Have a problem with the addon?

Please, first read the FAQ if you have a problem. If the solution for your problem isn't there you can leave a comment or send a bug report to [email protected].

First flight checklist

1. Make sure the Top Gun update is installed.

2. Download the addon and extract the .zip to your community folder.

3. Under Assistance Options > POI, turn off Landmark Markers.

4. Under Control Options, bind the controls:

Toggle Launch Bar Switch (For the catapult)
Change Aircraft (For spawning at the carrier)
Set Nose Wheel Steering To Limit (To unlock steering on the carrier deck)

5. Below, read about all the functions of the carrier.

Starting a flight

1. On the world map, click on the search bar below the selected aircraft, and search for 'Carrier'.

2. You will see a list of the locations. Select one and click Set as Departure.

3. You'll spawn in near the carrier. Now you can descend and lineup to land at the carrier or teleport to the carrier deck (see: Start from carrier (experimental)).

4. To easily find the carrier, use Smart Camera.

Functions

Landing Signal Officer (LSO)

When approaching the carrier, an LSO will give instructions for a safe approach to the carrier. For more information, you can look at the carrier landing challenge in the Top Gun pack.

Arresting cables

The F/A 18E Super Hornet has a hook to catch cables on the deck of the carrier. When caught, the plane will be decelerated and brought to a stop very quickly. To extend the hook, push down the right lever in the cockpit, or bind 'Toggle Tail Hook Handle' in your control settings (standard is CTRL + H). When the plane has come to a stop on the carrier, the cable will detach itself. You can now retract the hook again.

Taxiing on deck

With the F/A 18E Super Hornet, you may have to unlock nosewheel steering after landing. bind 'Set Nose Wheel Steering To Limit' in your control settings or press the appropriate button on the left of the center stick.

Catapult

The catapult can be activated anywhere, but for maximum realism, taxi to one of the active catapults, align the aircraft, and come to a stop at the beginning of the catapult.

1. To activate the catapult, bind a control to 'Toggle Launch Bar Switch' and press it (don't use the switch in the cockpit). You can deactivate the catapult at any point by pressing the 'Toggle Launch Bar Switch' binding again.

2. Now set the parking brake. This will simulate the holdback bar that holds the aircraft in place before launch.

3. Perform pre-flight checks (flight controls free, flaps, nosewheel steering).

4. Increase the throttle to MIL or afterburner.

5. To launch, release the parking brake. The plane will now be accelerated to 150 knots.

Start from carrier (experimental)

You can't spawn directly on a moving carrier (yet), so you'll have to use a workaround. First, start a flight close to the carrier. Then bind a control to 'Change Aircraft' and press it. Now the plane should teleport to the carrier deck. If it doesn't work correctly the first time, press it again. Now you will be parked at the deck of the carrier. Follow the checklists to start the aircraft.

I have your moving carriers activated in MS Linker, but when I do a search for "carrier" all I am seeing is ACAI ACAM etc. When I deactivate Superspud's carriers, I see no carrier options at all. Any ideas?

Don't use the airport search but use the search bar below the selected aircraft (in the world map)

No, this mod uses a lot of assets created by Asobo so it probably wouldn't be allowed

First off, great mod. I love it and have been having a lot of fun with it. However, I'm not able to taxi and takeoff. I'm able to change aircraft and get on the deck but every time I'm on the deck, and attempt to taxi, my jet respawns. Whether I slightly throttle up to taxi or even just hit the brakes, my jet respawns. I thought I found a way around this by pausing the game and moving towards the back of the deck. But after starting to taxi, I passed the cables on the deck, and it respawned again. Any idea what's causing this? Thank you and again, great mod.

Jayshrike 6 day(s) ago

You may be triggering the 'Change Aircraft' accidentally. Try checking the bindings in the control settings. You can search by input, and press the button you're using.

In the next update (probably this week) we will add a toolbar panel where you can control functions of the addon, such as teleporting and catapult operations.

Hey guys ! 😀

Doesnt this mod work anymore with F-14 TOMCAT? 😞

Cause I've just came back to the game after a break, was about to shoot some videos for a movie I'm workin' on but seems like F-14 does not work anymore with these carriers.

Only f-18 works now?

I thought that was fixed, but that's the aircraft mod, not this mod that is the cause.

We have a hater, for something outside of the mods control. This is a YOU problem and nothing to do with the mod at all.

Go and learn the aircraft you are flying first, and then try the mod and i'm sure, very quickly, you'll backtrack on your false comments. <3

Enjoying the carriers. Thanks for your work. Is it possible to catch the wires in the Milviz Corsair with the tailhook extended, or is it just my bad flying?

No, I don't think that plane has the tailhook physics supported yet

Thank you very much for this work, it is really interesting to see that enthusiasts like you are constantly improving MSFS.

With these mobile carriers we are one step closer to "realism", I use a helicopter to move between the carrier and the escorts on which we can land, it's just great...

When you spawn in the carrier and you press pause the jet starts to slide and fall off the carrier even when the menu is pause

Jayshrike 19 day(s) ago

Svara

Yes, unfortunately the carrier keeps moving when you pause normally. To stop the carrier, use Devmode to pause the simulation.

Can we use the F14 Tomcat and the T45 To land/takeoff on this carrier? Or its only for the FA18?

Jayshrike 19 day(s) ago

Svara

I think you can use the arresting cables with the DC Designs F-14 and the IndiaFoxtEcho F-35, but I'm not sure about the IndiaFoxtEcho T-45.

You can use any plane to land (without cables), taxi, and take off with the catapult.

Jayshrike 23 day(s) ago

The compatibility with the cable landing has to be implemented by the developers of the plane, then it should work with this addon, as well as other moving carrier addons.

Hello Jayshrike,

You done great job. For Carrier near Long Island I found flying other boats. It is funny to underflight boat. Maybe it is due to wrong positioning. (screenshot in user gallery) I think it is very funny bug

Jayshrike 23 day(s) ago

Svara

Haha, yeah we'll fix it in the next update. If you go back to the main menu and start a flight, the boats should be correct again

This does not seem to include the ball UI element used in the carrier landing. I wonder if it is possible to add? In real life you have a better view than we have in the sim, and my eyes are not great to begin with so it would really help me out.

Jayshrike 28 day(s) ago

Svara

Yes, we are looking if we can recreate it in our addon. We want to make a toolbar that has this, and allows the user to control the settings for the carrier

Vingilot 28 day(s) ago

Svara

That is very good to hear! I think I will hold of on getting the addon till that point, like I said my eyesight is pretty bad. I can nail the challenge every time at this point, my highscore is 193.something. So I can do it, but without the ball it will be very frustrating for me to do. But you will definitely make me very happy the moment this becomes available. Oh and maybe it would be good to add it to the roadmap? I am sure I am not the only one wondering!

Also a suggestion, maybe you can create different packs with the carrier in different locations? I would like one around Europe for one 😊 But seriously amazing work! Keep it up, and I look forward to having the ball in more ways than one!

Given that this is an addon that would give us a moving carrier, I have interest in this addon. I'm wondering, is there a way to have a mod where the 'AS' lettering on the island (and possibly on the bow of the flight deck) would be replaced with the number 71? In other words, is there a way to change the carrier from the 'Asobo Aircraft Carrier (CVN-AS)' to the 'U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71)'? This would be to add some realism and the Roosevelt would be an example.

Jayshrike 28 day(s) ago

Svara

The numbers are embedded in the model, so you'd have to make your own carrier (can't edit the existing one). For now we'll use the standard carrier from the top gun update.

This is great! Many thanks for all your hard work!

A significant improvement would be having the carrier sail a course (as now) until a trigger event (e.g. a button press in the aircraft, and/or the aircraft is within a threshold proximity) which causes the carrier (and other vessels) go to "Hands to Flying Stations) and turn almost into wind, such that the wind is "down the angle" (i.e. the wind is blowing parallel to the angled deck, to minimise the relative speed of the aircraft over the deck on approach). The opposite trigger would then be used to make the carrier and other vessels resume their previous course.

Great aircraft carriers. but for me I have one small problem. every time I press x (yes i use an Xbox controller I don't have a Hotas) i get teleported to the nearest carrier or the New York carrier. this is very annoying when i press x because I have it bind to something. I'm going to re bind it, but it does that with more planes too. I landed at JFK in my 777 and pressed x and it teleported me to the carrier. If I'm not seeing something that can fix it please tell me thanks.

Jayshrike 29 day(s) ago

You have to look at the 'Change Aircraft' in the control settings

❗ Investigating

Uppskattad 28 Jul 2022 » During launch, the launchbar should stay down. And when the plane is off the deck, it should automatically retract. Improve the teleport to carrier

❗ Investigating

Uppskattad 28 Jul 2022 » Right now the teleport bounces the plane, which can cause it to crash

Vanliga frågor

Frågor? Hitta din lösning här.

Why did you choose these locations?

The locations have different surroundings and environments, that will give a very different experience, especially with live weather.

Due to a bug/limitation in the physics for the arresting cables, the carrier only works well in proximity to san diego, the location of the original landing challenge.

The carrier disappeared after a while

Due to limitations in the scenery system, the carrier has a limited range of about 30nm, which comes to a lifespan of ~1.5 hours. After this, the carrier will reset to its original position

The carrier moves while paused

The carrier keeps moving when you pause the game normally. You need to pause the simulation with devmode to stop the carrier.

The escort ships are floating

If you reload your flight (for instance after a crash) the boats will sometimes hover a few meters above the sea. Prevent this by going back to the main menu instead of clicking restart. This will get fixed in the next update.

I can't find the carriers on the world map

If you can't find them on the world map, you can enter the coordinates and start a flight from there.
