I have another way to start aboard a carrier anywhere you want in the world. It does take a little action on your part and isn't something you can just download, but when you figure out how to do it it works like a champ.

First download the Airport Design Editor from here: http://www.airportdesigneditor.co.uk/

Then create an airport (I named mine CV68) anywhere in the world you want your carrier to be, and make the altitude of the airfield 72 feet. Also go into the Approach mode and add a terminal waypoint on your airport (I called mine NIMTZ, remember it has to be 5 digits or less, alphanumeric). Save and compile your airport in addon scenery. Thats it!!!!

Now go into FSX, open free flight, find your airport under it's ID (mine is CV68) select airport and time like you normally would. Select fly now.

Your jet will start at 72 feet above the water appearing to float. Don't panic, pause your simulation. Now go to World, Map and make sure your terminal waypoint is there, this is important. Click OK, then go to AICarrier and add the carrier of your choice, at facility waypoint and at the top of your list should be NIMTZ, click on that, majically your carrier will appear under you. Now you can unpause your mission and start your carrier moving if you choose.

The best part is now you can do flight plans from your carrier and back. I tried to add my airport file to this post, but .BGL files are not allowed to be uploaded for whatever reason.

Any questions, let me know, I will try and do a simple tutorial for this also, eventually. Good Luck!

I was at about 1500ft / 350 knt training for break landing.
