook_length= 0.6000
tailhook_position=-24.000, 0.000, -0.600
cable_force_adjust= 2.200

Now I'm buttering Victorious like bread!

Having finally got on top of things in the real world I've done a bit of digging into why people were finding carrier landings tricky. And then I found out I wasn't rusty, okay I was but not that rusty, but that the P3Dv4 gauge wasn't doing everything it had been doing in P3Dv3. Full explanation on the blog along with the updated gauge if you don't want to wait for the next update. In short you should now land like the picture below rather than tipping onto the prop!

In a fit of productivity I've updated the Firefly for TacPack. If you'd like to update yours the files are on the blog, I'll also be doing an update for the installer in the next week or so once I've tweaked a few other bits.

Just picked this interesting aircraft up. Were any of the repaints shown in this thread by YoYo and jeansy ever released? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

TIA
