Yes, it's done using 3Wire. Works quite well too.

At the sort of speeds I land, It'd need to be a hurricane force head wind and a carrier the size of Battlestar Galactica ;)

When I was in my prime at CFS2 I could land the stock P38 on the carrier no problems. Never tried a B25 though, some heavy breaking would no doubt be required....

Evening Kris,

The carrier is part of the new Sea Hurricane package (seahurri.zip at avsim)
you'll also find 3Wire there too (3wire_1.0.zip)

Happy flying,

Carl

I'm not sure how to find the carrier per se, but if you go into Select A Flight, there should be 2 flights under "Sea Hurricane"

Cheers Kris,

Carl

You can only find the carrier from the select a flight menu, can't select it as a start airfield in create a flight. Doin't know if it you can find it by starting at the airfield near Scapa Flow however.
Thanks for the comments chaps :)
