Carrier aircraft. Uses F-16 pit by default. Need to bind tail hook and flaps. CTRL-F9, CTRL-F10 for flaps.
This thing does not catch the catapult. It also only knows two throttle speeds: full and off. This makes things challenging when taxiing. To take off, get lined up between and behind the catapult by about 50 feet, drop full flaps, full throttle and take off. You may hear some loud grinding, that seems to be normal. Just raise your gear and carry on.
The flight model is not realistic; it has an instantaneous turn rate of 60 degrees.
To land, slow down to about 150 kts, drop the tail hook and the gear, lower flaps fully and catch the wire.
