Best payware/freeware carrier compatible (i.e. functioning hook/cat) for FSX anyone? I can't stand the default F-18.
 
Does anyone know the list of files used to make the wake? I used to have the wake in the first version, but lost it with the second version. Thought I might be able to copy some of the files from version one if anyone knew what they were and maybe end up with a wake again. Thanks.
 
Ok, I went back and reread through all the posts, but didn't see my problem listed.

I installed the latest AICarrier, USS Nimitz files, etc..... I select one of the FLTs, and get ready to hit the Pause button. The aircraft shows up in midair, but no carrier...... I checked the Simobject/Boat folder...and the Nimitz is there. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Mr. "NavyChief,"

You'll still have to select a carrier from the ADDON Menu and Place it under "USER POSITION" to see it there; unless your using Mr. David's "DSWO" Carrier Tracks 1 & 2 which have the Carriers as AI under schudules, in which case, the .FLT Plans load the aircraft on the deck itself.

Good Luck! :salute:

Thanks for your reply, James. I am using Carrier Tracks 1 & 2, with the .FLT plans installed in the correct directory. The flights do show up when I select LOAD flight, but when I choose one, the carrier does not appear when the flight loads. I made sure the Boat traffic is set high enough, but still nothing.

Mr. "NavyChief,"

In that case, send Mr. David "Dswo" a PM with details of the Carrier Flight you are selecting from the LOAD Flight Menu... If you've upgraded to the USS Nimitz v2.0 package, there may be an issue, as the Carrier Tracks 1 & 2 were created using the USS Nimitz v1.0 package.

Also, the Carriers are in motion and vary their positions throughout a 24hr period so, that might also be an issue if you are using another time than it was setup for...

PS: You can always just select a Carrier from the Addon Menu until this is resolved.
Good Luck! :wavey:
 
Your very welcome; glad to be of Help to you, Mr. "Navy Chief" :salute:


=========================


Also, for those of you that might want/need this from the First Release of the USS Nimitz/Eisenhower ...




This will help you'll get the landings/Launches for many of you FSX Payware/Freeware models in ALL FSX Acceleration Carriers, AICarriers R2, Mr. Javier's Nimitz/Eisenhower Ver.'s 1 & 2, Mr. Sylvain Parouty's PA Clemenceau (R 98) v2 French Aircraft Carrier, Flying Stations' HMS Victorious R38 - Early WWII Carrier & HMS Ark Royal v.IV and the Carriers to come....

I've been using the new carriers since they came out, and the old tracks seem to work just fine. If you don't have them -- and you want some pre-programmed routes and flights -- search for carriertracks1and2.zip at the FlightSim.com or Avsim.com file library. With Thrawn's permission, I've also uploaded his Nimitz/Ike package to Avsim.

For troubleshooting the saved flights, here are some things to check. I'm casting a wide net here, hoping that my suggestions will benefit Navy Chief -- and anyone who comes along and reads this later. Use what applies to your situation.

1. Is the Nimitz/Ike package installed correctly (meaning, in the correct folders)? Can you place the carrier and see it with AICarriers? If so, then it's probably installed correctly.

2. Are my scenery (.bgl) files installed correctly? For example, if you put them in a new folder, did you add the folder to the scenery library? Are you using the standard folder structure for FS scenery? (I.e., a subfolder named scenery goes in the folder you have created/are using for this group, and the actual .bgl files go in the scenery subfolder.)

3. Are you, by chance, loading a saved flight for the Clemenceau? (These are noted in the readme.) If you are, that's ok! But if you load a Clem flight and you don't have the Clem installed, you won't see a carrier.

I believe so. The Nimitz is installed in the Boat directory. And yes, I can see it when using AICarriers.

2. Are my scenery (.bgl) files installed correctly? For example, if you put them in a new folder, did you add the folder to the scenery library? Are you using the standard folder structure for FS scenery? (I.e., a subfolder named scenery goes in the folder you have created/are using for this group, and the actual .bgl files go in the scenery subfolder.)

I installed the .bgl files in the Addon Scenery/Scenery directory

I installed the .FLT, .FSSAVE, and .WX files in the FSX Files in the My Document directory.

But when I select one of those flights, only the aircraft shows up. No ship.


Thanks, David, for your help. I am sure the answer is something simple, but I have not figured it out yet.

Chief, if you have the FSX SDK installed you can easily check
to see if the carrier is being generated by the traffic file in
the area you are in.

Open the Traffic Toolbox from the dropdown Tools menu
and select the Explorer window.

remove the checkmark from the Aircraft only box at the
top right of the window and then look down the list to see
if the carrier entry is present. See the attached screenshot.

I had the same problem as you when I first loaded a
flight today after installing the Carrier Tracks flights.
I had the traffic BGL in my East Coast NAS scenery folder
in my addon scenery folder.
I then moved the BGL to the scenery/world/scenery folder
and was able to start a flight and be on deck.
This was at Pensacola.

Thanks Gypsy. Going to check that now!

Another thing to check, Chief, is the possible presence of
a FS9 format traffic BGL file that hasn't been converted to
the FSX format.

For instance, the WOAI files are all FS9 format, as I recall.
I think the MAIW files are also FS9 format.

These need to be run through one of the file conversion utilities
to make them FSX formatted, otherwise their presence will
cause the FSX format traffic BGLs covering the same area/region
to be disregarded by FSX ( i.e. - no traffic generated for the FSX format BGL's )

Well already I see at least one problem. I have SDK installed, but Traffic Tools is not listed on the drop down menu.........

You probably do not have the required entry in the dll.xml file ( located in the
same directory as your fsx.cfg file )

Here is my dll.xml file:

Here is the salient part of that file ,related to the Traffic Toolbox ( NOTE - your path will be different than mine, most likely )

View attachment 22247

Just change the above code to match the path to YOUR traffictoolbox.dll and insert it into your dll.xml file.

Also, a NOTE on my first post...the reason I didn't see
a carrier when I had the traffic file in my East Cpoast NAS
folder was because I had forgotten to activate that folder.
In fact, traffic BGL's can be located in ANY activated 'scenery'
folder, located anywhere on your system.
I like to keep my organized by rough geographic areas
and have several different scenery.cfg files to enable
only the scenery files for a given geographic area that
I am currently flying in.


NOTE: I had to use zip files since the "CODE" tags did not preserve the
format of the xml statements when I used them to include the file text.

Hi. I have a problem with those carriers, as in I have done everything tne instruction sheet says but I have no clue how to actually see or handle those ships in the game. So I've copied all the files to where they are supposed to be and when I start AIcarriers2 a small blank window opens but I can't choose ships or anything, so what do I do now?
