I recently installed FSX Steam Edition on my new Win 7 HD and everything is running OK. I have also installed AI Carriers .NET which is the modified version of Lamont Clark's original ship placement program using MS .NET Framework 4.0 vice Java. Everything I read before installing was positive so I expected it to run like Lamont's original program: Shift+J brings up a menu on your screen while flying, select a carrier or task group, place it 5 or 10 miles in front of you and voila, there it is. However it's totally "out to lunch" in my sim. Hit Shift+J and the menu may or may not come up, or it will come up a minute or more later. I can't page forward in the menu, or if it lets me I have to wait a long time for it to appear (maybe). If I make a ship selection it may or may not appear depending on whether or not the program decided to accept my selection. Considering the popularity of both FSX-SE and carrier aviation I assume some of you have been using this program to place carriers. Does it work OK for you? Or have you gone to TacPack or another utility for placing AI ships?
