Carrier Operations II

[+paulopanz 2,853]

Nice Tu-16 project!

 

 

Thank You. Tu-16/H-6 are needed to sink the carriers!

 

The SF-2NA Ark Royal with all needed hints for carrier operations is waiting for approval.

 

Soon she will have some Daring DD for escort (upgraded by Kevin and me)

 

 

I hope one day she will have a plenty of Leander, Rothesay and Whitby FR based on fantastic model by SUICIDAL .

 

He has a wonderful Amazon and Broadsword FRs to fix, too.

 

My wishes are for a fantastic british fleet.

 

BTW the HMS Bristol is quite ready, too.

 

For County and Type-42 I'm waiting Hinch for solving some issues, but they work fine in SF-2NA.

Sounds good, this game is just begging for a Bucaneer campaign

Sometimes ago I talked with Jon about a RN carrier with her escort trapped in baltic for exercises when the war began .... a very unlucky situation.

I have several ideas for Carriers + Baltic. I want to get Midvintermörker out first; then wait for patch, THEN Update TSF Packages to SF2: NA standards.

 

When that is done; I will prob want to play around with the toys we already got and I bet the brittish have a place there :)

Baltikas' British Isles map could have a update

[+PureBlue 71]

I was thinking how we could add lights to these ships. Tried a few things:

 

A SystemName entry and Light section just like in an Aircraft, does not work.

LightSet sections copied from airfields don't work. (Lights for airfields doesn't work in SF2NA at all, but that's another story..)

 

How about adding lighted (?) 3d models, using a technique similar to fakepilot or weapons/guns ?

Anybody try that at all?

That's what I'm working on m8

Fixed virtual aircraft on a virtual cat, with no launch time, allows you to have working nav and deck lights on ships in scripted missions.

been working on the little Italian Job C551 Giuseppe Garibaldi got the missiles-n-guns working but cant figure out why it always loads A-4's or American AV-8A harriers and not the AV-8Bplus that I have set to load on carriers how can you set it to just a certain plane? and almost to the front of the island the deck drops off the RL deck is 175.5 so I bumped the numbers to 200.0 that didnt help

Do you have any carrier_based=true italian aircraft in your install ?

I'm assuming you have the carrier set as Italian.

[+JSF_Aggie 1,291]

Colmack,

 

Read through the description txt for my LHA mod...

 

http://combatace.com/files/file/12751-lha-mod-for-stock-sf2na-version/

 

Do the CarrierParkSpan trick, and make sure your NATIONS match, that's as close as you can get as far as specifying a specific aircraft, at least best I can figure out.

 

I'm surprised you saw a USMC aircraft on a Italian carrier, unless the carrier is set to USMC, or your running with a .MSN file that has a battle group called out as USMC.

[colmack 659]

Hows this? I figured out the airwing issue I think.... thanks to Mr Aggie and Mr Blue, just a few minor adjustments here and there and she will be ready to leave the med n head up to the fighting in the north or just stick around n keep NATO's southern flank guarded... Id be nice to do an repaint on florian's SH3 to give a rotorwing aircraft on deck to with them beautiful folded rotors.

I like it!

 

To limit this kind of ships for VTOL usage you can play on ParkingMaxSpan parameter setting this very low like ParkingMaxSpan=2.50

 

 

As only AV-8 has a lower CarrierParkSpan parameter set on lower value like CarrierParkSpan=2.00 You will have only AV-8 on the deck.

Yep set it to CarrierParkSpan=2.00 n made a dedicated AV-8 for the Italian navy so that issue is done I think. I don't know what to do about the deck dropping off though Id like to be able to park aircraft infront of the island too but they just fall into the water. better hit up MR BobRock n see if its okay to post her. plus i need to test her cruise_missile defense them guns are claimed to be pretty hard core on cruise missiles...

the AV-8B(plus) has an Italian skin already. Might need soem other updating; i've seen pics with what looks like AMRAAMS under the wings..

 

nice to see the Garabaldi being updated! will look good on the libya terrain (with the 2011 update!)

[Svetlin 478]

Hello Wrench, nice Italian skin.

Has it ever been released?

[+Spillone104 553]

Yep, the italian AV-8B have been updated some years agoin the early 2000 to carry the AIM-120 missiles plus the capability to launch guided air to surface missiles like the AGM-65, AGM-88 and some source says the Marte Mk-2. Plus they can carry the JDAM, Paveway and Litening pod.

[Wrench 9,425]

I belive (but don't actually remember!!!...) that it came with the original download. The skins date's closely match the LOD date, so I'd guess yes .. it comes with it

[Svetlin 478]

Wrench, thanks for that!

I found it in the SF1 package. It was left out from the SF2 package.

Thanks again!
