I downloaded a set of US aircraft carriers off the coast of Thailand.  I am sure the rest of you discovered these.  Here are some shots doing some approaches in the F/A-18E.

Start up.



Taxi out for launch.



Clean up the aircraft.



Turning final for approach.



WAVE  OFF!

Great shots there codered Makes me want to run off and do some carrier ops right now!!!

same here! didn't know about this add on carriers. do they have a working steam catapult? and working arrestor cables? i'm tired landing on normal runways...

oh, does anybody know if there's a download available to install arrestor cables on a normal runway, just to practice a bit...?  ;)

Ken there is a program available here that does the same thing as ArrCab I can't remember its name but its listed as some sort of carrier landing gauges or something. I'll go have a browse now....

Sorry Ken it seems I made a mistake, we haven't got the original file for some reason. Some panels have it.
The file is called rcbco-11 and is by Rob Barendregt and Doug Dawson.
I know its over at no-nodes, and probably at Avsim as well.

Carrier ops are fine if you have the option of landing in the Hangar Deck.........the only one I know of where you can do that in 2002 is the Abe Lincoln which sits to the west of San Deigo ........        

Looks like you had too much fun! :-)

There is no catapult or cables....  I guess there are addons to represent that, I just haven't looked yet.  I had to cheat a bit to get the plane in the air.  I took the shot, and tried to do a short field take off, but I ended up in the drink.  So my next time off the deck I taxied all the way to the stern and took off from there.  I was able to land fine, but I had to come in real slow and had to do some serious braking action.  Still a load of fun, and different than the 10,000 ft runways.

Is there a carrier addon in Hawaii?

Or does anybody know how to move around carriers?
