Any Good Plane With a Tailhook?

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, http://simviation.com/simviation/?ID=64 ... &mark=6050
To go along with Dino's F-14, http://simviation.com/simviation/?ID=64 ... &mark=6114

In addition to that, http://simviation.com/simviation/?ID=61 ... &mark=8379 (you can add a tailhook through the Control Menu).

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, http://simviation.com/simviation/?ID=64 ... &mark=8504 & http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SE ... raider.zip (with update)

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! >:(
