How Do I Build on the Supercarrier Deck Template?

[Rex]

How do you build on the included Supercarrier Deck Template?  I don't seem to be able to edit this mission.

@Rex You need to copy the miz file SUPER CARRIER HORNET 16 POPULATION TEMPLATE from the the Mod/aircraft/FA18C/missions/single folder in the root folder to your own missions folder in your Saved Games. Then you can edit it. 

Id strongly advise against going bonkers with additional F18 Lot20s and F14s as they are a little costly performance wise and can cause a noticable stutter as you appraoch the threshold on landing. 

There are a few great mods that add addiional deck items such as towbars, extingushers and chocks that are worth looking at to , though placing chocks is an art in itself  Id say RATO65's and Cowcoys HH60 mods are also almost essential to rid yourself of the absolutely awful helo statics.

REDKITES deck templates are also very worthwhile and although Ive never had the patiience to use them in combination with the other mods as its just too tricky to X/Y co-ord some of the smaller items, provide a great way to configure the decks for lauch and recovery that can ve swapped with triggers in a mission.  

Check out some of @fagulha's SC posts for insirpation. Hes a master at creating artful and authentic feeling deck arrangments.

Finally be warned about using SC carrier templates with a D server arrangment - AI doesnt always play nice and some mods simply dont appear.
