looks like I'll have to wait a while :( - wish I'd ordered from play.com
I got it installed it fired up a quick gen and jumped into a Corsair to attack an airfiend with a 16 enemy aircraft and 3 other corsairs, got 8 aircraft on the deck before they took off then bagged another 3 B29's and an A20, thi splanes got shed loads of ammo and u can yank the stick as hard as you like and it doesnt stall, this plane is as ugly as sin but as hard as nails, and then as I tried to kill a AAA gun I hit the ground....
And bounced, oh feck its on invunrability from when I was doing screenies a while back :lol:
Hmmmm

Landing on a Carrier takes practice, I am getting much better now though. Land about 1 in 5 rather than the 15 attempts it took me at first. I can see many a long mission only to come back and ballsup the landing. If in doubt wave off!!!!!
I never realised that on the WW2 place the arrestor hook wasn't long enough to catch shallow flare. You have to flare big time to catch the wires. Some of the american carriers have 2 sets. So if you bounce over the first set and you are brave enough to try for the second!
Aye, Japanese hooks are so much smaller. Think my record with the Val is 6 touch and goes before I snagged a wire.
I managed a good touchdown on my second attempt and thought this is easy. Next succesful landing was at least 10 attempts later. I was even thinginh of getting my liferaft carpetted and a drinks cabinet installed :crazy:
Mine has arrived at home so i'll have a go at this later tonight if people are up flying :)

Seafires have a sensible sized hook. That is what I did my first successful landing in. One of the american planes even gives you manual gear I-16 style to deal with!
It's a shame there are no LSO officers to help you on your glide path.
Have you watched the training track? I cannot believe how violent the landings are. They tell you the idea is to stall your plane over the wires, so you can get the nose up but continue decending.
Yeah, and that's nigh on impossible with no externals. They give the facility to open the canopy, why dont they allow you to move your head?
Also I confused "knots" with "kph" on the training track which didnt help when I tried it :Oops:
I've found the best way is to be the last plane in to land, then shear your gear off on the arse of the carrier by skimming in at deck level. You stop real quick and dont need to go around at all.
grrrrrrr........Amazon haven't even dispatched my copy yet :(
edit: right, have it on order from Play.com. Screw Amazon - I can't even log on to see my account at the moment!
mine arrived today :)
