olofohrstrom Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Heloo and thanks for the very good NF4+ Addon! Im having immense troubles with getting the carriers activated and useful. As soon as i try to assign squadrons to CVs in campaign_data.ini, they take off in middle of air and on planning map the waypoints tell me the base is outside the map somewhere in northern france. I´ve done some attempts to rectify this, including; 1. Removing the //´s in front of carrier units in campaigndata.ini 2. Fidgeted around with the coords in GermanyCE_targets.ini ( putting them in relation to known airbase locs from Germanytargets.ini, a bit out in the sea) 3. Checked and double checked that the "CVN68" and "LHA" really are in groundobjects folder. They still take off in the middle of the air somewhere in northern france. Even though on the planning map, the "flight" icon appears where the CV is supposed to be, the waypoints stems from that nasty place in France! Im clearly doing something wrong. Here are the exempts from : Campaigne4_data.ini: //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [CarrierUnit001] CarrierType=CVN68 CarrierNumber=68 UnitName=CVN-68 Nimitz ForceID=1 Nation=USN BaseArea=CVN68 NumSquadron=5 BaseSize=MEDIUM Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=100 [CarrierUnit002] CarrierType=LHA CarrierNumber=1 UnitName=LHA-1 Tarawa ForceID=1 Nation=USMC BaseArea=LHA NumSquadron=5 BaseSize=MEDIUM Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=100 [CarrierUnit003] CarrierType=Clem-65 CarrierNumber=98 UnitName=R98 Clemenceau ForceID=1 Nation=FrenchNavy BaseArea=Bordeaux Station NumSquadron=5 BaseSize=MEDIUM Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=100 and Germany_targets.ini: // Carrier Stations ----------------------------------- [TargetArea338] Name=CVN68 Position=219000.000000,857937.000000 Radius=5657 ActiveDate=10/19/1986 ActiveYear=0 Location=10 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE Target[001].Type=CVN-68 Target[001].Offset=0,0 [TargetArea339] Name=LHA Position=649000.000000,901874.000000 Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=13 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE Target[001].Type=LHA Target[001].Offset=0,0 [TargetArea340] Name=Bordeaux Station Position=219000.000000,609000.000000 Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=13 Alignment=FRIENDLY CarrierStation=TRUE Any ideas??

+JonathanRL Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 As far as I know, the edges of France are too close to the maps edge to be useful. The Carrier mods I have seen before have put the Carriers in the baltic (where they would been chewed to pieces by Soviet Air power). 1 Quote
olofohrstrom Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 As far as I know, the edges of France are too close to the maps edge to be useful. The Carrier mods I have seen before have put the Carriers in the baltic (where they would been chewed to pieces by Soviet Air power). TFR Its not me putting them there! Ive put in three carriers, one LHA in the baltic (söder om skåne!), and two outside wittmundshafen. There should be enuff room for them there. Its some problem with the CVs and their positioning that makes flights spawn from outside the lower left corner of the map. The Flight icon, however, is where the CV was intended to be. Olof Quote
+JonathanRL Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Can you link me the Aircrafts based on the Carriers? One of them should suffice, seeing how they should be identical. Edited November 23, 2011 by JonathanRL Quote
