After recently downloading Shessi's Nakajima A4N1 and IJN Hosho package, I wanted a few more options for tailhook flying on Japanese carriers.
I may be the "last of the Mohicans" to discover these, but there are two excellent ship and AI aircraft scenery packages at Flightsim.com that have the four Japanese and three US Navy carriers and their support ships positioned as they were at the Battle of Midway. The files are uss_mdwy.zip for the US forces and midway_j.zip for the Japanese forces.
There is also a patch, fsx_mid.zip, that allows the packages to be used in FSX but Yanco's Midway ships are available in FSX as moving platforms that can be placed with AICarriers so you'd probably want to go that route in FSX.
Screen shots show a A6M2 Zero joining up on one of the AI B5N2 Kates from the Japanese strike group, and a SBD launching from USS Hornet (CV-8). It was fun flying over the Japanese ships around 7:40 am and watching planes launch.
