When you want help, don't flood the topic feed with 12 topics concerning the same question. This is called spamming, and nobody is going to help a spammer. :o I'd suggest you delete your other topic(s), and then maybe someone will help you.(Yes, I will help you once you delete the other topic.) :wink:

Ok. I'll offer my help in that regard.

First, to activate the Vinson scenario, on Mac, go to the "Others" Tab on the Flightgear launcher.

Now, in the Box labeled "Command-line options",

Type this in:
Code: Select all
--ai-scenario=vinson_demo


Start Flightgear, and the USS Carl Vinson scenario will be activated.(You must leave that code in the command line box for the scenario to stay active.)

There ya go. :)

That sounds like a problem with the continuity of the MP network itself, not something under your control. It's similar to the lag you see in MP that makes other planes stop and go, except the hiccup clears the mpcarrier checkbox so the ship is invisible when it returns. It happened to me several times today. You can try connecting to a different mpserver, but I doubt it'll make much difference.
