James, I'm curious: what are those red lines in your screenshots?

Mr. microbrewst,
Those lines are guide markers from the tool that I use to visually display the co-ordinates (aircraft.cfg) for objects like the Tailhook and Pivot Lug/launch bar (and many others) on the aircraft model.  As you can see from those screenshots, sometimes developers, ignore or misplace them between the actual locations of the models positions for those objects and the aircraft.cfg file information that FSX relies on to make those features function correctly.

Hope that answers your questions.  :)  

micro:
Very Nice! Where were you able to find that tool? I'd love to be able to use it.

tazzharm:
Hello
if I may ask ESzczesniak a question please...the screenshots you posted ( very nice by the way), are they from fsx or fs9?
reason is any aircraft carrier I've seen has no other aircraft on them excecp the one docked outside sandiego...i beleive..
it's been awhile since I have worked with the f-18 and carriers since I went back to basics and single props to learn to fly .
so has there been an update carrier package?
thanks in advance.
tazzharm.

Mr. microbrewst,
The application is called ShowMarkers; all it does is visually indicate to you in FSX where the co-ordinates of objects are and you will need to figure out how to modify the Aircraft.cfg file's settings to make correct modifications.  Also, can't remember where I downloaded it as it was some years ago.  But Google it and you might find something; if not let me know and I'll zip and post it here (if the author does not object).

Good Luck!  :)

Yes; Here: Javier Fernandez's Nimitz carrier released.  It also utilizes AICarriers r2r utility so you'll need to download that as well if you don't already have it.

Enjoy!  :)
