Carrier Ops in DCS?

Yesterday I was watching youtube videos, and one in particular featured carrier ops in DCS. I didn't even know that is possible?

What was most interesting to me was a camera view showing a trap where the arresting cable that the aircraft's tailhook caught - actually moved. NOT something possible, to my knowledge, in either FSX or P3D.

I am trying to find information on how carrier ops are accessed in DCS. Any help here? Thanks, NC
 
I believe that in DCs you would need to download the Flaming Clffs add on which has the flanker variants including naval and carriers etc.

DCS A-10C had all the objects but no fly able carrier aircraft.

I particularly enjoy aerial refuelling in DCS, it is very challenging but pretty realistic looking.

hope that helps.

Thanks Centuryseries. I had accidentally started a similar thread, and I received some good information in replies. Thank you! NC

It does in IL2 as well. Indeed, if you want good carrier flying you could do a lot worse than give it a try.

I believe a US and a Russian carrier will become available this year, both as modules. The F/A-18C also is scheduled for release this year.
 
I have DCS World 2 with Nevada and Flaming Cliffs 3, there's already a nice CVN-77 George H.W. Bush Hornet & Tomcat mod for DCS World, thing is I have no idea how to install it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

I haven't installed any mods either, but I think you need to use a program called JSGME (JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler). Well that is one way anyway, and most modders seem to suggest it.

If you just search the internet for "install mods in to DCS World" then many results for posts from DCS forums and more will appear.

Here is the first result, but there are many more:

BTW check http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...craft-needed?p=1016445&viewfull=1#post1016445

for more links to mods, and also check through the DCS World forums for many mods.

Cheers,
