Does anyone know where I can download (and name of file) a good Aircraft Carrier and Aircraft (F18 or F14) with tail hooks for doing takeoff and landings on the Aircraft Carrier. I am using FS 2004. Thanks.. Very Happy

Very Happy Hello, how about having your aircraft carrier sail the seas ?
I found this file over at www.flightsim.com called "ai ships.zip" and it gives you tips and tricks for adding your own shipping lanes any where in fs9
I have not tried this and would like know how you get on if you go for it

Good luck and Happy landings/sailings

I knew that I saw this somewhere, it's been bothering me since I saw your question, the answer to all of your wish's (I hope).

As an old salt myself, I think it would be interesting to try landing on a carrier. I will check this out when I have time. Thanks all.

In FS 2004 the aircraft carrier "Kitty Hawk" , CVN 63, is anchored and/or dead in the water a couple of miles outside San Francisco Bay. I flew a Piper Cub out to look it over. There are no aircraft on the flight deck and no sign of any crew onboard. I don't know if it has usable arresting wires for your tail hook aircraft. It probably doesn't have a usable VASI or electronic glide slope, so you would have to land all on your own. I was tempted to try landing the Cub on the Kitty Hawk, then decided to do it another day.

No, it doesn't have arresting wires, VASI or glide slope. You can land a small plane on it it (I've done with a Cessna 172 and a helicopter) but you've got to come in very slow, or you'll roll right off the other end.
