As an LSO and from the your previous screenies, I would say you are coming in too fast with too high a rate of descent AND with tail too high for the Hellcat's very short tailhook(see CFG file). Roll Eyes

Aw shucks! Wish I could help, but the problem is in your install, not the Essex class. I can see that you are using a set of Enhanced Effects and with that all bets are off. I wanted to help, but troubleshooting a modified install remotely is very difficult. I hope you find the problem. Roll Eyes

OK..well here's the same HC just with a different paint and PTO install.
Got on the Essex without any problems.

Will try a new upload/install of the Intrepid and see what happens.

That sounds very promising.

On a totally unrelated subject, have you tried loosening-up your LSO's behavior by making a few changes in his settings in the CFG file? Roll Eyes

Besides ending that business with his wife and even throwing in a case of booze, he's still po'd. Looked in the cfg file... what's he listed as?

#26 back on the Intrepid for the first time in 64+ years. Cool

...are in the Ship.CFG file like this:

[LSO]
LSO_position=-14.9352,11.1017304,-67.5409368

Not all carriers have LSO entries. The one above dictates his position on the flight deck. I'll dig out the tute on the other entries for you. It's around here somewhere. You can control him somewhat, but the main thing to remember is that if he says you're OK, you are.....but his waveoffs don't really mean you can't land.

I can't find that note anywhere. Sad

However, if I remember correctly, the entry in the post above can be added to the bottom of the Ship.CFG file. And by defining the position of the LSO on the deck as a realistic one, you can improve his attitude, The position numbers work the same as those in the CFG file that define takeoff position on the deck.

Personally, I just ignore him.

If anyone remembers more about this mod, chime in please. Wink

Thanks for looking...expect my landings would be smoother with more ignoring and less cussing.

Isn't there a bit about the LSO in the aircraft cfg/air file?

There's also the bit in the ship cfg up the top.

Thanks to Collin for jogging my memory on this. Though I have failed to locate the tute on this, here are the areas where adjustments in the LSO's 'attitude' can be made:

In the Ship.CFG file of the carrier, you add this entry and experiment with changing the number from 1 down to .1:

[LSO]
LSOAdjustSpeed=0.90

In the Aircraft.CFG file of your plane these entries can be varied to modify his behavior:

[flight_deck_section]
; this section defines the control points the
; AI (and LSO) use to steer towards the flight deck
width=32
length=241
takeoff_start=0,21,-120
takeoff_stop=0,21,120
landing_start=0,500,-5000
landing_touch_down=1.279999,19.456001,-95.135239
landing_stop=1.279999,19.456001,0

Wish I could find the notes.

I've reached the point where I'm forgetting as much about CFS2 as I know. Undecided
