Well the hook should work on carriers and NASs providing you've installed suitable software such as the Carrier Gauges package or Flight Deck Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I dont have that particular model, but with others that include the arrestor hook (and I´m sure with this one, too) can effectively use the hook using a freeware utility called "3wire". I use it, usually coupled with the "arrcab" package. Get it, it´s really worth it.

As for the screen shots, I have seen them myself.... Sad

One of the main reasons I dont feel too comfortable posting shots now is that I feel almost ashamed of my post when comparing them with the quality of the shots now posted... time for a new system, but my wallet seems to disagree with that.. Grin

Has anybody tried to use the freeware software 3wire with FSX ?
It's like Arrestor cable stuff, but it doesn't require any modification to the planes, it will directly work with any plane that has a tailhook.
It knows by default the position of all the default carriers of FS9, as well as the carriers in the car2004a.zip package. It automatically manage arrestor cables, and there is a catapult system too (that works from everywhere, not only on the catapults). Very cool software, I loved it in FS9, but I didn't check if it was working with FSX at all... I guess it won't Embarrassed

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

its ez all you have to program it into your settings, by going to.

Settings
controls
scroll down till you find tail hook
then then find something like new controls
then pick a action like shift+Q for me
and you should be set

im on FSX on wendsday. im newbe007

im still trying to fiqure out how to lower my tailhook for FD4

(flight deck 4, you knwo, with the aircraft which besides the heli, There throttles are so sensitive, a slight movement can send you from approach to out of the site if the carrier...

Then eventually you hit light speed and travel without a plane, ( cos it got torn apart like halfway between the soundbarrier and Light barrier LOL ))

Dont piss me off! im running out of places to hide the bodies!

regarding dx10, it comes with vista the only thing is you need the patch for the game. for one i know that crysis is coming with dx10 and fsx adrenaline is not needed to install the dx10 patch on fsx. but it would be good to get it. because it will improvise your game experience.
