It's just the movie kept getting delayed. Also a separate team worked on the DLC, not the team that handles bugs buildings. Edited May 25, 20224 yr by Tuskin38

For the Darkstar they had help with the aerodynamics from someone they're not allowed to talk about. An unamed company that is working on a similar aircraft. They want to add the carrier to free flight eventually. The carrier in the challenge is moving. They need to bring those pilots back through. That F-18 has seemed fine to me right up to the point of touchdown. I don’t flare at all because you shouldn’t do that in a Navy jet. The feeling of planting the tires on the deck is not there. The aircraft seems to slow down and slightly flare on its own when landing and it was especially felt landing in this new carrier challenge. I was really hoping for better than this when they said they had real F-18 pilots helping them. This thing was completely underwhelming. I have DCS which is obviously worlds better. All I want from MSFS is the ability to fly on and off a carrier anywhere in the world to simulate a carrier deployment. Then I can jump into DCS to blow stuff up. Unfortunately this Maverick DLC has me no closer to doing that and really was a “gamey” release for gamers

May 25, 20224 yr Bug Report: The new Top Gun update does not test to see whether the F18 is already installed. If the F18 is not already installed – as it wasn’t on my machine because I like to conserve disk space – the new Top Gun software immediately crashes to desktop 100% of the time when you attempt to fly. Also, the countdown text – 3,2,1, Go – is not erased when new characters are added. The numerals and letters are accumulated and piled together on top of each other into an ugly mess which obscures the plane and scenery.

May 25, 20224 yr Just in case someone wanders: Carrier and Frigate do not have hard decks outside the Mission of the new DLC. Hopefully this will be added later with an update
May 25, 20224 yr I also agree the carrier landing is more for gamers than simmers. There is a odd feel to it. DCS has nothing to fear when it comes to this. This has the same feel of F-18 carrier lander on my iPhone. Still, if it gets others into the flight sim world, then I am all for it.
