Intrepid:
Thanks for the link VooDoo
I finally got it to work yesterday
and it works with the Windows 7 operating system too ;D
Took me three tries to land your Herk on the deck though,,Lol, ;)
Nice to have a carrier moving,,instead of stationary
Big difference
Thanks again for the referral

Hey Fellers...
Just uploaded and was trapping with the new HUD and realized that these new carriers are slower than the default Acceleration Carriers. The only reason I make note of this is that, if you are a By-The-Book Navy Pattern flyer (as I try to be), then using this carrier is much better in that respect. From my analysis the AC is steaming at 35 kts and takes on average :26 from 3/4 final (.7nm) to touchdown. Whereas Javier's carrier steams at 26 kts and takes on average :21. Now, this is still about 3-4 secs slower than real life (18 secs), but at least its closer to realistic.
If you want to compare, I had a fun game of carrier chicken, then lined them up side-by-side to give people a visual of the speed difference.
Enjoy.

Sludge, thanks for info - those graphics are a bit TOO DARK! for me. Get a bit of daylight. Works wonders. ;D
Sludge:
Yeah, I might come back to the light someday?!
Do you know how to modify the carrier speeds? Would love it if I could tinker with their speed to about 15-20 kts and see what happens then?
Anybody... Bueller... Bueller....
SpazSinbad:
Sludge, Sorry I have no idea how to modify carrier speed. What Wind are you using?
One thought - you could make the carrier steam downwind with the wind coming back up the angle a bit to nullify some forward carrier speed? Sum (of all fears) would be whatever it is? Yeah I'll stop the jokes.
SHOW ME THE MONEY! It is my (Bueller's) day off. ;D
