Hi all,
are there any other aircraft carrier locations on FS-X besides San Francisco and Guam?
Thanks for your help, Amigo

Orion, You made my day.
Thanks for your info and thanks for the link.
It will be a busy evening for me and the carriers.
Thank you, Horst

Hi Orion;
I was wrong by saying yesterday:"you made my day" because.....
You made my day and my evening.
Thanks again for the link. I first picked out NAS Everett and found two carriers side by side a few miles NE of KPAE.
One of them had landing facilities and catapult launch. Beautiful!!
I first performed a carrier touch and go for area orientation, followed by three barrier landings and catapult launches. Quite exciting for a non Navy pilot and very enjoyable to see what FS-X can do. Great!!
How about navigational aids for carriers? I have a note saying:"The frequency for the default Acceleration carrier is 111MHz or TCN 47X. The frequency for Javier's Nimitz carrier is 112MHz or TCN 57X". Are these add-ons?
At NAS Everett I did not really need nav aids, I lined up on KPAE ILS final 16R (hook down) and at DME 3.7 took a left turn onto 050 which brought me right on final of the carrier.
Last question: Is there an equivalent AF Manual available for the Navy, to learn about carrier flight procedures, phraseology etc.?
Orion, thanks again for your help. I owe you one, Amigo

Yes, you'll need the NEW Realistic HUD for the FSX Acceleration F/A-18 Hornet by Jivko Rusev (neutrino here on these forums). Read more about it here: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=2342.0.

Probably NATOPS, but you'll definitely want to check out the Unofficial F/A-18 Acceleration Pack (http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0) board. The people who frequent there are really into FSX naval aviation, and some good discussions happen there. Feel free to pop by and ask questions there, as well.
There are a few other addons that are essential to FSX naval aviation, such as Javier's Nimitz (http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?108-Copyright&fid=140822), AICarriers2r2 (http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/aicarriers2r2.zip), vLSO (http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=4915.0) and the Sludge Hornet (http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=4057.msg57095#msg57095). Sorry, I'm a bit short on time at the moment, so I've just thrown a few links out there.
Glad I could help! :)
