arrcab.dat file

Postby idahosurge » Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:07 am

Where do I find the arrcab.dat file?  I downloaded some Lemoore NAS scenery that has arrestor cables on the runway and I need to add them to the arrcab.dat file, but I can not find it.

I have ArrestorCable v2.6 and I added the Lemoore arrestor cable data to that dat file, but it did not work so I think that I need to add the data to the FSX file.  I do have Acceleration and the F/A-18A and I can land on the FSX carrier, so the arrcab.dat file must be somewhere.

Regards,

Rod

I hope you have searched for it? if so try again but leave out the file type.
It might have gotten renamed . Just search for arrcab 8-)

Speaking of ArrCab v26, I have it installed also but like you I have problem locating the .xe file. Also I don't know if this is related to ArrCab26 or FD5 but the only "nice trap" I get after landing on the carrier is with the F18. All other aircraft overshoot although it looked like I got the cables. I have Acceleration and SP1. One more thing, does ArrCab conflict with FD5? Do I have to have them both to play carrier ops? I heard about some licensing issues. Cooments?

Garymbuska, l did search for the arrcab file, I used windows search and searched G:, that is where FSX is installed.

I got ArrestorCable v2.6 to work.

Bubblehead, I have no clue what the .xe file is and I am not at home so I have no way of looking for it.  I also have no idea what FD5 is so I can not help you there either.  I have only flown the Acceleration F/A-18 on to carriers, I have not tried anyother plane.
