The new format allows higher resolution pics. The lack of detail is the old small pics stretched to fit a large available size. All new uploads have very detailed pics, and as the upload owners add new larger pics, those will be better. This is a self correcting temporary inconvenience.
I don't think the default carrier has such a feature (BTW there are more than one carriers - google the phrase -FSX carrier locations' this will give you info on their locations...
I also don't think the carriers that are provide via the TacPack have the function either....
There are a number of freeware carrier addons that add additional carriers (and that TacPack can use) - one of the better ones is AICarriers, a google search should find it but it available here in the library at flightsim (note you may find multiple versions of this app the best to get is the .net version (IIRC the file name for it here at flightsim is AICarrier.net)...
There are also some payware stuff out there but whether they offer such functions as moving lifts I don't know....
I have been a subscriber of this site for a long time and was very happy with the "old" format. I am NOT a fan of this new format as it lacks the detail the old format had, especially in seeing pictures of the aircraft selected for downloads, these new pictures lack detail. Search a query also is not satisfactory. I'm not sure I'll continue when my subscription comes up for renewal.
I'm not on my flight sim computer at the moment, but I'm quite sure that under OPTIONS/HOTAS, there is a selection named SENSITIVITY at the top of that left panel. If you haven't already done so, you may want to toy around with the Z Axis settings. May not be your problem but I've improved several issues doing such.
