Need help on carrier landings! (Read 149 times)

Hello,

like lots of you i installed the new Superhornet and the carrier pack from avsim which includes two carriers around Thailand.

in the shots bellow i try to land on the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln close to Phuket. for some reason, my landing gear always sinks into the deck. now i wonder what can be the reason...you all know i'm a really good pilot Roll Eyes

so it could be a scenery problem. it's also possible that my approach parameters aren't correct.

here's my approach...which looks quite normal to me:

i did several attempts, one with 137kts and one with 152kts...fuel tanks around 40% and full flaps. perhaps i descend too fast? (watch the vertical speed indicator on the right hand side of the shots)

the result is this, no matter at what speed i come in:

landing this plane on normal runways is no problem for me...it's just this carrier. maybe i level off too late on the carrier, i don't know...

do you have any suggestions for me? they are all welcome! please help me because i'm about to jump into the ocean Sad

I'm not a scenery expert, but I think that in order to create a carrier, you need to make a landable surface.
In this case, I think that surface is right below the visible flight deck Tongue

...

it can't be your fault Wink

hope this helps-

if i start a flight on this carrier, i can taxi on the deck so i'm not sure if your solution is the right one. Wink

Sometimes the gear on the plane can be very weak...I once hand flew an ILS approach into Chicago-Midway. Stayed 2 red and 2 white the entire way down. Landed at 140kts. Still got sparks and a beautiful view on the night sky in the cockpit view when I came to a stop...
