ACFT CARRIER PRACTICE

[buick0731]

I have just recently came back from Japan from one of the Naval Airbases and they had a little set up on the land based runway to look like an Aircraft Carrier, for Practice I guess.  I was hoping to find something like that for FS2004.  Practicing on a carrier is awesome, but I myself just began to fly carriers, thought it would be cool to get a little more realism and Practice on the land based "Aircraft Carrier".  Is there such a scene that i can D/L?

one of the Arrestor Cables packages added cables to one of the runways at Patuxant River (sp?)  US navy base. I cant remember which is was, or even if it was FS9 or not, but its a starting  point for you to search for.

Is ArrCab still available? I thought it was withdrawn when it was included with Flight Deck III.

im not sure, I havnt actually used it in ages, i just remember having it at one point  ???

I was flying the other night in PAX River (Patuxent River), it does add cables, but I couldn't see them.  I was looking too for the "christmas tree" effect too and the Markings.  Maybe there's a way to add the effects? and markings to the runway?

Thank You for replying.  I was flying the EA-6B in PAX River, but was kinda surprised...lol..to hear it trapped when i taxied down the runway...lol.

Once again im not 100% on this, but there is an add-on for panels that simulates the cat, and cables, its included in the DSB Goshawk panel, but i think it works off some freeware kit, i might be able to have a look for the files tomorrow.. on other computer... if you want.

I would appreciate that.  Do i have to d/l the Goshawk?

[igorski]

no, the goshawk was payware, and i believe no longer available, but if im right, the panel mod will be available somewhere, and can be added to any panel.

ohh, ok, i appreciate the help
