I really can´t understand why Hans' carrier isn't working correctly. The basic Alpha scenery doesn´t include an Afcad file, but one named "CVN65_PuertoRico_LandableSurface.bgl". This harden the deck. Does Hans eventually miss it? There is an additional Afcad available somwhere in the web. I have it, but I modified the runway heading, as it it to short for AI landing. As Hans pointed out, the Afcad is esential to locate the carrier at all. Bernard

@Hans You got a PM. Bernard

Thanks for this extremely helpful contribution. That's why we remain on AVSIM site! Bernard

Well, what should I say? I added the AI aircraft more to see whether it would be shown correctly on the deck. As often, it needs a very long way to take off. Mostly due to the fact the it only begins the start at the island. It´s definitely too short. While landing, it approaches too low and don't reach the deck. Even if i created some traffic on other carriers, I never tried to incorporate catapults. IMO, carrier traffic depend too much of aircraft behaviors. Eventually I will place some aircraft as a static AI traffic and add than a more easier helicopter traffic Roosevelt Field to the Enterprise. Best regards, Bernard

Hi Hans, Meanhwile I installed the carrier and could found it thanks to the manual of Team SB Scenery. Faxct is, that I got a hardend deck. And the traffic Afcad doesn't need to be flattened. The aircraft in front is used as AI, the second one behind is a flyable model. I'm rather surprised that no Afcad has been created and released for this freeware. Eventually you should reinstall the scenery. I got it from the library here. Bernard

Can you specify which scenery you're referring to? I have several carriers with AI traffic installed, and your approach seems perfectly correct. That's why it's so puzzling and would need to be checked using the specific scenery. Bernard

Dedl-bashing, you never can stop it. Poor guy! Bernard

Oleg Chernikov (aka Aleck) from Retro AI site released once his RAI package for several flying eras. The common aircraft folder also includes also this DC-9-30 Iberia. In my case, it appears while using his 1991 traffic. That's the aircraft.cfg entry: [fltsim.4] title=Iberia Douglas DC-9-32 sim=aia_dc_9_30 model=reflective texture=iberia1 atc_id=EC-BIG atc_airline=Iberia ui_manufacturer=Douglas ui_type=DC-9-30 ui_variation=Iberia description=AI Aardvark DC-9-30 visual_damage=0 At least, this model isn't that worth like the awful Traffic 2005 aircraft suggested by Chris., And I mean all of them, BTW! Bernard

If the sim is so archaic and completely out of date, why is a forum still running? That's a bit of a strange statement for a moderator whose site has also been running well with FS9 for years! Bernard

Christian Page began to release some DC-6 and their repaints over Flightsim.com. These covers essentially their use beginning seventies, in contrast to CalClassic. Bernard

Which other flight simulators allow to fly in different eras (Roaring Thirties, war time or retro sixties) with adequate environments)? Let me know. Bernard

This is done with AFX of Flight1. ] With its interface it allows to get a WYSIWYG mode and to handle very easy Afcad. Even to create them in middle of nowhere! Bernard
