    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

catapult launched US Navy seaplane??

A friend of mine (a military historian) asked me if it would be possible to create an FSX scenario where a prop driven floatplane could be launched from a battleship. I know that the default FSX Hornets can catapult launch from a carrier but I don't know how to do this from a battleship. I could create a short airstrip I guess at the proper altitude but I don't know how to get the extra power from the catapult. Also this would be stationary and it couldn't go to sea and be launched underway.

Is this crazy? Any thoughts on how to achieve this?

Thanks,
Obie

PS I tried to install AIcarriers.NET today but I goofed up my FSX-SE install.
 
Battleship Seaplane

I know it's possible in CFS2 (with mods) but no idea about FSX, sorry.

This was available for download in FS9 for both the SOC and the Kingfisher. You can still find them on AVSIM and/or Simviation. I always loved the SOC Seagull and had these downloads when I flew FS9. I have no clue if they can port over or not, why not give it a try? Also try the FS Ships site for the BB's.
 
Maybe with the RFN Gauge creating catapult zones on a battle ship and using the RFN Goto functionnality to place the plane. I suppose you have to add ground landing points in the aircraft.cfg.
