Hey everyone, I just downloaded the aicarriers2.zip, installed it, and everything installed properly (installed in its own folder in Program Files (x86)).

I was prompted on the FSX splash screen to run the program, which I did. When I started free flight, I checked my Addons tab in the taskbar like the readme says, and all that was there were FSUIPC and the Addon Manager, neither having anything on the aicarriers2 software.

I fear I may be missing something, and the support e-mail address in the readme is not a working e-mail. I'd really like to use this software, so any help would be much appreciated!

Reference- I have FSX Gold Edition, and Windows 7

That sucks, but I'm not surprised. Do you or anyone else know any software I could use to place carriers that will work with my system?

Ok, all I want to do is to move a default carrier somewhere, so does anyone know of any other software to help do this or a forum or website that describes how to do it?

Nice, give me about a half hour I'll update java, and if that doesn't work I'll try the exe while its on the FSX menu. Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes

Ok then, I think I know what is happening here.
AICarrier works ok, as you could see with that little window.
You were not getting the AICarrier item in the addon menu in FSX certainely because FSX failed to find the correct location of the executable file. So in the end, your FSX is not able to automatically launch AICarrier.exe, and you have to launch it manually.

But hopefully this problem can be resolved. What you should do is going into the folder that contains the FSX.cfg file. In that same folder, you should find a file nammed EXE.xml. This xml file contains a list of modules that should be launched automatically when FSX starts. Could you copy paste its content here ? I suspect that the lines that are supposed to launch AICarriers are using an incorrect filepath.

I need help also. I installed it just like the instructions said. I made sure the path was correct, made sure I have java jre 6.8. I start ai carriers and it says it's connected to MS Flight Simulator X. But I still can't find the menu in either titlebar.

My path is okay. I get the message that AIcarriers is connected to flight sim, but there is no menu in the titlebar for missions or load in free flight.

Hi, make sure you have downloaded the correct version of jre as there are two windows versions, one for 32 and 1 for 64 bit.

Look in your program files and programs files(86) for a java folder, if you have downloaded the one in program files and not the other, aicarriers will not work.

This is my exe.xml

- <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>EXE.XML</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
- <Launch.Addon>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
  <Name>AICarriers</Name>
  <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
  <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
  </Launch.Addon>
  </SimBase.Document>
This is the path for my java

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6

only deinstall accell should work , repair doesn't always work 

Hi I just started having problems with the workaround for windows 7. after i enable the work around it started working and did so until a month ago does anyone know how to correct this.

Thanks ahead of time

where is the XML file locate because I can seem to find it

Okay I found it and I double checked it against the example for the correct layout and there is nothing wrong with it. however when I still try to run it , it gives me the permission denied message

I've been hacing trouble with AI carriers 2. i've downloaded the Java software u needed then i tried free flight over the sea in my FSX Acceleration F-18 then i pressed Shift-J which was the button that was pressed on a youtube video on how to make the carrier appear.. nothing happened. I then manually ran AI carrier 2 as administrator then retried the free flight. Still nothing . I downloaded AI Carriers for the FSX Nimitz carriers i downloaded on FS shipyards. Can anyone help me out?

Kind Regards

P.S. I have windows Vista, 3WireX and acceleration.

works fine now thanks.

am error can't do 

after you have placed the carriers/fleet, you access the menu again to get it moving, also on the first menu before you place the fleet, look at the later pages, you can select carrier with crowded deck.

The lift? I think you just park yourself on it, fold your wings first if needed.

Sorry Pat, just remembered something, you need to addon the ike_nimitz extra bit for the aicarrier2 to get the crowded deck

This is the one you need:
http://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=uss_nimitz_ike_version2.zip&fileId=35...

Or to view it first, search for Nimitz, on the 1st page you'll find the 'FSX Acceleration USS Nimitz Carrier Package Version 2'

There is a video on youtube of Dino's T45C, the video shows the kind of view you'll get with a crowded deck.
I find the T45 easier to land on the carrier than lets say the f18 or f14.
