I'm not sure how to edit carrier speed in Free Flight, but you can use a program called AI Boat Traffic Compiler (AIBTC) to get what you want with some minor FSX editing skills. I'd suggest downloading and installing Carrier Tracks 1 and 2, then using the AIBTC to modify the tracks and edit the boat's speed there.
If you don't have those or know where to get these files, google them with FSX included and if no success, holler back. I made a custom Carrier Track that puts a "CQ carrier" (Javier carrier w/T-45 and F-18s on deck; all cats and trap cleared) sailing from San Diego to Los Angeles at 0803L (Case I) and 2003L (Case III) at 15 kts. So all you have to do is setup the weather for 15+ kts down the deck, load up a Hornet at NASNI, save it, and youre ready to jump right into carrier quals. If you dont want to deal with editing, holler and I'll send you my custom .BGL file. It also includes a Tanker that takes off out of San Diego Airport and flies up to Vegas about 0810L and 2010L, so you can do some CQs and then get some day/night air-to-air refueling hacks on the way to Nellis.
Oh ok, I've been there a few times, one of my buddies went thru airforce UPT there as a Marine SNA (student naval aviator). It's OK, just out in the middle of BFE (Bum F^%K Egypt), so there wasn't a whole lot to do off-duty except workout, study for next flight, or get blitzed.
Yeah, I'm not an Okie, but I do have a great contractor job (E-3 mission crew sim driver) here at Tinker that pays the bills really well and keeps me in FSX Nav Av and being a golf instructor.
