:) um, yes - the TSR-2 probably isn't the best a/c for carrier stuff. The FDM needs really an overhaul because the take-off performance isn't right - it currently lifts off at a lower speed if reheat isn't used :( - and it was designed to have a good stol performance, albeit with extending nose-gear to increase the AoA. The current FDM is pretty poor in this respect.
