FSX Ark Royal

HMS Ark Royal brings moving AI carrier scenery to FSX, running a believable east–west racetrack just south of Gibraltar. The updated model supports authentic carrier operations with a working bow catapult and arrestor wires, and requires FSX Acceleration to enable launch and recovery functionality for naval aviation sorties.

Ark Royal FS9 model updated to moving AI scenery for FSX. With FSX Acceleration also features working catapults and arrestor wires for carrier ops.

To install execute the included exe and point it at your FSX directory.

To uninstall remove the Ark Royal folder from the Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Boats directory and the trafficArkRoyal.bgl file from Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery\World\Scenery. I haven't learnt how to make uninstall routines yet.

Default install places carrier south of Gibralter on an East West orientated racetrack pattern. Note it will occasionally stop in the water at the end of it's route before turning around and resuming it's nav track.
