I'm having a perfect approach with the Piglet's Skyraider, and then after a halt, the plane topples backwards and crashes. Landing speed is 89 KIAS.
I don't know what's going wrong!

I think there is an FDE update available for it, perhaps that might help.
I've not found an FD update for it but for sure.. it's not the easiest carrier model to land despite it's slow, lumbering manner. The suspension is quite soft (it'll bounce) and it'll happily float over the wires on full flap even full causing a go-around. Don't think I've had it sink backwards but I know what you mean.

The update file is on FlightSim.com, its name is a1jupt.zip it was made to make the A-1 more compatible with aicarriers.
That's it. I created the files with the kind and patient help of Mike Davies about 5 years ago after I encountered the very same behavior that Cees did. . It is a full update of the FDE as well as Config overhaul to get the contact points to where you'll have a more stable landing & ground handling experience. You can graft the files into either the Air Force or Naval variants with a little editing.

Thank you! I'll have a go at it!

Have you had any more luck with it Cees??

OK, anyone want to play test pilot?
I have done a quick update of the "J" aircraft's flight dyanmics including COG, hook position, corrected landing gear positions and several adjustments to flight profile. To me they seem to be pretty good, but that's just me. So, if anyone wants to give them a try let me know if the fixes are acceptable post here or PM me and I email you a new set files for you to check out.
