On the subject of carriers, I've managed to get ILS, IFLOLS, TCAN and LSO working on the Ark Royal IV (my favourite) and others.
Basically you need the gauges from the Royale French Navy Fouga_Zephyr_FSX_v2.0.zip (Etendard uses a VC switch for LSO).
The Ark Royal seems quite fussy. I changed it's frequency in the file Carrier.xml to 110.00 (Clemenceau_1995 to 112.00) although I first had it working on 112.5. What works for me is to set NAV2 to 110, switch on the TCAN gauge, wait for the range and bearing to show, then quickly switch NAV2 to 111.00 then NAV1 to 111.00 also. The ILS should immediately show up in the HUD. You guys may be able to work out a more elegant way of doing this.
I haven't got a definitive list of exactly which gauges are required, I suggest adding the sludge HUD to the Zephyr first, then install the Etendard which has later file versions (which overwrite the Zephyr's). You can then copy the gauges over to any aircraft.
This line is required in the VC section for the LSO to work;
gauge00=dsd_xml_sound3!dsd_xml_sound3, 5, 0, 5, 5,.\gauges\dsd_sonsCM175.ini
I don't know how to add additional carriers to Carrier.xml, but there's a few in there. Also it looks possible to change the carriers geometry if need be. Incidentally IFLOLS seems to be limited to use 111.00 or 112.00, which is why I use these frequencies.
vLSO is looking good, ideally I'd like to be able to use it without needing to use a mission.
Cheers.
