I have tried using Dino's T-45C (Ver. 2.2.1) with my COP3 gauge. I put the tailhook down on the ground with the COP3 gauge. It says the hook is too short. I can see it is too short. I had 10% fuel onboard so the A/C sat a little high. The position gauge says the tailhook is at 100%. I tried changing the tailhook length in the aircraft.cfg and still get the too short error. The COP3 readme says to change the third parameter in the tailhook section. Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how can I fix it? Thanks, Bob.

 

 

Hi Bob,

 

here are my entries for the F-18 :

 

 

[TailHook]

tailhook_length=4

tailhook_position=-15.0, 0.0, -5.7

cable_force_adjust=1.0

 

If the COP3 indicates "too long" give it a try. Too long works ! Too short is a problem.
