In the name of sanity quit the arbitrary decisions about ending GV sorties. If I drive back into the hangar and Ef and get a ditch one more Golly-gee time :mad: :bhead

Make sure you are at a full stop before you EF.

after you stop turn the engine off before exit just to be safe, if the GV moves it is a ditch no matter where you are.

There's definitely something glitchy about GV's landing back at base on concrete. I started a thread about it a long time ago, providing film and pictures, and HTC replied and refuse to admit something was wrong.. But hey, what else is new with them.

So good luck Danny getting anywhere with HTC on this. You're going to need it.

I've yet to be able to EF while moving in a gv.  The only "gv" I keep screwing up in is the PT. :bhead  Regardless, if at all moving it always gives me that "you need to be stopped" type of message.  It is probably a net issue, but possibly a bug. :headscratch:

PT boats can only be 'landed' after coming to full stop within the confines of a friendly base - so, within a task group or at a port.

That's what I screw up on.  I don't wait and make sure she's at a full stop. :lol

I just run my PT into a dock to stop it.  Works pretty good for me.

For PT's it's easy now.  Hit shft-S and wait till you hear the engine idle down.  You will see the speedo is at zero and that's "stopped".  The trick is to be in the right place (task group/port) to get the landing. 

I have never failed to get a good landing in a gv.  Autofilm your sorties, and if you get a ditch when you think you should have gotten a landing send the film in.  I have never know HTC to ignore a bug that's a bug...  Never...
