This add on is to address several concerns people have expressed in FSX.  Some cannot find the carriers, some cannot land on them to use the facilities.  Others like to move around the area on them and so on.

This particular one is based in Saudi Arabia, starting at Doha International.  The static version allows the use of GPS all day.  You can start from FSX on the carrier deck and use the cat launch and all facilities.  This without struggling to get on board in the first place.  You just use airport code OB52 to do so.  You can also launch, fly off somewhere, get totally lost and use the GPS to find your way back to the carrier.  You could also fly from anywhere in the world to the carrier using the GPS and the airport code.

Alternatively, turn off the static version in Add Ons/Scenery for now and turn on the moving version.  You can switch back any time you wish.  Fly to the carrier before 7am GMT (not local time) using the airport code/GPS or just use FSX to place you on the deck from the start with the airport code OB52.  Change the time to 06:59 and she will set sail around the island automatically, with you and your aircraft on board.  Use the speed feature up to 4X to get around quicker.  Fly off a bit and have a look around, then fly back (no GPS use whilst the carrier is moving.....).  Best to set June and it will be in daylight for the full journey.  The carrier will move about 25 miles every hour so its quite easy to find it.  You could go to the bay close to OEDR and change the time to about 13:00 hours, then watch it approaching.  Or set the time to 13:20 to see it arriving at its final destination close to the end of the large bay.

NOTES:

Some people have noticed a raised section of sea under the carrier.  This seems to be an occasional fault with FSX.  I`ve seen it once or twice occasionally but a reboot has sorted it.  I have not seen it for quite some time now.

If you start FSX and elect to start on the carrier deck this should work ok.  However, subsequent starts in the same session after flying around a bit may occasionally mean you end up in the drink (briny-sea-whatever).  Just pick the airport again (LG57) and it should get you on board.  A fresh start of FSX will definately get you on there.




I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH....

STATIC CARRIER=GPS/AIRPORT CODE ALL DAY
MOVING CARRIER=GPS/AIRPORT CODE BEFORE 7AM GMT ONLY........
