Sludge Hornet Modification v1.2 RELEASED
wilycoyote4:
First carrier trials
Trap on first try but not a very nice score on the greeny board, lol. Nice carrier approach control of the bird.
Then cat. Left the bird on the cat at full power, fuel 49%, and the aircraft stayed glued perfectly then launch. I don't need full power for launch at that weight which may not be realistic but FSX has its quirky issues.
Much to study and thanks to all for this step in the continuing improvement of this default Hornet,
wilycoyote4:
Ground taxi is impressive, far more stable, very little tipsy or sway and only at high unrealitic speeds. Carrier traps much, much more smooth, not the flippy bouncy stuff ------of course the trap must not be poorly performed by the pilot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Razgriz:
BTW Guys, for a realistic cat shot do the following:
-Hook up to the cat like any other cat shot
-Stay engines idle all the way down the cat stroke with the stick released
-Apply full MIL as soon as the aircraft is airborne.
You should get an endspeed of 166, which feels much better. The default cat will launch you like a rocket with endspeeds of 200+.
