F-18 carrier brake problems
burner12:
I know about the spin outs that the hornet has on runways. But whenever I try to land on a carrier espicially in those TOP GUN Day traps missions once I touch down and catch a wire the entire thing spins out of control on to its right side and either crashes or splashes through the deck. This is annoying th SH**T out of me. I just got a new computer running Vista. So far I have made a few carrier landings that were fine, so i don't think it is the computer. I installed that brake fix and that didn't do anything. Has anybody else had this problem and is there a way to fix it? >:( >:(

burner12, may I ask if you are landing 'lined up'? with the centreline of the angled deck? From your description of what happens after your arrest? you seem to be lined up right heading for the island once arrested? Is that the case (by this I mean it seems you may be lined up with the ship centreline?). Maybe these are silly questions to you but I'm trying to imagine what might be the problem. Also landing at a reasonable All Up Weight using the Optimum Angle of Attack is important IMHO.
What settings do you have for the flightsim "Easy" or "Difficult" or something else? Maybe I'm clueless because I have not done any "TOP GUN" Day traps missions. What are they?

jimi08, thanks - never really got into that 'TopGun' stuff. Perhaps burner12 needs to ask at that website?

Yes I'm mainly lined up w/ the centeline.Also the crash tolerence is set to realism. And I'm mainly landing in 150-155knots sometimes 147 and I still spin out?
I went back and tested it again to see what the problem is and it's that when i hit the deck i snap the left or right side of a wire and that brings me to the center causing a spin out. But when I DIRECTLY on centerline i dont spin out. I guess this is a stupid question but going around is ok right? I sometimes @ 160knots want to force her on the deck but going around willl help in not crash right? And it seems i have to always be lined up with the centerline to not spin out, does anybody agree?
