Could someone please give me a tutorial on carriers ops in Fs2004. I do not know how to activate a catapult or use the "meatball" for landings. Also, is it possible to use elevators?
There isn't a tutorial, you'll need to download the Carrier Operation Gauge http://www.simviation.com/fsgauges_8.htm and then follow the instructions. Or if you're feeling a little rich then purchase Flight Deck 4 from Abacus
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
