Strut Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 What is it ? - It is a marker drawn on the deck to the right of each catapult that makes it easy to align your Hornet in the right zone to hook up to the cat. I made this for our Squadron who fly in VR which has been using this mod for a long time now and I thought I would share it with the community. I would like to thank Jar from VFA-113 STINGERS for allowing me to use his Stennis deck texture mod. Its not technical, its just a simple marking on the deck. Look at the pics below, a picture paints a thousand words. Uploading to user files ASAP.

Nealius Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Now if only we could get the jet to stay aligned on the cat track after pressing 'u'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Jaw Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Excellent idea and thanks. A thought: if you made it 2 lines on each side such that you had to line up both lines on each side, it would be more precise.

Shadoga Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Remember that those markers are only correct for the current F/A-18C. The correct positioning for each aircraft type depends on the lateral difference between nose gear (catapult rod) and pilot seat (eye position) along the aircraft's longitudinal axis.

Thanks Mower, but we have been using this for quite a few months now and its not really necessary to have two markers, all you need to do is make sure you line up straight onto the cat rail and look for the marker to stop when you line your shoulder up with it. With a little practice its hard to stuff it up.

Good point Shadoga, but im guesing that the line up with the indicator arrows will be similar or the same with the Tomcat because the "active hookup area " where "u" becomes active, will work in favor to Hookup the AC . We will see one way or the other.

Hunter Joker Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) If I host a game, I need to shut it off, unmark the legacy file check or it pass the check and I could leve it on?
