Nope, it doesnt work. I've made a new object with the airfield bones that is added to the aircraftcarrier with a drone upgrade, but it just stays in its original spawning position. I even removed the IMMOBILE kindof, but the same problem occurs.
maybe make the carrier immobile and then construct the planes, after that you have to click a button to make it mobile again... its a temporary solution, though
When Gen2kedit site was still around, I also attempted to create an AircraftCarrier, but the problems I encountered was similar to yours. I believe i also posted it also here at dezire. I gave up on it coz I can't make the jets land properly. I also tried to made a drone but converted the models to raptor, but the results was not very satisfactory.
