Flight Deck 4 FSX

Is it just me or do the aircraft in FD4 handle like a bag of sh*t they may look very good but handle nothing like fsx standard aircraft as for landing on the carrier rubbish!

I for one agree with you. The additional problem you have as I see it is that you don't have fs9.

In fs9 you can just ignore the FD4 aircraft and use proper ones instead -- of which there are plenty to choose from might I add.

Well, at least the carrier works properly, so if you wait a few more months, you should have some decent FSX a/c that you can use instead.

Check out this fs9 thread and you'll get an idea of the variety of COPS enabled a/c available: http://flyawaysimulation.com/postt25919.html

You'll also see that the author uses a variety of carriers, including the FD4.
