All of the carrier based jets I have don't have an arresting cable. I have FSX Deluxe, no Acceleration for now (new video card needed). Is there one out there that has an exceptional tailhook? I'm looking at getting an F-18 or F-14. Also, what are some good carrier-based helicopters? :question

Believe Dino Cattaneo's (freeware) Tomcat and Goshawk both have tailhooks.

Dino's Goshawk requires Accleration, but someone "updated" his Tomcat for use without Accleration,

When you do get Accleration, get Dino's T-45C &
F-14D (with
Jivko Rusev's HUD fix), and Tim Conrad's A-1 Skyraider,

Uh... Thanks. I'll try these out. Do you know any good non-acceleration carriers that have cables? By the way, I have acceleration; I just can't install it until I get my new computer!
