Geary Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Does anyone have coordinates to place a small USN fleet around the carriers at Yankee and Dixie Stations on the VietnamSEA terrain? The carriers in campaigns look very lonely out there by themselves. Quote
alexis99 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Interesting idea. Thought on it myself. However, the carrier moves, (usually doing hard to port when I'm coming in to land). I didn't think the fleet ships moved. Figured the carrier would crash into them. Co-ordinates for the Carrier are in the Campaign files. I moved mine to make the flight to the coast a little shorter. If you make a single mission though, you can have the carrier with some escort ships, because I believe the carrier does not move in a single mission. Quote
Geary Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 alexis99, I have some coordinates I got from a few single missions. I'm just not sure where I would put them; terrain targets.ini; campaign data.ini... I haven't had time to try anything yet. Hope to get time soon. Until then, the carriers are on their own in campaigns. Quote
alexis99 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Like I say, I'm not sure the ships wouldn't bump into each other. But if you look at the below aide memoire it shows how everything connects in a campaign for Navy pilots. So I assume you would add ships as if they were carriers. You could give them new carrier stations as in stage #1. But that would probably mean they wouldn't show, because I believe only 1 carrier can be active in a campaign. You could try adding as in stage #2, and that's where I think they'll go bumping into each other STR/WOV/WOE ADDING CARRIERS TO CAMPAIGNS: (Based on a WOV campaign) 1. LOCATE CARRIER STATION: TERRAIN FOLDER - TARGETS INI 2. ATTACH CARRIER TO STATION: CAMPAIGN - DATA INI 3. ATTACH AIRCRAFT TO CARRIER: CAMPAIGN - DATA INI 4. ATTACH AIRCRAFT TO SQUADRON: CAMPAIGN INI #1. LOCATE CARRIER STATION: TERRAIN FOLDER - TARGETS INI [TargetArea085] Name=Dixie Station (Matches Base Area in #2, and Base Area in #3) Position=774000.00,352000.00 (Can be altered. Use Mission Editor to determine coordinates) #2. ATTACH CARRIER TO STATION: CAMPAIGN - DATA INI [CarrierUnit008] CarrierType=CVN-65 (Folder name in OBJECTS - GROUND OBJECTS) CarrierNumber=65 (Matches Carrier Number in #3) BaseArea=Dixie Station (Matches Target Area Name in #1, and Base Area in #3) #3. ATTACH AIRCRAFT TO CARRIER: CAMPAIGN - DATA INI [AirUnit011] AircraftType=A-6A (Any USN aircraft) Squadron=VA-192 (Can be called anything, but should match first part of Unit name in #4) BaseArea=Dixie Station (Matches Target Area Name in #1, and Base Area in #2) CarrierBased=TRUE (Make sure it says this) CarrierNumber=65 (Matches Carrier Number in #2) #4. ATTACH AIRCRAFT TO SQUADRON: CAMPAIGN INI [USNUnit005] UnitName=VA-192 Golden Dragons (Can be called anything, but should match squadron in #3) UnitID=11 (Matches [AirUnit011] in #3) StartDate=03/30/1972 (Make sure all elements have same date overlaps) AircraftType=A-6A (This will then show in Create Campaign page) Quote
