It is also possible to select MP carrier players from the command line using the following --prop: argument (change nimitz to the carrier actually in use - e.g. the vinson)
It is also possible to select MP carrier players from the command line using the following --prop: argument (change nimitz to the carrier actually in use)
  % fgfs --ai-scenario=nimitz_demo --prop:/sim/mp-carriers/nimitz-callsign=<callsign of the player commanding mp-nimitz>  --multiplay=.....
  % fgfs --ai-scenario=nimitz_demo --prop:/sim/mp-carriers/nimitz-callsign=<callsign of the player commanding mp-nimitz>  --multiplay=.....

For the Vinson it could e.g. be:
% fgfs --ai-scenario=vinson_demo --prop:/sim/mp-carriers/vinson-callsign=MP-029X  --multiplay=.....


The MP carrier will not be active unless you specify the callsign of the player on MP running Nimitz with the MP carrier dialog or
If you are using the qt-launcher, you just need to add the --prop... stuff to Settings. Then you set your multiplayer settings as usual and in the AI dialog in the running FlightGear you make sure that nimitz-demo and vinson-demo are active. There is no need that the callsign reflects the TACAN setting - it is just a possible pattern do make it easier for others to use.
--prop:/sim/mp-carriers/nimitz-callsign=<callsign of the mp-nimitz player>
This ensures that MPCarriers won't interfer with the normal nimitz_demo scenario unless you explicitly ask for that.


Please also note that '''''<big>the AI scenario corresponding to the carrier you want to see must also be active!</big>''''' Many pilots forget this at setup.

And remember, have fun :) .


As a pilot you have to run by the books:
* Have the MPCarrier downloaded (the fact that you see the carrier when running AI scenarios is not enough proof that you actually have the MPCarrier. Try to find it in the aircraft dialog. If it is there, then you are good).
* You need to set the --prop:/... stuff. This ensures that MPCarriers won't interfer with the normal nimitz-demo/vinson-demo... scenarios.
* You need to have the corresponding AI scenario activated.
* In the AI scenarios you can find the carrier from 30+ nm with TACAN. In MP you might find it only from ca. 15+nm (as of 2020.1 version).
