Working with boats and ships in FSX

Postby Sprocket » Mon Jan 11, 2016 8:13 am

..
Recently there have been some excellent postings on Simviation of boats, aircraft carriers and such, getting me somewhat interested.
( In particular the aircraft carrier posting by GlobalHobo.)

But I haven't got a clue on :

1.. How to, or where to, install downloaded ships into the sim.
2.. How to "launch" a ship into the sea,
3.. and generally, how to work with ships in FSX.

Any help anybody?

1 After extraction, install in Sim Objects "Boats"

2 To launch in the ocean, either find a seaplane base, or find an airport near the ocean and use the "slew" mode to move the ship into the water.

3 Enjoy.

ai carriers2 http://simviation.com/1/download-file?f ... ileId=4937 install in game use shift + J to display popup menu over water. Its very easy to add other ships and carriers as they usually come with the entries for the aicarrier cfg.
Also ai ship packages by Henrik Nielsen see below
