SU33 openbeta - problem with rope hooking

[Wodzu]

Hello.

 

I test open beta landing of su 33 on the aircraft carrier and with a correct approach it happens that the plane does not hook on the rope as shown in the video below.Is the problem also in you?

Hi Wodzu

 

Looks like a very hard landing to me, do you have a track replay we could look at?

 

if not please make a short one so we can check it,

 

thanks

[Wodzu]

Indeed, it's possible that it was for a hard landing, but I wonder if the hitching mechanism is working properly and whether or not it was a bug.

I do not have more recordings from my flight but my buddy had a similar situation where it caught on the last line.

 

Today I will continue to test it and if the problem recurs, I upload the video.

Greetings

Thanks for sharing, I will have a look

 

I have not seen this issue myself and I have been testing it prior to release.

For me landing works fine, sometimes I bolter yes but I haven't noticed any discrepancies between the glide path and where the arrestor cables are on the deck.

 

So far I haven't gotten any in-flight engagements yet: it would be nice to see that modelled correctly :)

From what I can tell your AOA is pretty high on this landing, try flattening it out a bit more (read: flare a bit less) and 'slam' her against the ground a little bit more. I know it feels unnatural but it will probably also help against bouncing up again.

Hi,

 

My friend send me new movie with the same error. Watch it. AOA it's now ok.

I have read somewhere else in this forum that touching down (the hook, that is) aft of the arresting cables results in a bolter. Both videos show the hook touching the deck well aft of the first wire. If you touch down after (beyond or in front of) the first wire, the hook will catch a wire. I have not yet had a bolter but I have only made two traps and didn't capture them on tape but they were both successful engagements.

I just recorded another landing. I agree that approaches are not ideal, but I wanted to test landing from different positions.

I do not stick to that, but you see with your own eyes that it looks bad.

I have also had some fails catching the wires for no aparent reason...everything looks good, touch well over the cables but the hook just don't catch the wires...

Keep in mind this aircraft carrier is going to be replaced by a new model tho. I agree that this is not ok but you can see the other side of this : Before the PFM if you touched the deck too early you exploded :D

 

Now i haven't seen many examples of planes touching the deck that far from the first wire so idk what it would be like IRL, in your examples you can see the hook going through the deck and that might be why it's not registering, again this might be resolved with the new carrier model.
