VSN F-4B and DCS Supercarrier

[Perseus]

Hi, is the VSN F-4B mod compatible with the DCS Supercarrier, when I taxi to launch the landing gears sink into the deck when I reach the jet blast deflector?

Perseus,

I was testing out launches and traps on various carriers this weekend and also had some trouble driving around the JBD on super carrier Lincoln.   Almost like there is a glitch with collision models.   About 50 percent of the time I would lose my nose gear travelling over the JBD's.   So at least one other person found the same challenges as you have.

I did get shot off the end but unless I was quick with gear and flaps I ended up taking a bath.   I got quicker.

I also tried traps on the Forrestal, Lincoln, the Clemenceau, the Melbourne, Hermes, and the Illustrious.   Caught a wire on all of them but speed was too high on the smaller carriers and lost all my gear landing on those. Forrestal, Lincoln, and Clem were good traps.

You are right. There is a problem with the collision-modell. Sadly we seem not be able to fix it. We might have another shot, but who knows if it works out. For the time beeing, use the Forrestal (no such problems) or if you use the supercarrier, go a bit too quick over those JBDs and don't be too heavy A load-out 4xAim7+4x3xHydras should work out. If you take heavy bombs, you might loose a front-gear...

Thanks for the replies, like you said the Forrestal is not a problem, but with the supercarriers whenever you taxi over the jet blast deflectors the F-4 landing gears sink into the deck, especially if you are heavy.

Now I know the problem is a model collision issue with the DCS supercarriers module and the four JBD's.

on smaller carriers such as the Melbourne, Hermes, and Illustrious, you faced difficulties due to higher speeds and ended up losing all your gear upon landing.
