Holbeach Posted October 24 Posted October 24 (edited) In 1951, the 13350 ton Colossus Class Light Carrier, HMS Triumph, conducted the first Angled Fight Deck trials. Eric "Winkle" Brown was the test pilot, performing about 80 T & G, using white lines at an 8 deg angle painted on the deck.. Here we can replicate this with the former HMS Venerable, (with some imagination). The prime reason for the angled deck was to prevent the type of accidents seen in the previous screenie by Pappy2. If you miss the wires you just go round. First attempt. I was suprised when the wires actually worked. The idea was offered to the USN who reluctantly tried the idea of painting the lines on the 45000 ton USS Midway. It was such a success that the Essex class carrier, USS Antietam, was converted with an angled deck in 1952 and was the first carrier to have a true angled deck. . ..

Holbeach Posted yesterday at 11:42 AM Posted yesterday at 11:42 AM HMS Collossus, (straight deck) and Arromanches, (angled deck), both operated Corsairs. I found that Essex style approaches weren't working for me so a slightly different style of curve, maintaining altitude so I could keep visual on the angle, cracked it. overshoot the centre line, maintain alt. Keep speed up AOA low for a good view of the deck. .. 2 ASUS 2600K 3.8. P8Z68-V. ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080Ti, RAM 16gb Corsair. M2 NVME 2gb. 2 SSD. 3 HDD. 1 kW ps. X-52. Saitek pedals. ..
Pappy2 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Excellent example of a controlled landing, "Holbeach." I can't manage that yet; my Corsair often stalls during the turn. Which aircraft carrier with a sloped flight deck did you use in your footage? Edited 2 hours ago by Pappy2

Should be the "ARA Veinticinco de Mayo" from the Argentinian Asset Pack which came with South Atlantic map but I think this is available for all.
