Many carrier aircraft have somewhat contradictory definitions, or definitions of unclear value, as far as their carrying capacity. They may list only having 4 parking spots and a max number of aircraft or helicopters, in one sense, but then have coordinates set for over a dozen different parking spots on the deck. The blocks below distinguish between these two by calling them “nominal” and “defined” limits, where the nominal parking limit at most seems to correlate to how many different aircraft can be designated as “start on runway” in the mission editor.

Many carrier aircraft have somewhat contradictory definitions, or definitions of unclear value, as far as their carrying capacity. They may list only having 4 parking spots and a max number of aircraft or helicopters, in one sense, but then have coordinates set for over a dozen different parking spots on the deck. The blocks below distinguish between these two by calling them “nominal” and “defined” limits, where the nominal parking limit at most seems to correlate to how many different aircraft can be designated as “start on runway” in the mission editor.
