Unfortunately, both Bearcats have that same malfunction. So, improvise. These huge, modern-day carriers have more than enough length to bring that F8F to a wheel break stop. I'm pretty good at carrier landings.... this one is low & slow, use the spoilers if you have to, but you can land on one half of the deck & touch- and- go, take right back off on the 2nd half of the deck.

This aircraft stands on its nose every time I trap on an aircraft carrier (I use aicarriers2 and tried the default landable carrier out of Norfolk as well) . I have fiddled some with the tailhook settings without any positive result. Is there a known fix (cfg settings) for this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Arnie
