You need something with reverse thrust!

Such as the Gran Caravan or a Pilatus. Either that or you need to be stalling at the point of touchdown :lol:

Success! :Dance: No Velcro needed. :lol: I used a custom-made model of the USS Nimitz instead of using the 'default' FSX model. The custom-made model appears to be much larger than the 'default', so the problem was not with the pilot it was with the ship. :lol: According to the read-me file these Alaskan waters (southeast of Anchorage) contain a foreign ship who defiantly sails with complete disregard for US sovereignty. Her name...Ark Royal. :worried: I must find her. :agree: After of course I contact President Obama, Prime Minister Cameron, and Mayor Boris Johnson for guidance. ;)
