Please fix CV hook landing old bug

[prono]

Hook landing on CV makes plane sling shot off the carrier. So annoying that most people don't use hook or crash land. This is so lame.

you have to be more specific than that...

I'm sorry for my bad English.

"cv landing" search in bugs forum.

Oh yeah I've had that happen to me before, I got pretty mad but it was also pretty funny

[The Fugitive]

I don't think its a bug. I lived on a carrier for two years. The first thing the planes did after they stopped was to lift their hook. This was so the cable/arresting system could be reset for the next plane.

In all of my carrier landings in the game over the years I don't think I have ever been flung off the deck.

Never been flung off the deck but maybe it has to do with the ship turning?

Lucky them otherwise they would sling shot off the ship  .
I asked players before posting here and the answer I got is " It happens sometimes ... because of the "LAG". 
Looks like this hook off trick is not very expected for most of the players.

[icepac]

Lag makes if your position changes relative to the ship because of lag.

Any of you guys remember to lift the hook after you rearm?

When you trap, you must make sure your throttle is at zero.

Any throttle and you're slingshotted.

Must also get hook up before you move. Move with hook down and you're slingshotted.

I've been flung off the deck a couple of times, and every time is because I opened the throttle without raising my hook after landing. Now I raise the hook first thing after the plane stops.

Also if you land fast that might induce being flung off the back. You should be below 100 mph at touchdown.

I don't think this is true at all. I just flew in an FSO where just about everyone that landed on a cv (or at least everyone I saw) did so using the hook.

If you use proper CV landing procedures you wont have a problem

Yep, it's a bug that's been around and I'm guessing just been hard to squash for one reason or another.  Just make sure you calibrate your joystick and throttle and keep the throttle fully closed when you trap aboard the CV and you should be fine.

Used to happen to me from time to time when I was flying the F6F a lot after while it just got to be sort of funny.

I have a feeling it's because it is coaded for that part of the cv that if you are moving and have hook down, it accelerates you backwards rapidly until you come to a stop. Because the cables are there as decoration and not a real physics object. If you are going forwards (read: landing) and hit that area, it you accelerate backwards, and slow to a stop.

Also, since at the very beginning of taking off on a cv, at the lowest area of the throttle, you actually go backwards, the game reads it as movement, and if you are in that zone with the hook down, it will accelerate you backwards. But instead of stopping since you reach 0 speed, it will keep accelerating you since you wont pass 0 speed, just keep going backwards until you leave the deck, and then splash.

This brings me to an idea that I'll need to try once i get back home. If the acceleration vector is based off the ship's orientation and not the planes, if you take off facing the back of the ship, you might get a slingshot takeoff, which would probably either go great, or very very very badly.

I can reproduce the slingshot any time I wish.  I use the rpm prop feathering to help slow my aircraft to land.  Try it for your self.  Land with hook down and if you have your rpms trimmed to minimum (or slightly above), even on a perfect landing on a steady carrier deck, you get sling shot fired backwards before you can make any adjustment at all.

Let me know if you need film I will reproduce it any time.

Have been shot off the deck a few times.
