1. Enable Modern Arrestors: Though UK Carriers do not have arrestor cables, we have enabled the Modern Arrestors function to enable the use of other aircraft that would not normally operate on STOVL Carriers. Modern Arrestors enable arrestor cable functionality to any aircraft, regardless of whether the aircraft has a tailhook or not.

   1. To enable modern arrestors, click the button in the Approach tab on approach. The arrestors will engage upon contact with the flight deck. Modern arrestors remain active until manually deactivated.

   2. Modern arrestors can be toggled "always on" on the settings tab. The "enable modern arrestors" button on the Landing page will disappear if "Modern arrestors always on" is enabled on the settings tab.

2. Elevators: Moves selected elevator up/down. UK Carriers feature a total of two elevators.

3. Quick Taxi: With Quick Taxi, you can easily reposition the plane with the joystick. Move the stick up or down to move forward or backward. Move the stick left or right to rotate left or right. Particularly useful when moving inside the Hangar, when pushback is required, or with VTOL aircraft, such as the Osprey and Harrier.

4. Align to Wind: Only available on moving carriers. Aligns the carrier with the current wind direction. Doesn't work with multiplayer auto-sync. Align to Wind should be used when the aircraft is not on deck or in the hangar. If the aircraft happens to be on the deck or hangar, it's best to immediately teleport - otherwise the aircraft will fall in the water.

5. Multiplayer Auto-sync: Only available on moving carriers. Syncs the position of your local carrier with the multiplayer server. Required for multiplayer flight on moving carriers, as otherwise the location would be different across different players. More information on Multiplayer Operations

6. Teleport (Experimental): Teleports aircraft to selected location - Runway, Parking, Hangar or Approach. Sets the state of the aircraft according to selected Teleport. Experimental feature. For more information, Teleporting (Experimental Feature)
