DCS hang: F-14 fell into sea when landed on the carrier deck (forgot to low down hook)

Accidentally, I forgot to low down my F-14 hook when landed my plane on the deck, and it ran into the sea. RIO called out "eject...." but the screen freeze and the entire DCS application hung.  The sound distortion from the jester called out "eject..." stayed with the DCS application forever.   

 

Checked the Windows task manager, it showed the DCS had no responding.  I had to end task to kill the DCS application.

 

With the DCS tech support, they suggested me to do A-A-8-1 and repeated the same scenario.  "No responding" was no longer to happen after I made  F-14 fell into water after running at the end of the carrier deck.

 

I guess that the program was stuck somewhere for the action of jester was trying to eject....?!

 

Any suggestion?

minor point, goto mil power at touchdown and youd just go around and try again rather than fall off the end of the boat

@eatfearsThanks. A good point, it works if I realize and wake up that I do not catch any cable quickly 🙂

That's why you always go full power, even if you are 100% certain you caught a cable. If you wait to realize that you haven't caught one and then add full power, it could be too late, and your aircraft could be in the water before you got sufficient speed to go around again. Add full power at or just before wheels hitting the deck, and you'll have plenty of power in the event of a bolter. This is how the real naval aviators do it.

It's not just a "suggestion" - it's part of the carrier landing procedure of life/death importance!
