June 18, 200916 yr Looks great, but "This software has not been tested on Windows Vista. It may requires manual tweaking of exe.xml. See the included sample_EXE.xml file" scared me off. Any personal Vista 64 experience?

Any personal Vista 64 experience?Works fine on Win7 x64, so probably no probs on Vista either. https://www.youtube.com/user/JustaRandomSimmer Simulator Videos http://sierra-hotel.blogspot.com Aviation Picture Blog
June 18, 200916 yr No probs here on Vista64............This Carrier is "The Bomb"Did you have to make any modifications to any files as suggested?
June 18, 200916 yr "To many of us, flying FSX is very much like peeling potatoes, not much fun to it - as you can't do much more than take off and fly here and there, then land."As opposed to flying here and there and then landing on an aircraft carrier? It's a flight simulator just exactly what else is that you think it should do?
June 18, 200916 yr Did you have to make any modifications to any files as suggested?Hello Tim,I must have been in to much of a hurry to install that I missed those modifications,I just installed as per instructions and it's great!!
June 19, 200916 yr I was a Navy JAG and the biggest missed opportunity of my life was not finding a way to catch a COD to a carrier. I did get a lot of helo rides, but from what I hear those are not nearly as exciting as trapping a wire. Of course, you get a little certificate that says what wire you trapped, which would look so cool in my office. I am definitely going to give this a try, although the Acceleration isn't bad, either. Doesn't look anything like this though.
June 19, 200916 yr This is an absolutely fabulous package. For the first time ever, I was able to trap using the "meatball" (still not easy to do on a 17" monitor at 1024x768). In the past, it always had to be a combination of flight path marker (which does work so well now that the carriers move) and ILS needles. It would be great if somehow it could have a TACAN or ILS, as right now this is entirely limited to VFR flight. Still fabulous. Now we just need a spectacular USN jet to go with it. The T-45C is good for freeware, but a bit rough on the edges in terms of VC and systems. And the MSFS Hornet is unbelievably good for a default MSFS aircraft, but in the end is just that. I just hope the VRS guys are on top of getting the FSX Rhino out. Eric Szczesniak
June 19, 200916 yr Commercial Member I know I should probably ask in the forum for the addon, but despite installing the latest JRE, and following install instructions exactly, when I run carrier.exe, i get a box with error messages referring to java and simconnect. Any clues as to where I am going wrong? cheers,Mark

Any clues as to where I am going wrong? cheers,MarkI have the same problem trying to install the JRE and the AICarriers2 so I can get this to run. I'm still trouble-shooting it, but so far unsuccessfull. Even manually added the FSX.XML edits recommended by the AICarriers2 example (when AICarriers2 didn't make them). Running Vista64 Ultimate, just like Mark.If anyone else is running Vista64 with this, just how did you install it all to get it to work? Rick Ryan
