Placing Aircraft on a Carrier Help

[walt262]

Could someone explain how I can place a player aircraft where I want it on the deck of a carrier along with the 3 other AI aircraft. I want to be able to move my aircraft into takeoff position myself and the same for the AI aircraft. Every time I place my player aircraft on the deck in cold state it is placed on the right side bow position and the 2 AI is placed on the left side bow position. The other 2 AI aircraft are placed on top of my player aircraft.

You can't. You can only set it to parking or runway and DCS's engine takes care of placement and positioning.  The best you could do would be to have the AI aircraft set to spawn before the player jumps in and on the cats and then the player takes the free one. 

You cannot place aircraft anywhere else on the deck unless they are static.

I'm unable to place player SU-33 aircraft on the (2017) Admiral Admiral Kuznetsov. I place a SU-33 player on the deck from ramp and every time I go to fly I'm in the air. Is there some kind of bug? I also place a Russian AWACS and some USA F-14's but I get no radio report or data link and have my radio comms set to all aircraft.

If you do not own the Supercarrier module, then you cannot use the Kutznetsov 2017.

Yeah, the supercarrier module fix it. Now, I wonder why the AI aircraft likes to taxi through the static aircraft I place on the deck?

From supercarrier manual :"It is important not to place static objects in locations they may interfere with flight operations so test your mission thoroughly to find any problems."

You can find on this page pictures of all carrier types with all slots and taxiways used by AI :
