FSX Vought F8 Crusader Update

Vought F-8 Crusader pilots can now launch and recover from carrier decks with proper catapult assistance, thanks to updated aircraft.cfg launch bar pivot and lug geometry for FSX. The config refresh is intended for the Alphasim F-8 Crusader as modified by Bob Chicilo and requires that base package.

This is an update of the Alphasim F-8 Crusader originally modified by Bob Chicilo (F8CRUSADERUPFSX.ZIP). This config file adds the launch assistance - launch bar pivot and launch bar lug positions - to the aircraft.cfg file in order to allow the aircraft to land and launch from equipped aircraft carriers. Just copy the file to your ALPHA F8 Crusader - modified by Bob Chicilo- and overwrite when requested. By Anthony Eades.
