Firts let me start with the how:

1) HOW do I lower the stick at the back of the jet needed to hook up with the cable on a carrier to slow me down, does the default carriers in FSX Delux have the cable?

2) WHY when I add some aircraft do they mix up the pics on my plane selection list in FSX, example, I loaded Jet A but the picture for it shows the mooney, and not the jet. This makes me insane, as I must click on the mooney pic to select Jet A.

Thanking helpers in advance.

Check your keysettings. Its listed under Tailhook up - down (ger: Heck auf - ab)

Get to your SimObjects Folder in the main FSX folder, then airplanes and the one that has a false pic. There should be at least one texture folder (or more for each repaint). Get the right picture named *thumbnail.jpeg* into the according texture folder and everthing should work fine!

Same as above, check the key asignement for the TailHook. I don't remember if it was default or if I've set it myself, but on my FSX it's CTRL+H, like it was on CFS2.... hmmm most likely I've set it myself...

And NO, the default carriers have no cables system at all, unfortunately.
Well, at least we got the moving carriers back, maybe in the next FS release we will get cables too Grin

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

The Cable Hook is Not a Defoult controle you have to set it. I think that with the new stuff coming to SFX in the addon MS will be adding working carriers just from seeing some of the stuff thay are adding at least one of the aircraft will be a Fast jet with Tail hook
