Well after spending several hours looking for arrestorcables on the internet only to find that ArrCab is now owned by Abucus i was very disapointed. However, lucky me, last year i Downloaded ArrCab v1.4 on my old comp thinking it was an aircraft carrier... So even after i dled it and found what it could do i was so lazy i didnt want to set it up. on the other hand it was because i was lazy i still have it. (now worth about $30) i didnt delet it.... so after finding the little bits and pieces needed to get it to work (3 hours) i had some fun. heres a shot of the F-18 me and G-force have been working on along with our Ju-87. one is to be freeware.



and to keep up with the fad

747-400 lined up for the aproach


747-400 call the ball... roger ball on glide slope


747-400 over the wake preparing to cut power


front view


747-400 over end marker cutting power


747-400 touch down


turning off the runway.


I hope you liked them.

P.S if you want more (closer) shots of the Hornet tell me

hey nice work. I find the 744 hard to land at an airport and you did it on a carrier

doesn't the pilot go to full throttle at touchdown just in case they miss the wire and have enough speed to liftoff again?

good angles, nice job  8)

lol very nice pics and landing

tim yes your right the pilot does go to full afterburners after touch-down. After re reading my post i c that i am not clear... i guess what i meant was that i would cut power in advance to touch down.

Okay, just checking..

Great job btw.. good millimeter-movements on that 744..

Judging from the pics, the carrier crew seemed to be very scared whe they saw you coming in with a 747.  ;D

RADIO OPERATOR from TOWER: Sir, I am recieving some kind of distress call telling us to clear the deck. All of it.

COMMANDER: Have you identified the aircraft?

RADIO OPERATOR: Yes sir. I just got an ID on the aircraft. It's a.......UH OH!!!! Sir, I really do suggest that we follow what it says.

COMMANDER: Why?

RADIO OPERATOR: Well, it's big, it's coming in fast and we have no time to tell it to abort. (Looks out the window) OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

DECK CREW MEMBER #1: HOLY SHhhh, CLEAR THE DECK. ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!! MOVE IT, MOVE IT!!!!!!!

(Everyone clears and takes cover)

(Jumbo jet engine sounds getting stronger by the second, real fast)

(HUGE THUD. Aircraft carrier tips at an angle and slightly changes heading due to the force).

COMMANDER: Call the MPs. Now!!

More shots of the Hornet, please.

I can't wait to get one of these gMax/FSDS2 Hornets coming out... ...

PS:  How far along is it now?

very nice!  ;)

Subject line is deceiving

I am left here with my jaw on the floor at this minute, I don't know how you managed landing that monster on the carrier! But I think the cables grab program had a lot to do with the success of that landing!
I would try it but I don't even know where to begin with getting that carrier and arrestor cable progam to work with it. So I stick to landing my helicopters on the Default wack ass looking carriers! Truly exciting landing though! Great work! Definately left the hairs on my back standing just looking at it happening!

Hey thanx for all of the great posts Oh and rifleman sry about the missconception..  :P i was going to post about the F-18 untill i remembered about the 747 plus i thought i would wait untill the new textures of the Hornet were complete befor taking more pics...
