let me guess - You added a mod?
Because I made the thing, it works as is in BAT.

Can confirm, arrestor hook works fine for me in BAT.

I'm crap at (properly) landing it on a carrier deck, but it's slow enough that my inability to get my tail down fast enough isn't an inhibition

I'm betting that someone failed to assign a key command to the tailhook function

I do understand what was wrong : I was playing the plane in BAT 4.0 .
Now I upgraded it to 4.2.1 + hotfix and the arresting hook works .

However , there is still something strange with the flaps .
I can toggle flaps , but there are no flaps moving in external view .

So , does this plane have flaps or not ?

It has working flaps in the FM but no 3d animation. (which is the case for a few "rawer" mods....)

The plane was left unfinished as a mod.
I did a few rudimentary things, like adding a primitive hitbox (just fuselage) and a working hook and some FM work  to make it playable.
