I attach the latest version  of Nimitz. The textures have been improved. A glide-path has been added, it is on by default, but can be switched off by means of the properties browser: /ai/models/ship/controls/glide-path. The origin has been adjusted to the turning pivot and approximate roll center.

Modified AiShip files are also attached. These allow the radius of the turning circle of a ship to be input. The turning circle is adjusted for speed and rudder angle. Roll has been corrected so that a ship leans out of a turn, not inwards like an aircraft. The roll angle is adjusted for speed and rudder angle (yes, application of more rudder reduces roll angle - rudders act as stabilizers).

TODO

Add a relative wind calculation so that a carrier can be turned to the appropriate launch and recovery courses.

Add a 'flight plan' so that the carrier can carry out a racetrack for flight ops.

Add a projector landing sight.

Add auto-land facilities.
