How force carrier mission on IcelandNA (Single mission)?

[+Eagle114th]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how to force carrier mission on icelandNA. I have installed many of ships mods into SF2, each time I fly USN aircraft (F-14A '77 as an example), I always take off on an island instead of carrier.  how do I force single mission to always use carrier based aircraft to start on carrier?
 

The advice is appreciated.

Cheers!

You have to manually place the carrier  on the map  to do carrier missions. There is no way to force it.

That is noted.  Thank you for the advice.

UPDATE: I think I solved what I wanted to do. 

This is what I did:

I copied both IcelandNA folder and groundobjects folders from SF2:NA Expanded campaign mod and pasted them into my modded SF2 main directory.

NOTE: DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT overwrite icelandNA terrain with the new one.  Instead, erase the IcelandNA then paste the new IcelandNA from SF2:NA expanded.  The reasons?  I overwrote IcelandNA and got a very strange side effect.  WhenI loaded the single mission, i think I was in a very strange world.  the ships were all merged with each other and the camera were spinning fast everywhere.  I had to quit SF2.   Hence, wiping IcelandNA and replace new IcelandNA fixes this. 

However, now I am able to take off from carrier anytime.  And as for different carrier, I'll use mission editor to quickly replace the SF2 carrier with another one.  This is a success today.

that's really odd, because when flying for the US Navy , all I ever gotten is carrier based missions. And, yes all single, game generated missions. From the 1st day of installation

It is probably related to the mods I installed into IcelandNA terrain folder.  At least I wiped that terrain folder clean and installed the new version from SF2 NA expansion (campaign) mod.  It is my goal to experience the expanded terrains with the mods that adds a lot to all SF2 terrains.

I think the terrain main ini could have been missing the line NavalMap=TRUE at the first paragraph [Terrain] from the terrain main ini, mods could do stuff like that
