Just fine. I’m on Xbox and it installed and loads no issues. I just like it, and most planes, for the visuals. Mostly I fly external chase view with occasional cockpit. I was looking for the tail hook lever but I’ll go back to that. So yes on Xbox it works fine for basics- throttle up, brakes, steering etc. hot start mind you.

I flew several dozen carrier approaches with the A-6 this evening…highest was 4.7 out of 5…most 3-4 out of 5. However, when launching off the carrier whether moving or static, there is almost no turn (Roll or rudder) authority. Rolling left and pulling elevator will stall the A-6 every time. Tough to fly a pattern when you can’t turn. I flew a flight out of NAS Norfolk and had better luck but very sluggish and very little turn authority. Needs to be looked at by DeimoS.
The approaches were fun and challenging but again very little roll or rudder with the flaps down and speed brakes deployed which is normal landing config.
Downloaded and reviewed the A-6 NATOPS manual to day to review procedures etc.
Guys - when I am landing - hook extended (Supercarrier Pro), the hook would never grasp - regardless how slow and leveled I would land - the cables would not hook up with the A6 hook. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong here?

I would recommend asking for official support through Deimos’ Discord channel.
Make sure your speed is 130-140 and the AOA donut is orange when you hit the deck. Maintain the glideslope(ball) with small throttle adjustments. Throttle controls altitude on approach.
Sidenote: Controls (roll, yaw, and elevator) are all very very sluggish, almost non responsive in the current model. I am communicating with the creator in Discord.
Thanks mate! Will try again!
P.S. Always enable the modern arrestor cables…
I see! Yes when I enabled them it worked immediately. So that means the Intruder won’t catch on without the modern ones then right? It’s not that I did something wrong then?
Probably the case.
I have owned and flown every flight sim ever produced for the PC starting with FS1 as I am a pilot. Although I have flown MSFS 2020 since it was released, I never knew about the flight model setting in the General Settings section…big letters at the top of the section. Setting it to Modern Flight model fixed the control responses. I had never read anything on this issue until Deimos directed me to it via email. The A-6 handles realistically now. So off to shoot more carrier launches and landing.

There are posts all over this forum about never, ever using the Legacy Flight model. Nobody has any idea why Asobo has left it in the sim all this time.
NEVER, EVER, EVER USE LEGACY FLIGHT MODEL. NOT EVER, EVER EVER.

When I used the forum in the past it was for very specific issues or questions. Never had any control issues with any other aircraft since MSFS 2020 was released so was not on my radar. The A-6 brought it to the surface. Definitely aware now.

It’s not your fault. Asobo and the moderators aren’t listening, and haven’t addressed the main issue, which is that the Legacy Flight Model should not be in the UI, and, as long as it is, there should be a sticky post at the top of every forum telling users to never turn on Legacy Flight Model. Nearly every day I see people post problems because they turn it on. And they don’t know it’s a problem, so when they say they have problems, their first sentence isn’t “Well, I turned on Legacy Flight Model, and I can’t figure out why the plane isn’t flying properly”, so of course, all we say is, “well, it flies fine for us, did you try reinstalling the plane?”
Asobo thought they fixed the issue because they added a command for the flight_model.cfg to force the plane to only use Modern Flight Model. The problem is, they forgot to tell the developers to ALWAYS add that tag. So all sorts of planes don’t have it.

is there a manual somewhere ? thanks
Understanding from Discord that an additional update is forthcoming, to be sent to MS on/around Monday, to address a few outlined deficiencies highlighted on the discord channel. I’ll defer to Deimos to highlight what made the final cut in terms of fixes.
You are right… i’ll perform updates to tick the only modern flight mode 
thanks for suggestion!
And yes please write to my discord or my mail to report issue or suggestions ! i do not check all the days the forum or other places

Anyone else notice you cant successfully map the tail hook/launch bar or is it just my subpar peripherals?
The tail hook worked for me last time I checked…

Can Deimos please make the S3 Viking and Cold War era Corsair?
Good companion jets to the A6

The dev is currently finalizing a mystery project, so maybe it’s one of those. No clues or indication yet, but I think it’ll be out within a month or so.
