It is possible to build a "flat carrier" object, which is just a sticker :lol: but it has to be a vehicle object (ship) in order to have cable component AND a deck.lod. I wonder if we add this object from terrain it keeps the component functionality...

Do I detect a SATS airfield in the making?...  I've had this idea for a while and it sounds awesome, if that's what you're going for.

Could be a useful mod for bases like Chu Lai (short field/runway ops) during base construction for Marine Air during WOV/SEA?

 

From Wikipedia:  

 

At first, only a "short airfield for tactical support (SATS)" was installed. The SATS consisted of a 1,200 m runway with an aluminum surface of interlocking lightweight metal alloy planking, a catapult and a carrier deck-type arresting gear. It also included a tactical airfield fuel dispensing system.

Arresting cables are standard on european NATO airfields as emergency landing stopping device.

The WP airfields used nets for this issue.
