You can start FlightGear with the command line or GUI. To position your [[aircraft]] on the carrier at startup, use the following [[Command Line Parameters|command line options]]. Note the upper-case "N" in Nimitz and the fact that the scenario comes in front of carrier! You can copy-paste this (he slash will make it look like one line):

Note that several FlightGear aircraft are carrier capable, but the [[Hawker Seahawk|Seahawk]] is possibly the easiest to fly to begin with. You can start FlightGear with the command line or a GUI.
 
=== From commandline ===
To position your [[aircraft]] on the carrier at startup, use the following [[Command Line Parameters|command line options]]. Note the upper-case "N" in Nimitz and the fact that the scenario comes in front of carrier! You can copy-paste this (he slash will make it look like one line):

  fgfs  \
  --ai-scenario=nimitz_demo
  --ai-scenario=nimitz_demo
Line 16: Line 20:
  --aircraft=seahawk \
  --aircraft=seahawk \


The following start positions are available:
Please note the uppercase N in <tt>--carier=Nimitz</tt>.
 
  --parkpos=cat-1
  --parkpos=cat-2
  --parkpos=cat-3
  --parkpos=cat-4
  --parkpos=park-1
 
Note that several FG aircraft are carrier capable, but the [[Hawker Seahawk|Seahawk]] is possibly the easiest to fly to begin with.


If you are using the Windows or OSX launcher to run FG, you should find a text entry box in the gui that allows you to specify command line options, add the above options there. Linux or Cygwin users can just add them to their usual startup command; ``fgfs --carrier=Nimitz --aircraft=seahawk'. Please note the uppercase ``N' in ``Nimitz'.
The following (optional) start positions are available:
--parkpos=cat-1
--parkpos=cat-2
--parkpos=cat-3
--parkpos=cat-4
--parkpos=park-1


In the [[FlightGear Wizard]]: go to Advanced... > Properties and make a new property with
=== Mac OS X launcher ===
sim/ai/scenario[0]=nimitz_demo --carrier=Nimitz
If you are using the OSX launcher to run FlightGear, you should find a text entry box in the gui that allows you to specify command line options, add the above mentioned commands there.


With version 1.0.0 there comes a special box for the carriers on the Airport selection page of the Wizard.
=== Windows launcher ===
As of FlightGear 1.0.0 there comes a special box for the carriers on the airport selection page of the wizard. Type <tt>Nimitz</tt> in the carrier box and select <tt>nimitz_demo</tt> in the scenario list on the next page.
