OK guys.. This is great news for those of you who don't have enough aircraft carriers. I downloaded the great Waikato.zip and the accvall3.zip and I now have 18+ the waikato they work great but look a little dated.. maybe we all can spice them up with textures, if its still legal these days? anyways enjoy and have fun. when installed they will be in add on scenery airport listing. Check the box at the bottom of the airport page. Every one that I have loaded has worked so far.
EACH CARRIER FEATURES:
-- landable elevators, flight deck and hangar deck (use a helo or slew mode to get to the hangar deck)
-- an entry in the latest Arrestor Cables .dat file (see web site for latest ArrCab program and .dat file download - not included in this zip)
-- detailed model, with mules, crane, crew, mast, radar tower, etc.
-- rotating radar dish
-- nav aids: ILS 110.3
VOR 108.4
NDB 3xx, where xx = the ship's ID number,
for example CVN-73 has NDB 373
-- refueling zone (starboard bow elevator, outboard of the mule and 'grape')
-- starting point available -- in 'World > Go to airport > Add on Scenery' dialog -- select 'Search Add-on Scenery', look under 'ArrCab Carriers'
-- GPS entry (CVNxxNN, where xx is ship's ID number, and NN is a letter code indicating the location of that particular ship -- e.g. CVN75IC is the one South of the Ivory Coast) -- NOTE: the AFD entry which allows this GPS entry makes the ships appear in the normal 'Goto Airport' section, under 'for GPS only'; those entries will not jump you to the carriers -- use the entries in the 'Add on Scenery' section (see button in lower right corner).
-- night lighting
