Hate to be the pessimist here but its not going to come out.

SUBS17:
Tacpac, then F/A-18F with full backseat mp and then the PRO. They have already done some work on it. ;)
And the FM will be able to do departures etc I'd compare it to DCS A-10C or Falcon 4 BMS.(already its FM is on that level but its the unstable stuff that will be possible)

LMAO

neutrino:
Hey, capt, thanks for the detailed description and comparisons ;) I needed to hear that you can really control altitude with throttle (and a little stick of course). Because I found on most aircraft in FSX, that adding throttle results more in an acceleration rather than increase in lift. So although I always give power when I need to climb (unless I am fast), I end up fighting the acceleration to stay within certain speed limits and AOA.

And congrats on the good passes! Not only you showed good flying skills, but proved that FSX carrier ops are quite realistic.

SUBS17:
I see you're flying with a Hog Hotas have you tried applying the walk the throttles technique for approach in FSX? Has anyone with a split throttle tried that?

GOONIE:
Just got off the phone with my friend, and brought up the carrier approaches the other day, wanted to debrief some more. He said he thought by the end of the session my control inputs (throttle and stick) had really smoothed out. He also said he didn't expect me to even catch a wire at all, and that he was pretty surprised with my two No Grade 4 wires, normally people don't even come close he said, or keep getting waved off (unless the LSO takes it easy on them).  He said he was also impressed with my calls being correct "11 Rhino Ball 8.0", etc. So I brought up the fact about going high almost every time AR and ITW on my last few approaches, and realized I was making a huge mistake! I misinterpreted the LSO's "easy with it" calls. He said I was looking good (AoA, lineup, and ball) and responding to the LSO's calls for "a little power", but when the LSO repeated "easy with it, easy with it" I held my power, or was not responding correctly AR and ITW. I thought the "easy with it" call had to do with wing oscillations (bank angle), but it is a call for reducing power slightly.  >:( Well I am sure you are all laughing, I can't believe I didn't know that, I guess I need to review the LSO calls in the NATOPS again. Well boltering and getting a four wire makes a lot more sense, and now I am really kicking my self.  

He said the LSO use different wording or sentence structure on purpose, so as to not be confusing. So you will always hear "come left" or "you're lined up right", but will never hear "come right" or "you're lined up left". The same is true for "little power" and "easy with it". He said its helps since you are operating on such few free brain cells during the approach (so focused on AoA, lineup, and meatball), that having calls that are only stated one way helps.
