I find the topic really amusing. I remember we had a meeting once where we discussed if we should model the tailhook feature for EA. Given that its not a carrier rated plane and even thinking about using the hook for anything other than airfield emergency landings is a sin.
We concluded that its top priority because it will be the very first thing DCS players will want to try out, lol. I could feel the SMEs shaking their heads slowly emoji51.png
 

If landing the F-4E on a carrier is a sin I wonder what punishment awaits me for landing the F-16?  Does tend to prang the gear and the carrier gets all officious about it, but I never did a good job of listening too close to what officers said.  The carrier crew will repair the F-15E gear for me, but they won't hook it up to the cat.  Seems rude.

Somewhere I have instructions for adding aircraft to the allowed list on SC.  I'll need to dig those up and see if we can't get bridles working for the E, particularly since mine always seem to have NAVY painted on them somewhere.

This would ruin my immersion.

Leave the hook up and chop the throttle on touch down.  Alternately don't land, or take off, on a carrier, but watch out for F-14s.  I believe the score is still NAVY - 1, AF - 0.  That pilot made Admiral, not too surprisingly given his daddy was also an admiral.
