You will have to experiment with the speed and other settings to get the flavour you require .

Your wind direction is wrong Alpha
Wind with a direction of 180 means its blowing from south to north. Its always where the wind is coming from. So a direction of 180 degrees means if you release a balloon, it will float north. Easy trick to remember. If its confusing, just always make your carriers heading, and the wind direction the same!

Therefore to fly into the wind, your carrier needs to be heading 180. The wind will blow over the deck, simulating more forward speed for the aircraft. Also, make sure you carrier is going fast. Remember in mission builder, speed is in km/hr. Ship speed is in knots. you want to be going around 25 - 30 knots. This is around 40 - 50 km/hr.
