Thanks for the reply. I love your work. yes I did taxi onto Bravo from the active, right hand turn. For whatever reason I never heard an audio. Maybe if I had made my way down to where we started it would have worked. Maybe it’s because my wings weren’t overswept and my flaps weren’t up yet…seems like it should have worked. Perhaps it was a speed thing. This is a training campaign so I’m not too put out, just bummed to not get my score. Will get it right the…fourth time.

I also didn't have the mission complete. PACO got as far as being directed to contact ground, and I was directed to clear the runway via bravo. I did so but no dice. Tried taxiing back on the runway and then off again via bravo. Nothing. Painful.

I am not sure. I didn't get any sort of indication it was a "hard" one (such as Jester asking me if the plane was still airworthy...). And like I said I was still able to fly the plane, as evidenced by throttling up and initiating a go-around. Is there some function by which the carrier doesn't take damage from landing craft if certain conditions are met? Regardless it doesn't matter too much as I think at that point in mission you have done all you can and experienced all the easter eggs/80s content right? Just seeing your above reply - gotcha. Well, I guess I just need to reduce my sink rate even more!

As the title implies, I successfully completed Mission 7 and was told to RTB. Got the Mission Completed Message. As soon as I touched the carrier, I got a message that it was sinking and I was to divert to Turkey. I boltered and went up for another pass but then got Mission failed and exited out. This was a surprise because it was a clean landing, slow sink, certainly not my worst. When I checked the log at the end, it said I had "hit" the carrier on landing. Looking at Tacview, none of the cruise missiles hit any of the ships, carrier included. Is this just a bug? Did I do some miniscule amount of damage to the carrier somehow, but this mission codes any damage as a failure?
