1.    Place the carrier on the map.   Place the aircraft on the carrier.   You may need to experiment a bit to discover exactly where the carrier is:  as you probably know the icons on the map in the Mission Editor are not always accurate.   Alternatively, use a setPos getPos command.  Syntax not guaranteed.

plane1 setPos [(getPos carrier 1 select 0) + 5, getPos carrier 1 select 1, 12]


2.  loon1 moveInCargo lorry1

Or if the vehicle is part of the loon's group just select "in cargo" from the Special field.

Complete with arrestor wires and catapult.  

Dunno where though ... try the Falklands mod, I think it's based on the old Hermes.

And the Everon Cartel have a working submarine.

Not bad for an infantry warfare sim.  ::)

the falkland aircraft carrier isnt very good. get hawk's carrier. its incredible! it has working anti aircraft defenses and its solid as a rock. it also has a working catapult and hook catch lines just like the real things. I think its called the USS Nimitz or something

for the Nimitz you need to use a value of 19 in the setpos init that Macguba gave to get planes on the deck

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1,19]
