Carrier landings easier?
« on: January 05, 2001, 12:43:00 PM »

Has a chnage been made to the ease of carrier landings or am I just getting better at it? =)

Last night I managed to land a Seafire in one piece for the first time ever. The hook didn't catch and I had to use the breaks but I made it.

Also managed a hard landing in the F4U, steep aproach with a very late flare so that I got the tailwheel and hook down, but the sinkrate was still high. Hit the deck quite hard, caught a wire and stopped. Felt sort of right, hard landing but not too hard.

If this has been a deliberate change I like it =)
