Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 4, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted December 4, 2014 If you see no carrier when you load one of the situations it is most likely because you got ship traffic set to zero! Please note that the carriers are only usable in FSX Acceleration, Gold and P3D, the 'standard FSX +SP2 does not contain these options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle 180 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 And if the above doesn't work: For 2 of the roughly 20 people who flew the F-14 before release, the carriers did not show up with the appropriate traffic settings. Both times it was because of the AI Air traffic. This is important, so please read carefully. FSX (appears) to prioritize aerial AI traffic above shipping traffic. If there are too many available AI Air Traffic routes, then the sim doesn't generate the ships. Now here is the important part. The limiting factor is how many AI routes are installed in the simulation, not the number of active routes (e.g. moving the Air traffic sliders to "0" will not fix the problem). Instead, you need have to temporarily uninstall a portion of the AI traffic. In both cases, users were using WoAI, and here was the solution: 1) Create a folder on your desktop called "WoAI Back-up" 2) Go to the following directory: [FSX Main Directory]/Scenery/World/Scenery 3) Look for traffic files labeled "Traffic_WoAI_[Airliners}". 4) Copy and paste all of them into the newly created "WoAI Back-up" directory 5) Once backed-up, delete the files from [FSX Main Directory]/Scenery/World/Scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorik 6 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just found another possible cause to this problem. When you have the option "sync fs time to system time" (don't know the exact writing) turned on in FSUIPC it causes the flight to load in sync with system time. This results in your plane showing up on another location then the carrier. I hope this is helpful to some people. Kind regards, Jorik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaspern83 1 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi, I have done all of the above and unfortunetly I am still not seeing the carrier load =/ ship traffic 100%, all of WoAI files moved out of the scenery/world/scenery folder and copied to the desktop. When I load fsx I still do not see the carrier but the f14 is floating in the air. I also have the sunc fs clock in fsuipc disabled.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Aerosoft Share Posted December 9, 2014 ?? how to ? There are tools that manipulate the time in FSX and those can cause problems. Just as changing time of day/date in FSX can. Also we have seen this issue with Slew mode as well. Basically the position of the ship is time depended and the position of the aircraft is not. So they have to stay in sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaspern83 1 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 @Kaspern... Are you playing with the hour? Regards No, I have disabled clock sync in fsuipc, restarted fsx but no carrier. I dont mess with any other settings. Carrier does show up if I load via tacpak though. i get the acceleration carrier as well as the kitty hawk.

hjcurtis 7 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Having the same problem. I have ship traffic turned up to 100% - still no joy. I have removed my WOAI traffic files - still no joy. I removed a load of other traffic files - still no joy. I also have UT2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjcurtis 7 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Upgraded to version 1.10 tonight. Loving the new colour schemes but still no carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle 180 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Here is something specific to try: 1) Copy your entire "Flight Simulator X/Scenery/World/Scenery" directory to your desktop. You should now have two directories: Desktop and Installed 2) Delete the contents of the Installed directory 3) Copy and paste the files listed in the image below from the Desktop directory into the Installed directory The Installed directory is now equivalent to a clean install of FSX Gold/Acceleration + the CV-63 traffic files 4) Start Flight Simulator X and you should be able to see the USS Kitty Hawk 5) You can now start copying more files from the Desktop directory into the Installed directory At some point the CV-63 will no longer appear. When this happens is dependent on how many routes are placed in the Installed directory. A single BGL can hold multiple route entries, so we can't give a target file count.

dogrokket 0 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I had a bunch of WoI traffic files. I moved them to a temp folder and now the carrier shows up. I didn't change anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutz 0 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hello all I don't know if some of you have found the solution already. For me worked the following: under the menu of the FSX " miscellaneous" (do not know I have it in German) do NOT tick system time for free flight In the FSUIPC also do NOT tick the two boxes "keep FS clock sync'd" AND "use system time for flight" Having done this, the Carrier was where it should be. Cheers Mutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris512 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've tried everything in this thread but I still don't see a Carrier. If I zoom right out in Top Down View I think I can see it but it's miles away from where my F14 is placed. This is using the flight situation that's included with the F14 install. Has anyone managed to solve this problem yet? I'm on Prepar3d 2.4. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris512 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 OK, so if I open up the Japan Scenario my F14 appears hovering above the sea. I can zoom out in Top Down View and see the Kitty Hawk off to the right... If I go into Time and Season and add an hour to my sim time the carrier appears in the right place with my F14 on it... Saving the scenario as a new one at this point doesn't help either. When I load up that new saved scenario, my F14 spawns in the sea with the Kitty Hawk sailing happily by to the right! So there is something happening with my sIm time but I'm at a total loss as to a solution... I'd rather not have to buy Tacpack just so I can reliably appear on a Carrier.

Henning Porsby 0 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 If you follow the recepi on page # 14 ,- the problem is solved,- it also fixes problems with TARCAN and F14 menu. verry fun plane the Tomcat and the carrier Happy landings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg 1 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I just have bought the Tomcat and I am also missing the Kitty Hawk. I tried all of the recommendations in this Topic, without success. I also run Ultimate Traffic 2. Is there a solution, beside the once given in this thread ? I also followed especially Topic #14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle 180 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm not familiar with UT2 specifically, but it's possible they have dumped the AI flights in another directory and would probably have the same effect. Maybe look at your scenery library and try disabling any UT2 entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin48 1 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Post #2 worked beautifully for me. No more Tomcats floating in space above the sea. Thanks jcagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RON46 0 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 After all the fantastic products of aerosoft I have installed the F-14X right now. There was no problem with the carrier for me. I was sure that the carrier is en route somewhere like the standard carrier in FSX Acceleration is from port to port. Inside the pdf manual Vol. 7 Carrier Operations page 15 I found the information that someone had to load the flights which are saved within the option Free Flight. So there I found a lot of F-14 start/situations in ready or cold & dark mode and at different locations. Plus two approach situations at location Hawaii. Like all aerosoft airplanes another fantastic bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
