Any British carrier for the Harrier ?

Unfortunately the CDG only works with 3wireX running because Abacus makes his carrier series for FS2004 and FSX (for FSXA there is Sylvain's freeware Clemenceau ;) ).

The Bonnie and Illu do not need 3wireX if used for VTOL operations. Of course the ships have to be set manually into the FSX world as they are only presented in missions. Thankfully there are freeware tools for doing this.
 
Finally, I have joined the UKMIL club and have downloaded the Ark Royal.
No luck so far, could not install it properly in order to use it with AI carriers...
I am pretty bad with those carriers configurations..
I have installed the Nimtiz and Clemenceau carriers properly but no chance with the Ark royal.
I know UKMIL will not provide any assistance nor support for users trying to use the Ark royal with AI carriers.
Anyways, I am now a proud member of UKMIL! :salute:
 
Not to detract from UKMIL's excellent Ark Royal, but Simon Swallow's Portsmouth highrise scenery for FSX also includes HMS Ark Royal V (Invincible class) with a carrier track sailing from Portsmouth to Southampton every 40 minutes or so.

If you also look at the Flying stations Forum under "Royal Navy Ships" you will find a topic on the three invincible class carriers that I am working on.

if you ask on our forums, there are peeps there who will help you get it working in AI carriers. I myself am no expert, but there are people who can help you

You say unfortunately. Is there any problem running 3wireX, does it effect others things?
 
There is also Falklands task force, using Simon Swallow's carriers over at AVSIM. File name:

I was wondering about that - but is that pack not a "scenery" (ie: static) rather than moving? I assumed so based on it being released for FS9. Not that with VTOL, it would be a big issue. Curious how this looks/works in FSX ....

Well, first there was the problem installing it (on W7 64), where it needs to make an entry into exe.xml but fails at it. I had to use Google to find the right entry to do it manually... it wasn't detailed in the manual nor on Abacus' site.
Also, you have to add manual entries to another xml file for each aircraft you want to use with 3wireX.
I do not know if the running program does in fact interfere with anything other, but since I had bad experiences with other programs and was keen on the two VTOL carriers anyway, I didn't care enough for the CDG to place it permanently into FSX as AI.
My understanding is that Ron Jeffers who designed the ships had to keep the backward compatibility for FS2004 for Abacus.

I wanted carrier groups with each one carrier for trapping and another for Helo/VTOL operations (and proper escort). So far I have three carrier groups steaming north of Australia:
Clemenceau (Sylvain) + Mistral (J P Baril)
Ark Royal (Flying Stations) + Illustrious (Ron)
Nimitz (Javier) + Bonnehome Richard (Ron)

So you see, no CDG and thus no 3WireX necessary.


PS: No bad feelings towards 3WireX, it's a wonderful tool. It's just that FSXA rendered it unnecessary.

PPS: Alberto, if you read this, I'd love to add a Spanish amphibious group to the Torres Strait :engel016:
