Here's my two cents... I did a quick and dirty SimConnect test which proved feasible. An airplane can be 'pushed' back programmatically with gradually decreasing speeds, which looks authentic. I think that it is also possible to make the whole trapping process looking 'real' - you first catch the wire, then the airplane starts decelerating until full stop, then it rolls 5..6 feet back and stops again until you retract the tailhook...  :)

Sweet!  I looked over the XML from the Sludge 2.0 test jet, but I couldn't figure out where the values came from, i.e. 7375.  In general I just don't understand the XML code structure very well.  Going to try to read up on it though this weekend, see if I can't take a swing at this whole modding business.

Those values (7375) come from a percentage of 16383 (which is the FULL VALUE of applying any FSX axis/switch/lever). So, say you wanted the FULL braking power, you'd KEY SET right/left brake axis to 16383, and FSX would in turn apply full toe brakes to MLG brakes. Now if you wanted say, 75%, then do simple division and have the XML KEY SET 12287... AND, as importantly, make sure one the AND statements in the XML says that if "LEFT/RIGHT BRAKE AXIS" are already equal to/less than 75%, don't KEY IN 12287. If you don't do this, you'll get a buncha KEY FLOODING.

Hope this helps and I think this discussion has helped me spot a simple mistake in one of the XMLs.

That would be really nice

I am just wondering who can release such an addon  ;)
