Looks like you are having a great time. I have enough problems landing as it is, without trying to do it on a moving deck.

I just wish it was his carrier, but the Big E is close enough.

a quick (ish) fix for those of you that have the hellcat, and nose over either whilst appying too much brake or when catching a wire on carrier landings, the final part is that the later F6F's were modified for cat launches.
change the following in your aircraft.cfg
[TailHook]
tailhook_length = 2.000000
tailhook_position = -15.000, 0.000, -1.000
cable_force_adjust = 1.000000
[brakes]
toe_brakes_scale = 0.640888698995941
parking_brake = 1
differential_braking_scale = 1
for the capapult capability so add this also
[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot = 5.5, 0.0, -4.0
launch_bar_lug = 10.6, 0.0, -8.2

I'd say it was more like a bounce & survive. ;D

It's by far the most realistic plane in my FSX.
