Prowler Carrier Dimensions

Good evening John.

Do you have an idea, why the Prowler is parking so off-center? It seems that its much longer than it visually is. The parking spots are all aligned and of the fitting size.

That might explain this much:

But not the landing short issues I've been having...

But at least glad to see what looked like some really great landing photos of the Tomcat, Hornet and Goshawk in your other thread!

I've just tried the Prowler on the deck and can confirm the same behaviour Martin. The aircraft parks about half a length behind the parking spot centre, whether an anti-pushback node is present or not.

I don't know why that is. The spot is of the correct size and the datum for the model is halfway through the wing chord on the Y axis. That should ensure that the aircraft is centred on the spot on the spot. I also tested an F-35C with a similar datum and that parked correctly.

All your other airpark behave perfectly fine on deck Wasn't there a thing like aircraft radius? Maybe that is set loo large?

As a matter of curiosity I opened an E-2 model and an EA-6B model in RADiator the results seem rather similar or not enough to make a huge difference...
