Do you mean where you can pilot a aircraft carrier?

As far as I know, there are no movable aircraft carriers for FS2004. There is the static default one outside of San Fransisco bay, and a number of addon sceneries representing carriers and their support groups, but I do not know of one that moves while retaining its landable scenery properties.

There are a number of aircraft carriers available at fs-shipyards.org

Each is described and indicates if it is for FSX or FS2004 and if it is landable, pilotable or static.

I suspect the same information would be included at any site which has aircraft carriers available for download.  Just read the file descriptions very carefully before downloading.

Wow ShaunTK - thanks for that tip.  I've just landed a Jet Provost on it & stopped 3ft from the end deck :-)   Must get something with a hook in case the carrier has arresters!  What a ride!!    :o

i could be wrong, but a few months back i believe i saw a "pilotable aircraft carrier with hardend deck that can be landed on by others in multiplayer for FS2004" over at FS-Shipyards.   I have went there several times trying to look for it but i can not seem to find it anymore.

if you had a friend that you like to fly with, and BOTH of you would download it, and then you take turns driving the ship letting the other person land on you (i dont know how that would actually work due to crash detection..... but still.....) then you might be able to have a landable carrier that is moving.




"THE ALL TIME BEST FREEWARE CARRIER" that I have found to date, would have the be the one in the F14tomcatwaikatocarrier.zip  (found at http://www.surclaro.com/download.php?op ... arrier.zip )


It is NOT moving, Non-pilotable (cant drive it) ... but it does have lots of AI taking off and landing on it.  Sorry Abacus, your Flight Deck 5 carrier doesnt look as good as this one..... - just my opinion.
