How about a real challenge_say a C-130? If it can be done in real life I would think it can be replicated in FSX.

Maybe some practicing with the Pilatus would help

You can add a tailhook (invisible) to any aircraft by adding this section to the aircraft cfg.
[TailHook]
tailhook_length=5 ;(feet)
tailhook_position=-19.5, 0.0, -1.0 ;(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum
cable_force_adjust=1.0
[LSO]
LSOAdjustSpeed=0.7
As for the catapult system, add these lines to the aircraft cfg.
[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot = 5.0, 0.0, -1.0
launch_bar_lug = 5.0, 0.0, -4.5
This is the data from the default F18, so some tweaking may be needed to get it to behave properly.

Here's what I used to do: Make a back up copy of your original aircraft cfg. file and rename it or put it somewhere else for safe keeping. Then move the aircraft cfg. file that you'd like to edit onto your desktop. Edit the file, save then return it to the aircraft folder
