NB: You need to know which callsign and which carrier model to use. | |||
[[File: | Make sure to enable the AI scenario for the corresponding carrier (e.g. nimitz_demo if the model is the Nimitz). | ||
The easiest way to configure your FlightGear session for an MP carrier is to use the Launcher like in the picture (the model is the Vinson and the callsign is OPFOR21 in the example). [[File:MP carrier settings in launcher.png|thumb|In the "Settings" tab under "Additional Settings" provide the necessary command-line arguments]] | |||
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) | --- | ||
It is also possible to select MP carrier players from the command line using the following --prop: argument (change "nimitz" in 2 places 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=..... | ||

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. | |||

An alternative way to enable MP control of a carrier when on the multiplayer network use the MP carrier dialog available from Multiplayer->"MPCarrier selection" to select which MP carrier players you wish to see. | |||
