Aircraft Catapult and Arresting Gear - Part 1



"Uploaded by PeriscopeFilm on Nov 6, 2009

Landing aboard an aircraft carrier is a task fraught with danger under normal conditions. When an aircraft has a malfunction or becomes disabled, it can be especially dangerous. The Mark-V barricade was developed to arrest disabled aircraft which, for whatever reason, may not be able to land by conventional "hook on a cable" means. Shown in this film are the procedures used to deploy the barricade, with commentary about how teamwork and attention to detail makes all the difference."

Good to hear from ya.  Bad news is, unless you have GOBS of time and a heavy imagination, my answer would be no.  It would be seriously cool to get a barricade, but I wouldnt even know where to start or how a gauge could be made to get a barricade.  And in the end you'd only have a gauge effect, similar to FSX carrier wires (trap zones, cable force equivalents, whatnot), and not a realistic barricade that used some type of visible "virtual physical wires" to catch you.

Based on what I've seen FSX do in its missions my answer is yes this is possible it requires 2 people that I can think of to implement it.
1/ is Javier the maker of the Carrier to add the barricade to the deck, animations and possibly even the ground crew animation as they put it up.
The 2nd person needed is the mission maker to add this to the script so the carrier needs an ATC with declaring an emergency function added to the mission script. Then upon declaring the requirement the carrier could errect the barricade and there you have it. Realistic landing distance could also be added. (I bet Orion could do that)
For MP you would also want a realsitic situation which creates the necessity to declare the emergency that could also be added to mission script as a failure or as combat damage from SAMs/AAA.
