Hi Skeeterman. The Panther used as Player aircraft in Bunker Hill has a virtual tailhook like the default naval aircraft. This is activated by hitting Shift + G or Shift + H depending on the keyboard layout you use. This will give the effect of catching an arrester wire when your "hook" touches the deck.

PS. I visit this forum on a regular basis but can often miss specific questions, hence the delay in my reply. It's quite possible I might not visit for a week or longer so don't rely on my being here. If you have problems with the Fox Four campaigns it's much quicker to get help by mailing one of the team direct from the Contact page on the site. You will also be more likely to get the correct answer to your problem.
