The module was written in such a way that any aircraft - stock or add-on - can use the catapults and arrestor cables without any modification to the aircraft itself. The carriers work very well in multiplayer.\n\nThe carrier module includes two components included in a simple self-installer:\n\nScenery - five static, detailed Nimitz Class aircraft carriers positioned around the world\n\nSoftware - HDS Carrier Module to enable catapult and arrestor cable functionality\n\nThis add-on does not include any aircraft, however it works with any stock or add-on aircraft you already have.\n\nThe addon is simple to use. Once installed you simply run the HDS Carrier Module software in the background while you fly.\n\nCatapult launch - ***CRASHES MUST BE DISABLED***\n\nThe add-on detects when you are lined up for a catapult launch. Your launch speed is automatically calculated based on the physics of your aircraft, meaning the module works with every aircraft from a Cessna to fighter jets to 747s. To launch the aircraft, you simply set the parking brake, set full thrust, and release the parking brake to be launched off the deck.\n\nArrestor cable landing\n\nDue to the current limitations of the SDK provided by Microsoft, tailhooks are not yet supported in the sim. HDS Carrier Module currently assumes your tailhook is extended at all times (we will update this as the SDK improves). To trigger an arrestor cable landing, simply line up with the runway, and land within the arrestor cables. HDS physics simulates the arrestor cable physics to bring the aircraft to a stop.\n\nAircraft carriers\n\nAircraft carriers have been positioned in various locations around the globe. Over time more locations may be added as we continue to update the add-on:\n\nKey west - ICAO: CAR1\n\nSan Fransisco (270 at 5 miles) - ICAO: CAR2\n\nNew York - ICAO: CAR3\n\nGibraltar - ICAO: CAR4 Dubai - ICAO: CARR\n\nCurrent limitations due to the MSFS SDK\n\nWe hope to add these features as the SDK from Microsoft matures over time:\n\nCarriers must be placed as static scenery and cannot be dynamically spawned by the user\n\nCarriers are static and do not move. This is a limitation of the capabilities of placing AI objects in the current SDK. This is highest on our list of new features.\n\nAnimations - jet blast doors and cables cannot be dynamically animated yet\n\nTailhooks are not currently implemented. To work around this, it is assumed your tailhook is always down.\n\nIt is currently impossible to add runway lights to the carrier. This will be updated once the SDK is more mature.", "summary": "This carrier module is the first aircraft carrier with functioning catapults and arrestor cables made for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
