    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Any SNJ models with an actual tail hook?

It seems that I can find no AT-6/SNJ freeware or payware models for FS9/FSX or later that have an actual operating (visible moving) tailhook. There was one for CFS, but does not seem to work in FSX.

I realize AT-6's did not have one, and only built/converted SNJ "C" versions had them. Many have painted up AT-6s as SNJs, which is OK, but would like one with a real hook.

Any ideas??
 
Take a look at the Sky Unlimited series.

It's not well documented but I do believe they have a model with tail hook as well as other features for landing on a carrier.
 
I confirm Wozza's T-6 had a usable hook :)

Thanks for hint on Wazzo's T-6; The hook can be shown externally, and their is a handle for the hook on the starboard VC cockpit wall above the console, but it seems not to be for anything except visual (it has a tool tip). Anyone ever been able to actually lower the hook so it shows externally?
 
Nice picture - my keyboard shortcut nor the VC handle seem to work for me. Guess I'll keep fumbling for awhile
 
Aha!! - I moved the VC around a little so the tailhook knob just shows under the starboard canopy rail and it works!

Thanks for the help - nice airplane, too.
