Are there any good freeware aircraft out there that work on FSX's Acceleration Package carriers? The F-18 that it comes with is fun but there must be some good freeware aircraft out there too.Thanks,Brandon

To the best of my knowlage none of the freeware developers have released any carrier ops aircraft specificly for Accell .Have you tried any FS9 portovers with a tailhook ?

Thanks for the replies.I realize that the Acceleration carriers have a schedule. Like the one based at KNZY sails up to San Francisco Bay on Wednesdays. Is there any way to know where a carrier is when it is en-route? Or do you just have to fly between its' departure port and arrival port to find it?Thanks,Brandon

You can have a carrier any time, anywhereusing that utility. Paul

Thank you, Paul.Brandon
