^ I'll go and take a look at that
Re carrier ops I just found this up in my mancave. For FS2002, I haven't ever tried it out. I too spent a lot of time (and money) gathering up add-ons for the early sims; it was a time when the thrift shops were full of them as people began to download everything and got rid of their discs
I have a different take on the visual stuff, as you might expect. I love to look out the window and see as near to the real thing as possible - unless it's in a combat sim like CFS3, when you're too busy to admire the view. That's why my favourite is still IL-2, where those beautiful evening skies and densely forested landscapes can be had without a hit on performance
