tailhook!

[carmadmike]

i have figured out that to open the cargo doors and more i need to do something with a tailhook, what is it and how do i do it

[machineman9]

the tailhook is a hook at the end of some aircraft which lets them land on carriers. the hook attaches to the rope on the deck of a carrier and it slows the plane down quickly so it doesnt fall off the edge (or take half a mile to stop)

check the README file that came with the aircraft, it will tell you how to activate it (might be I or /  or something else)

The tailhook function is not assigned as default within flight sim.

You must find it in the assignments menu and give it a key command.
Most people use Shift + T  ;)

Are you using Cosmottic's dash 8?

If so there is a switch at the top of the panel in the VC view.

In any other plane the wipers switch should be in the vc.

Again, check the readme
