i had the same problem when i first got it too. the problem our gaving is probably because you dont have all the scenery in the right location. in the addon scenery foler you needed to have made a folder callled ArrCab KNHK Cables and you need to have and ArrestorCables DAT file in the main addon scenery folder also. and you need a SCENERY DAT file in the addon scenery folder. you dont have the Arrestor Cables DAT file in your addon scenery folder. put that in there and you should see the carriers.

Well if their not in the create a flight you should run the CD again and instal it again. If you are taking about the dont show up as addon scenery on the screen where you choose the airport. Thats ok, it doesnt show up on m screen either.

The USS George Washington CVN 73 has been positioned in 4 different locations in Flight Sim including:

• Gulf of Mexico: C73P (off of Pensacola, FL)
• Bay of Biscay: C73B (off the coast of France and Spain)
• Persian Gulf: C73G (off the coast of Saudi Arabia and Iran)
• Sea of Japan C73J (Between the Koreas and Japan)

The frequencies for the USS George Washington are as follows:

VOR: 112.20
NDB: 373.0
ILS: 110.30

Scenery Installation
In order for the carrier to appear in Flight Sim, they must be added to the Flight Sim’s Scenery Library. This is done automatically using the Flight Deck III Scenery Setup. The Scenery Setup is a small program that will add the scenery to Flight Sim automatically. You can start the program by clicking one of the following (depending on your version of Flight Sim:

Start | Programs | Abacus Software | Flight Deck III | Flight Deck III Scenery Setup for FS2002
Start | Programs | Abacus Software | Flight Deck III | Flight Deck III Scenery Setup for FS2004

Hi Habu, I tired using the codes :
• Gulf of Mexico: C73P (off of Pensacola, FL)
• Bay of Biscay: C73B (off the coast of France and Spain)
• Persian Gulf: C73G (off the coast of Saudi Arabia and Iran)
• Sea of Japan C73J (Between the Koreas and Japan)

to try and locate them in create a flight but no such luck. I can use them in the presaved flights but just not in the create a flight. is it possible (do you know) for this to work.

Well, I am no expert with Flight Deck !!! And I usually never read directions till held underwater for a time, but when I go to Create a Flight, it is listed as "Flight Deck !!" under "Other" toward the bottom. I have taken 2 flights and three dunkings! The dunkings came from not reading the directions and having no catapult. But man, after I armed the catapult...Wow! I took off in a F-18, circled around and made a successful trap ! I like it !! Hope it works for you as it is great ! The ILS worked perfectly, but I never found the Nav 2 display..will have to check that out ! Good Luck, rob
