It seems to me that it's difficult for people to find the carrier, let alone line up and land on it at first. So therefore it makes sense to me for the carrier to be somewhere where it can be seen, and familiar landmarks can be used. When I can get the TACAN done, then this will no longer hold, and we can put the carrier in a more realistic situation. How many queries on the do you want saying: "I've started the Nimitz demo, but it doesn't work because I can't find the carrier anywhere"? For my testing, of course, I can put it where I like, no problem. If someone could give me a steer (pun intended) on TACAN that would be good. In real life an aircraft controller would give an aircraft a course to recover back to the carrier. That would be nice to implement too. I'd even settle for a Melchior balloon (if pressed).
