Su-25T with hook

[kobac]

I hope that is not so complicated - it is possible to make this accessory - a working hook on Su-25T for aircraft-carrier landing.

 

 

 

 

I know it wouldn't be a Su-25 UTG version, but it might be better because this version was intended only for training landing on an aircraft carrier.

 

What do you think?

I was doing a search looking for "tailhook" and this post came up, top of the list...

 

According to the username Moa, in the LockOn > General Discussion forum, there is a post with scripting examples concerning LockOn; I do not know if these scripting examples also apply to DCS or DCS World. I am pretty sure any aircraft can be modded with a hook. His Stallturn Mod and his server are testament to that via the F-14 and F-18 in FC2.

I think, though the Su-25T is a DCS World freebie, I think it is basically FC2 (I may be wrong). I know it uses only 4 threads, 2 cores and does not use my SLI in DCS World.

Backup your folder before experimenting and rename the copy to a different directory in case you mess up.

wrong verb

Judging by the interest for this topic it seems - this is not a desirable mode.

Isn't new 3D model with arguments needed to make hook workable (same as making "swing" wings in Su-24?

I updated my Message #2 here.

 

Moa did it, the guy that made the EFA mess of aircraft did it and there is an ADA French mod that uses French aircraft carrier jets. There is a small fraternity of simulated virtual naval aviators that enjoy the various navies' jets at sea.

 

I would say it can probably be done, more likely by a modder, as an add-on embellishment, than by the DCS World staff gurus.
