Skid marks floating off carrier and other strangeness

[bluepilot76]

Hi,

When you land on the carrier (P51) your skid marks are visible some distance off the stern of the ship, hanging in mid air at deck height by the time you have taxied back to the stern.

 

When you stop on the deck, you don't stop but gradually edge forwards, into the wind, defying all logic.

 

Also if you take off from the carrier badly, going off the side with one wheel, the wheel still on the deck will break off but actually just vanishes. HOWEVER when you then retract the remaining wheel , you will see that the broken wheel is not in fact broken off but nicely retracted already behind its gear door.

Yea, unfortunately the carrier as it is now is mostly for show and AI A/C. (not sure about the Russian carrier, never tried it). With the announcement of the charlie hornet it's inevitable that carrier ops will get a serious facelift.
