Hi Paul,
I'm afraid I cannot add the items you ask for as they stand. The code only
works with the existing Nimitz_demo.xml. If any other carrier demo is used,
this carrier will be placed in the default Nimitz location by the use of
this dialog. A dialog must be generally applicable, not apply to just one
situation, and must most definitely not break anything.
The idea is sound, and I encourage you to work the code up into something
that works properly.
Regards,
Vivian

Hi All,
For now please add the two items I asked for.
I'll work on a new and improved stand alone carrier menu.
It might take some time. I'm learning as I go.
Best Regards,

Yes, you are right,
for instance, I did include some delay (with a nasal script) , mainly to get
a nice animation within my Air Navy Aircrafts, unfortunately up today it
is only a private use ( you cannot get profit of it since these models can
fly only with a specific carrier patched JSBsim FDM, ...... old sad
history ).
However, the keys are necessary, to activate these features
