Apologies in advance for what is probably a silly question posed by a complete DCS beginner. Having successfully installed the T-45 and congratulated myself on the achievement, I decided to see what happens if you start a flight on the carrier deck. Using Instant Action , I selected one of the many options that seem to suggest a carrier start: T-45 Deck COLD 106 with CVN-72. Instead of appearing on deck, I found myself airborne somewhere in the vicinity of the carrier. Same thing happens with the other options I’ve tried. So I guess there are three possible explanations: user error, invalid expectations or I’m just being punished for using the free version of DCS without buying any addons. But which?
