Problems landing on base in KS?

I recently got the Kilrathi Saga and playing through WC1 on a Windows 98 computer I notice that after signaling the Tiger's Claw to request landing --- well, it just doesn't work. You fly right into the carrier. The landing sequence just won't trigger. I've tried flying around and all that. The first time it happened I ejected -- I don't want to have to continue doing that.

It only occurs in certain missions, but if it does occur in that mission, no amount of restarting or reloading seems to work out. I'm on the first Rapier mission and it's doing this -- the first time was on Enyo 2, I believe.

I don't know if this problem repeats in the other games -- it might take me a while to see. Anyone else have similar problems? I tried searching, but no luck.
 
Did you fly into the flight deck? You have to be lined up with the front. I think the first mission drops you from autpilot on the correct heading, but in various missions after that you may have to reorient yourself.
 
Another thing worth noting is that you oftentimes have to target your carrier before you can communicate with it to request landing. Just hit T until you're targeting the Tiger's Claw (Or Concordia), then hit C. Select the carrier, then request landing.
 
I would suggest the same as Chris, make sure that you are approaching the claw directly from the nose...I also suggest that you come in at a slow speed. (mainly just to make sure that if the landing doesn't trigger you don't wipe out. :) ).
