Please make it optional. In my view it is difficult to come up with a more useless feature than micromanaging aircraft carrier flight decks. Think of it, different layouts in different ships and situations where centreline elevators are involved, the port/forward elevator on the Forrestals that cannot be used during landing operations etc... Making it realistic means making it complex and the added complexity adds nothing to the simulation.

One can intro some of the request(s) in a scene via Lua if desired (bolters, additional launch delays, aborted launches to sim cat failures), the deck mgmt stuff you can't really do but like others I question the value of that particular add, even though at times yeah I have wanted to be able to define what stays on the deck vs parked below deck, but it's often minor in the larger scale of things going on.
