Our VF-84 Squadron were hoping since Milviz has the F-86 Varient Platform how possible would it be for your
developers to come out with the FJ-3M U.S. Navy aircraft carrier varient?... We would appreciate a positive feedback if possible. Thank you.

We have seen the U.S. Navy textures for the Aerosoft F-86 but the tail hook and launch bar are not animated.
I think we need the carrier varient just like the F-4E has the F-4S/J Carrier varient. We are ready to purchase!

Sorry but no.

That's quite alright. Will endorse another developer with the proposal in question. Thank you for your products.

Can you atleast include a working tailhook and lever indication light in the cockpit addon?

I will consider this.

An awesome photo! I never knew they made a career capable version of the F-86. I especially like the fact that the canopy is open - SOP in those days before the zero-zero ejection seats.

Re "carrerizing" MILVIZ's F-86…I suppose you could try a deck run…would probably take a carrier doing 30+ knots into a 30+ knot headwind since I noticed the F-86 isn't all that "quick" on acceleration…of course the virtual flight deck crew and shooter would be blown overboard …

Trapping would be "problematic" - however, I have proven the belly landing feature works - that might stop it in time…running over all the virtual yellow shirts that hadn't been blown over the side.

Just a thought.

BTW, I'm a former VF-32 Swordsman - in the mid-1980's when they flew Tomcats.

Thanks for your service Hangar 200 I'm also Navy retired I served from 1990 to 2010. But yeah I added a tail hook script and launch bar to the Milviz F-86 and it works.
The only thing In the VC cockpit I don't have any visual light tail hook indication? I just push the assigned tail hook key stroke and hope for the best! lol. Good flying my friend.

Isn't that what the Boss and Mini-Boss is for? Check for hook down when they come into break? I can hear the sarcastic radio call now, "Gypsy 201, are you thinking about landing?…'cause right now you're set for a touch-and-go."

Thank you too for your service!
