Mossa666 Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I might have found a solution to the problem of not beeing able to get a trap on the Essex when setting it up in ME. I've set up a mission where the carrier was part of a carrier group with support vessels. One of the support vessels was "number 1" in this group. I wasn't able to get a trap in this scenario. When I removed the other vessels (carrier in number 1 again) landing works fine.
Maddog-1969 Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Another video maybe of interest. No audio, but some interesting footage for those interested in Corsair carrier operations. I hope one day we also get a deck crew and evermore so pitching deck simulation. 2
michelip Posted Sunday at 07:00 AM Posted Sunday at 07:00 AM I have the same problem with arresting on the Essex in the Marianas WW2 map. I have spent hours practising with a wind of 28 kn. Across the deck, with full flaps and despite regular ( about 20-30) good approaches at 90 – 100 kn. The hook refuses to catch. I have tried setting flaps 2 with no benefit. I have carefully examined my replay footage on an outside (F2) view and I believe my problem is the flight model at low speeds: If on short finals you reduce speed to 90 Kn. The aircraft becomes very unstable by touchdown. If you fly any faster and try to flare a little at the last second to lower the tail, you lift off and miss altogether. Possible developer solutions: Check that there is no inherent problem with the Essex model. Tune the Corsair's flight model to allow more stability and sink at speeds under 100 Kn. Raise the Essex's wires a couple of inches. (It wouldn't even be visually noticeable) Lengthen the hook. Meanwhile, I'll continue to practise. Regards, Myself.

As many people have no issues catching wires on the Essex, there might be a technique error on your side. Best thing you can do is upload a short track of one of your attempts, that way we can give you precise tipps what to improve.
