Rhrich Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Just a question: I tired som wheels up emergency landings and found that: It’s relatively easy to land the Tomcat wheels up, but with the hook down, without incurring much damage. Even on rough ground like a desert. You can land wheels up, and after you come to a standstill you can then lower your gear and proceed as nothing happened. That’s of course not realistic, but perhaps it’s just an artefact of the code? It seems the Tomcat is pretty much bulletproof when you land, should it perhaps be tweaked to be a little more fragile when you land? 1

Yeah, I reported that 3 years ago. Doesn't look like a priority item to them. 3 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

Thank you, and sorry that I «spam» the forum. Im an old guy and away from my computer for much of the year, so I might not test something before long after you experts.
