SkippyBing · Dec 8, 2009

I don't have Microsoft Word installed anymore on my PC, so I cannot view the readme. Is this carrier in a certain location, or can it be placed anywhere like the Nimitz addon?

Ahh, I must start doing read mes in HTML!! There are two routes, or you can use AI Carriers to place it anywhere.

From the Read Me:

Victorious passes South of Gibraltar around Midnight Monday, an included saved flight places the default Cessna on the flight deck early on Tuesday morning with the ship heading East towards Malta.<o

></o

>
The second route has Victorious leaving Scapa Flow at 1200 Monday heading towards Iceland. She departs from a Fjord North of Reykjavik at 1000 Wednesday for the return journey. The round trip is repeated again later in the week leaving Scapa Flow at 0200 Friday morning, arriving Iceland 1530 on Saturday before departing again at 1800 to arrive off Scotland at 0930 on Monday.<o

Saved flights are again included, one off the North Coast of Scotland outbound to Iceland and the other departing Hvalfjord for the return journey.

GBrutus, the Swordfish is a WiP building on the mesh Mathias gave me earlier in the year. Hopefully out soonish if I can figure out what some of the randomly placed levers in the cockpit do!

In the AICarrier .cfg add a new line like so

[formation.12]
title=HMS Victorious
unit.0=VEH_Victorious, 0, 0

Of course the number depends on the next one on your sequence

Then in the SimObject boats create a new folder called VEH_Victorious, and copy all the textures from the original Victorious in to this.

Once you have done that change the .cfg in the new folder to this

[fltsim.0]
title=VEH_Victorious
model=
texture=
[General]
category=Boat
[contact_points]
static_pitch=0.0 //degrees, pitch when at rest on the ground (+=Up, -=Dn)
static_cg_height=0.0 //feet, altitude of CG when at rest on the ground
[DesignSpecs]
max_speed_mph = 50
acceleration_constants = 0.5, 0.4 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max acceleration (Gs)
deceleration_constants = 0.3, 0.3 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max acceleration (Gs)
SternPosition = 90
[Effects]
wake = fx_wake_xl

SkippyBing · Dec 8, 2009

Noddy,

I think you can just change

unit.0=VEH_Victorious, 0, 0

to

unit.0=Victorious_1940

without any adverse affects and then you don't have to copy the folder.

JamesChams · Dec 8, 2009

Gents,

All that is way too much, unecessary, work... :kilroy:

Just extract and copy this file (attached) to your "...\AICarriers\conf.d\" Folder and enjoy! :salute:'

PS: Under the AICarriers Menu it is listed as HMS Victorious – Early War (1940)

noddy · Dec 8, 2009

Oh bother, oh well.

Yes, much simpler to create and install than you'd think... :bump:

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

Mr. Rich Ruscoe,

Please feel free to include this AICArriers file in your installation and am grateful for a WWII Carrier to use all my "OLD Girls" with; looking forward to your future versions. :wavey:

PS: Does the Baracade raise/lower with a function key, like the FSX's Tailhook's (if the gauge is installed into the aircraft ONLY)?

EDIT: I found out that it does... Thank you; it looks great but, you still need either need to catch the wires or step hard on the brakes as the Baracade doesn't seen to hault your forward motion in any way. Still a great feature, if only as "eye candy," but none the less useful in telling (visually) whether or not you've deployed your tailhook on "Birds" that DON'T come equiped with them.

Henry · Dec 8, 2009

thank you gentlemen
H :guinness:

SkippyBing · Dec 8, 2009

Alas no, I spent about a week trying to get that to happen but I couldn't' find a way to attach a platform to a moving object, the other problem would be if you hit the barrier you'd crash and reset the flight which to be honest wasn't my preferred option either.

Dexdoggy · Dec 8, 2009

Awesome work, she is a beauty!

SkippyBing · Dec 8, 2009

Mike, and anyone else who doesn't have Word, the read me is now viewable on the download page which should make life easier!

Peter, have you tried taxiing around that area of the flight deck to see if you can replicate the crash? Oh and what aircraft are you getting it in?
It's not something that happened to me during testing but I may have missed it!

Yeah its when I tried to take the first wire using the Real Flight Hellcat, got an object collision, it happens even if I try just flying low over them with the hook down trying for another wire, this has me baffled!

Thank you Mr JamesChams for the AICarriers config, much appreciated!

SkippyBing · Dec 8, 2009

Peter,

I'll try and check it out tomorrow, I've managed the same myself without any snags, video below hopefully. Apologies for the lack of audio, WMG being ****s.

Rich · Dec 8, 2009

Hi All, Peter there is no object collision problem I have done god knows how many landings and cat launches off Victorious with no problems, where you have a problem it is with the Hellcat going hard noseover when it catches the wire have a look here I posted new settings for the hook

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=26936

The thanks should go to Skippy Bing and Sketchy not me I am just the messenger

Rich · Dec 9, 2009

Try it with another aircraft even a jet and see what happens one thing is not to touch down behind the hanger lift as the deck slopes down from there and it will launch you skyward like a ski ramp.

Fantastic, thanks very much ...

I have taxied up and down the deck a dozen times from stem to stern and had no object collisions with crash detection on and off is FSX reporting a building crash or is that your interpretation of your crashes.

Check with a trike gear jet or somesuch to see if you have the same results.

Is anyone else getting the same crashes

peter12213 · Dec 9, 2009

Well ive tried it in several other aircraft, like the maam avenger, the A2A corsair with no problems it worked great but its just the real flight hell cat that I'm getting this problem with, its not nosing over or anything like that its just as soon as the hook touches the wire it causes an object collision, must be something to do with that particular aircraft and not the carrier!

Rich · Dec 9, 2009

Certainly not the ship, I have landed on without the problem you describe did you look at this thread and try the hook fix which also gives cat launch ?? on page 2 I posted 2 files one to add cat launch to the Corsair and one to fix the tailhook nose over and add cat launch.

How do you know it is a building/object crash and not nose over ??

The Hellcat works fine for me and I know Skippy uses it too
