It has a hook, but in real life this was only intended for shore based training. Only the A4, Seahawk, and Seafire are fully equipped. I guess the next question is:  Where is it defined that the carrier show when flying a specific AC?  A quick cursory examination of the Hunter xml file showed nothing specific to the Nimitz Demo, nor does the Nimitz demo specify a specific craft,  so where is it?  I mean, maybe I want to TRY and land a C172 on the carrier (seems more than possible to me), or even a T38 (baracade?) ... or the Concorde even.... just for giggles :-)) Correct. The display of Nimitz does not depend on the aircraft chosen. There is nothing that I am aware of that should cause this. Depending on the version of Flightgear that you are running, no aircraft, YASim, or YASim and JSB aircraft will work with Nimitz. As you can see from:   http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/vmeazza/FlightGear/fgfs-screen-015.jpg   A non-carrier capable aircraft will work quite happily with Nimitz. Can you specify the carrier as your "airport" and do cat launches?   Not yet, but Mathias Froelich is working on it, but he is very busy with the day job … when he gets the time. Cat launches are already possible for those aircraft so equipped. Line up on the cat (not easy with differential braking). Press L to engage the cat, then C to fire the cat. So, are the other AI's AC dependent?  Sailboat; T-Storm; Refueling...?   NO V.
