Planes spawning in the wrong CV

[madvad]

Hello guys!

So, there was a campaign in my old files, which I don't know who created it or more details.
I only know that it refers to Operation Allied Force, but whenever I tried to start it, the game crashed.

I decided to try to find the error, and I managed through a few edits to get it to work, however, no matter what I do, the Italian Navy and French Navy aircraft refuse to spawn on their respective carriers, and instead, always spawn on that damn frigate.

Does anyone have a tip or maybe can see something I haven't seen to try to get it working on their respective carriers?:

The same problem. My AV-8S Matador persistently appears on the deck at Essex instead Dedalo Air Carries. Only if i put it by my hands personaly at Dedalo  he agrees to take off from the deck (TADAAAAM!) vertically. But after missian when i land on the deck verticaly and clean landing zone my wingmans run through the deck full the way on high speed and bubble down into the deep sea. I solved this with hook adding on aircraft but how to solve apearing on right aircarier i dont know. Moreover! If i add a Escort pack from Spanish carrier Principe de Asturias  nearby, no one Matador appears even if i add them by hands. They unexpectedly appears from nowhere at a target zone. What i deed. I added new nation SpanishNavy and change it in Matador ini files and in Spanish aircariers files.  i add it NATIONS.ini. but... they still appear at Essex..... I've been struggling with this problem for the third day with absolutely no success. HELP! HEEEELP !!!! HEEELP US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waving wit hands, screaming and fireing a campfire to pay attention to myself, standing alone on an island with a palm tree along with this problem. i spread the word Help from pebbles. my ideas are over.

Uffffffff!!!!!!!!!! Partialy the problem is solved! My Escort pack is correct ploaced.  and on the deck. and taking of. But if i generate mission (not placing aircrafts personaly) they apears at Essex anyway. But i am GREATFUL A LOT to you. thanks. so the same problem as  madvad has still actual

[bazillius]

MMMmmm... i think i v got it.... madvad, you need to add more ships your nations. I added another ships of Spain Baleares class Frigateб Churruca class destroyer and Lepanto Class DD  to the game and the game got possibility to complete ship battlegroup. If you do not have enough ships of your nation the game forme ship battlegroup of US warships and place your aircraft on US carrier. I see this now in my case, and you need careful check sintaxis. So as our native language is not English it is easy to do a mistake. 

[bazillius]

madvad,  and when you are adding new ship to your game check it out the nation string. Every moder write as he do it in his own mod folder and nation list. i see French ships with strings NationName=France (Aconit Class Frigate Aconit Class Frigate) and another ship with NationName=FrenchNavy (E-50 Class Escort Rapide) for example. so it needs to do it to the same sintax version i think as your aircraft. so need to recheck every ship. this is my opinion was our problem was in it.

I will check the ships.
I find some incompability like the AV-8B allowed only in MEDIUM carriers, and the Italian Carrier are set to SMALL.
I put all in the same level, need to test your suggestion.
Gracias!

MISSION ACOMPLISHED!

I had to create a naval group for each nation, because from what I understood, it is not possible to have several aircraft carriers in just one.
So, I created one for each nation that wanted to fly, with their respective ships of the same flag, and this worked:

If anyone wants to try out the campaign, I'm attaching it here for testing.
I just fixed the bug that didn't let it work, and edited it using the correct aircraft used in the real operation (since they are available in the SF2 world).
I don't know who the original creator was, but if anyone knows, please include it here.
