  1. Just a heads up; I've had my engine seize as well, while flying one of my self made training missions, usually happens shortly after takeoff. No rhyme or reason to it, everything is set correctly, it happened every time, but only on this one mission. No issues with other missions. So I went into the editor, deleted the player AC and place a new one down and the issue went away and haven't encountered it since. Good luck! DrDetroit
  2. Yes, your instruction really helped me as well. Now I'm consistently landing on the deck, almost never boltering. Thanks for taking the time to write it all out for us! Good day! DrDetroit
  3. A successful landing in my book; alive and on the deck!
  4. Agreed! Fantastic module of my fav war bird! Thanks M3, great work, keep it up! Good day, DrDetroit
  5. Yup, ok thanks for the confirmation. I'll have to take another hard look.
  6. I'm using Moose 2.9.13. My RAT script works in the Caucuses, Nellis, Sinia and Syria.
  7. Does MOOSE/RAT not work with Afghan map? Got the latest version, but nothing spawns. Works great on my other maps, just not this one. Good day, DrDetroit
  8. Yea, been there, done that! Also, forgot to open my cowl vents and the engine seized up right as I was on a diving attack run! Check them gauges, kids, and check them often! Good day! DrDetroit
  9. Ed, not sure if I'm the only one, but I can't purchase anything on your website, it just fails. I've tried 4 CCs and even had CC reps on the phone as I placed the order and it fails on Safe Whatever processing side. I have purchased many modules, and just bought the F4U a month ago, so it's not me or my cards; get a better merchant please - Safeway Whatever is horrendous! Just a note; not good to make customers irate when trying to purchase your products! I'm sure I'm not the only one, and your losing sales, because I've had it - I don't even want it anymore lol! Friggin' armature hour or what!? Good day, DrDetroit
  10. Thanks for the detailed explanation, @GTFreeFlyer This is awesome! Your explanation has filled in a lot of holes in the landing sequence that I'm experiencing. I'll be practicing this incessantly! Thanks again for taking the time!
  11. Thanks guys, will use the info provided and try to get this pig on the deck this weekend! Some good stuff provided here.
  12. Good advice, but where should the MAP and blade pitch (RPM) be at when on final leg to the carrier? This is where I struggle massively; I seem to always come in too fast or too slow during the last few dozen feet before landing, always either ending up fast, at around 110kts, or too slow, at under 90kts. I'll try to correct last second with throttle, before hitting the deck, but that thing just yaws wildly left/right, depending on if I'm increasing or decreasing throttle. Anyhow, it's frustrating as hell lol! I can't seem to get the last leg down to where I can consistently land. I have landed and hooked the wire, but it's like 2 our of 20 times. I think I need to get the MAP and RPM setting dialed in during the final approach, as well as the 10 degree pitch trim, and that should get me on the deck safely.
  13. Yea, after checking my loadout, I had forgotten that the targeting pod was installed, that seemed to throw things out of wack. It wasn't really bad, but enough that it was a pain in the butt when not in AP. Thanks for the help @Scotch75!
  14. Hi guys, gals, I noticed that the Viper seems to need a lot of trimming while flying straight and level, at least for me. Even then, the nose will slowly go up or down, or roll slowly left right, regardless of trim settings. Anybody else have this issue? Might be my curves are set with sensitivity too high or something. I decided to check with you fine folks about this issue, as I just watched a vid where a F-16 pilot explains that he almost never used the trim hat, except maybe a little yaw during takeoff/landing, but never vertical trim. Anyhow, just wondering about this issue. Thanks and good day! DrDetroit
  15. No, in ME, select your plane, then in the right hand panel of the ME, select the comms tab (6th tab), and input the frequencies for channel 1-4. I use channel-1 for my flight. Channel 2 usually the Essex, and 3-4 for other flight or other airfields.
