Maybe some guy from India made the 'INS Vikramaditya'...
But otherwise the only option is the 'Kuz' from Alphasim.
And Su-34s dont go on carriers... it isnt a Su-32FN...

Small tip, just because the Su-34 (the one you are using), F-15, F-5, F-117 and F-16 have tailhooks, doesn't mean that they are carrier capable.

The F-117 doesn't have a tailhook...the f-117n does and it is carrier capablel...

Actually, it does have a tailhook (not visible while retracted) and the F-117N was only a concept.

Tailhooks on the Su-34, F-16, F-15, F-22, and other planes are merely for emergency situations where they lay cables across the runway to help the plane slow down. Other wise, they are never used. Even if you were to try a carrier landing in one, the tailhook isn't nearly strong enough to stop the plane.

Such as the cables at NAS Patuxent River (although, carrier aircraft do train on those too).
