Not sure where to post , move to correct forum if need.
Thanks
Using the AI2 carriers ,has anyone had any trouble landing non FSX standard planes. I've been trying to land the F4U Corsair, A1 Skyraider and a F-14 Tomcat with no luck. They don't crab the cables no matter what I do. I can fly the F-18 catch them 9 out of 10 times.
Do I need to add something for these other planes?

If hey are FS9 imports i believe ou have to ad some tail hook info to theaircraft .cfg file, dig around you should finf=d the info, but there is a really god FSX F14 by Piglet

The Skyraider wasn't made by Dino, it was made by Tim Conrad (Piglet).
Dino Cattaneo made the Tomcat and the Goshawk. Wink

The FS9 planes will work perfectly as long as there is a [TailHook] section defined in their aircraft.cfg.
I'm using several FS9 planes in my FSX and I can land them on the carriers: Crusader, Corsair, Seafire, F-14 by IRIS, F-18 from F-KBT, etc...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

I have no problem landing the Goshawk either. After the post about adding tailhook info where would I look?
I saw a ref. in the Tomcat cfg but not in the Corsair.
Can they be just copied from one plane to the other???
