RE: [Flightgear-devel] A4F Model
In YASim, The launch bar or strop and the holdback can be attached to any part of the aircraft, including the nose-wheel leg. So a nose-wheel tow can be simulated if that is appropriate for the aircraft type. IIRC the first such aircraft was the F14 Tomcat, and all subsequent USN carrier aircraft have been so equipped. So far as I am aware, the A4 was never fitted with a nose-wheel tow capability, and certainly not the A4F. Thanks for the offer of the diagram please send it I will keep it against the day we do a nose-wheel tow aircraft. (Mathias is still working on a F/A 18). Thanks Vivian P.S. I suppose I ought to qualify the any part above: the holdback attachment point has to be aft of the launch bar attachment point J Isao Yamashita wrote Looks so nice, but do you have the newer catapult hooks too (the one hooks to the launch bar, and the tension bar holding at the back of the nose gear strut) ? I can send some diagrams if you need.
