I found the 27 CV63 objects and extracted them to the SFG (patched to 2008) OBJECTS folder. SUCCESS.
I don't have a DESERT Carrier Campaign, so if I put the Carrier in the Desert Terrain, I wondered how I could find it.
However, I do have a Korea Carrier Campaign (allegedly) so I decide to follow the instructions using Korea instead of Desert.
The Korea Data ini already has a CarrierUnit001, so I changed it to be a CV-63 carrier as per instructions. However, I left the base station as TaskForce 77, because he already has that in Korea.
There were several PLAYER UNITS in that file, supposedly carrier based, and I picked an F9F-5 Panther AirUnit which was already at BaseArea=TaskForce 77, and made sure CarrierNumber was 63.
I then opened Korea_Nations.ini and under [Theatre], after the other two entries, I added Location003=TaskForce 77
I then went to Korea targets ini, where there was already an entry for TaskForce 77, and I changed its location to 3
So, if in Korea Data, I have a Carrier CV-63 at Base Station=TaskForce77; a Panther Air unit assigned to BaseArea=TaskForce 77, Carrier 63; a notation in Korea Nations that Location003=TaskForce 77;
and an entry in Korea Targets ini that says TaskForce 77 is at location 3; then I surely have all my ducks in a row.
Unfortunately, when I go into the Korea Campaign, choose Navy, and try any of the F9F-5 squadrons, I do not see a Carrier.
I am wondering if the weak link is the 27 CV63 files that should be somewhere other than in OBJECTS.
Should they for instance be in a folder marked CV-63, in GroundObjects, or somewhere else.
If it's not impertiment to ask, where do you keep yours?
Thanks for helping me
