Glad it's working
Glad I was a little help for you. If you have any more questions, I can't promise I'll be able to answer, but I may be able to find an answer. It's what I'm good at
Enjoy it!
By the by, To make an even more realistic experience, in addition to AICarriers, throw in vLSO. It's a great little add-on program that simulates, you guessed it, LSO's on the boat. They seem pretty realistic to me, too. They give me crappy reviews every time. I think Paddles, the author, wrote in some special "Hate Pat" coding
It has a thread on the FSDT forums too, which you can find here:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,4915.0.html . The download for it can be found here:
http://vlso.blogspot.com/ . Look over on the right side, under the DOWNLOADS heading. OR, you can click on the logo in Paddles' signature, which will take you to the blog also. Be aware, Paddles has been making a lot of upgrades/changes lately, so you might want to check the forum thread every so often.
Finally, for the best, in addition to all the above, once you get your boat positioned where you want it, and moving forward, go to your Weather settings, and make the wind come down the deck at about 10 kts. It makes a difference.
I hope you're using the FSDT F/A-18C v16.1. It's one of the greatest Hornets ever there was. You can download it here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3So3WwTLPRZVU1jaVUtTXZIVVU/view?usp=sharing . It has an autoinstaller. Using it, you can install different loadouts, like Clean (no armament or pylons), Training (centerline tank, pylons, no armament), A-A (centerline tank, Sidewinder and Sparrow missiles), etc etc. I personally prefer the Training version, since, with the centerline tank, I can go practice ACM, then start making CQ runs without refueling.
It will also install the required C++ Redistributable required for the FCS to function. Be aware that during the install, it may SEEM to have frozen, or locked up. It's NOT frozen or locked up. Just leave it run. It will finish in it's own good time.
Anyhow, whatever you use, enjoy it. That's the point, after all!
