How to make Aircraft Loiter

I just tried several way to land the planes, but even when it works, the plane will take off again shortly after

So, finally, I used a more simple way to simulate the RTB =>
when it's time to RTB, I used a "suicide attack" on the carrier, and, at 2 miles from him, a remove this platform instruction =>

So with both test mission, you could built something close to a real carrier operation :

you could make your planes taking off from the carrier at the time you want, making them doing patrols exactly where you want and for the time you want, and let them come back to the carrier when you want.

This simulate quite good a real carrier activity.
So, if you want to make a biiiig scenario, during lots of time, you just have to create all futures patrol areas for each plane, with appropriate launch time (see 1st scenario example) and recovery time (see 2nd scenario example), then you will have a quite realistic carrier operations.

Is that what you wanted ?
