landing and taking off ona carrier.

With the absence of a mirror or any other aid to landing, I find the best way to do it is set the wind speed to 100 and direction aligned with the carrier. That way your landing speed is around 50kt. In a real situation, the blunt end of the carrier is moving up and down with the waves, so you have to compensate if you don't want to fly into the hangar or miss your approach completely. The sim is not realistic at all.

There's a file over at Avsim called the Aircraft Carrier Operation Package.

This freeware archive contains a set of gauges, effects and sounds which you can add to existing military aircraft in FS2004, and enables you to perform takeoff and approach/landing on aircraft carriers. It features:
(1): A catapult gauge, enabling a catapult-launch takeoff.
(2): An arrester gauge, enabling a cable trap landing.
(3): A "meatball" HUD gauge, enabling accurate ILS approaches.
(4): A SonicBoom effect and controller gauge.
All gauges/effects with appropriate sounds.

Includes extensive installation/usage documentation, with examples for several very popular aircraft. By Rob Barendregt and Doug Dawson, with special input from Nick Needham.

Hope that helped.

You can't directly link to files on avsim.
To access their files, you must be logged in. But making a account is pretty simple.
