If you find your self on our server mission "DangerDogz All Planes 0700v2" and take an F14 or F18 off the Carrier and find the landing area fully populated with static eye candy, you can remove it by going into the Comms menu and selecting "Carrier Commands"
In there you can set the deck for take-off or for landing, or clear the deck completely, its new wizardry I have mastered with DML.
It makes the Carrier look like a working ship.
I thought I had better post these notes as Fenrir joined late last night and did not come to comes right away and was stuck not being able to take off as the deck was set for landing.
