Hi,

We used your list of fixes to do them so thank you for that.

Thank you.

Stickshaker, try something more like this [TailHook] section instead, replacing the one in the Tom Falley/Fliger747 Aircraft.cfg files.

[TailHook]
tailhook_length = 3
tailhook_position = -25, 0, 0
cable_force_adjust = 1

I made the changes to the tailhook section and now when it lands, it doesn't take a face plant into the flight deck however, the tail hook automatically retracts.
I noted on another thread here about the tail hook not fully extending to the deck when the aircraft is on the ground.

This is unrealistic, I ought to know, I've been
on many an aircraft carrier and seen the tail hook of all and any aircraft preflight checked and they all would extend fully to the flight deck, if they didn't, the plane's flight
was scrubbed till it was fixed.

Here is photo of successful trap with the new tail setting and notice that it is fully retracted. I didn't press SHIFT + Q after landing. The tail hook on this particular plane will
extend fully when the plane is airborne, and only then - (weight off wheels switch function?)

Hello John,<o></o>
It works fine! No problems anymore. Thanks for the tip.

Hi guys, I added the new FDE and love it.However, after the new FDE I can't start the engine without using ctrl E.The engine just turns over and will not catch.I've followed the checklist to the letter and tried other things as well.Anybody else having this problem?

Hi Stan (and everyone), this will solve that problem.

Go into the Aircraft.cfg file and find this line under [Piston_Engine]:

normalized_starter_torque=0.033471


Change it so that it reads:

normalized_starter_torque=.1



(I'm so used to simply pressing M++++ to control mags/starter, that I never have been accustom to using the actual starter switch inside the cockpit on most planes.)
