Hellcat - In case you haven't...

That's something new , i asked the producer of the installer what might cause this and await an answer but as its getting late i would suggest that you also post that in the RealFlight Forums so dean can see it when he gets going in the UK , where morning comes shortly. http://www.realflight.co.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=15&sid=7c7062fdfd3421b39fffcaa405a237e8

Sorry to hear that you had a problem , but some info would come in handy, is FSX installed in two directories or in some unconventional manner ?
Machine specs , and whatever you think might help sort this out .
Thanks C.Jodry for Realflight U.K

With enough wind over the deck (about 35 knots) and an appropriate approach (< 75 knots) speed the forward pitching moment is minimal. However I believe the Acceleration arresting effect is setup for nose draggers, hence the serious forward pitching moment.

I think you're right... MS have fudged the trap effect to throw the Hornet foward onto its nose gear, which is why the Hornet is so unstable after a trap (mine wobble, a lot of people complain it rolls over onto one side) and why this pitches forward to violently.

I just tipped it clean over through the deck, a landing on a moving carrier (not into wind, admittedly, winds were calm) at a little under 70Kts on the clock.

The fix, I'm sure, is another fudge, which won't work with real weather as the Accel carriers (or those like the Ark Royal, which steam in circles) very rarely fly directly into wind, so you have to clear real weather just before starting your approach and fix the wind to carrier heading.

With the Big E (WWII version) I'll go to advanced weather and set the wind (without shear and turb) to the approximate heading of the carrier. However it appears that you may have to allow (for some reason) for magnetic declination though both directions (heading of the ship and wind readout) are alleged to both be magnetic.

The Big E can be tweaked up to 30 knots or so, which is (barely) enough wind over the deck in calm conditions, and 15-20 knots of FS generated wind at a cruise speed of 15-20 knots will give a pretty adequate 35 knots over the deck.
