Flaming Cliffs 3 or the standalone Su-25 are required for this mod to function.
A mod that adds a new carrier and catapult capable Su-25 variant with an invisible tailhook. I am currently trying to figure out how I can add a physical hook model that we can all see, and have completed the 3d model and animations for it.
The catapult system for this mod was not written by me, that credit goes entirely to the Community A-4E mod team from back when they still used SFM on their project.
This is based on the carrier capable Su-25T mod I am also working on, which doesn't require any modules to use.

CHANGELOG v1.3:
- Cockpit position is identical to the Su-25 thanks to finding where the original view files are inside DCS
- More flight model tuning to prevent overperformance, trying to find a balance where ski jump carriers are plausible while keeping the jet from overperforming excessively
If you encounter any issues at all or just have a suggestion for improvement, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Fixing bugs is the number one priority, and any ideas to help make this mod better are always greatly appreciated.
KNOWN BUGS:
- The taxi turn radius is stupidly fast at extremely slow speeds, you spin around like a frisbee
- The jet rolls backwards when brakes are not held down on a carrier deck, you can press pause while holding down the brakes or in multiplayer press pause and go into the controls menu while holding it down to let it hold itself down for now
INSTALLATION:
All that you need to do is paste the Su-25N folder inside of your Saved Games directory (ex: C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft)
If you have never installed a mod like this before and do not have a Mods folder in Saved Games,
you are meant to make your own, then also make the aircraft folder inside.
