In order for an aircraft to catch a wire on a FSX Acceleration carrier, does the Shift + Q "raise/lower tailhook" command have to see a physical tailhook in the plane's .mdl file or is the [Tailhook] entry in the aircraft.cfg file all it takes? Reason I'm asking, I downloaded A.F. Scrub's VE-7 Bluebird biplanes to land aboard the USS Langley (CV-1). A.F. did not provide a tailhook-equipped version so I figured no problem, I'll just add a tailhook section in the .cfg file. No such luck, I cannot get the VE-7 to catch a wire on Langley no matter what tailhook numbers I enter in the .cfg file. It won't trap on Yanco's USS Enterprise (CV-6) either. Any help is appreciated as always.
