Best summary was by Captain Kurt sime time ago - so useful I copied it into a txt file & continue to refer to it years later ...

Here you go...

Thanks, - that sorts out 47 and 48 at least!

DPED121 shows 11 as Aux Fuel tank


I will try out 49 as a "Port Cheek Gun" and see if it works, - it seems logical that it might be, and possibly 53, 59, 60 might work ok as guns. - I'll post here if they seem to work or not.

I noticed that the (stock) ships don't follow any of the aircraft systems numbering, and just use negative numbers so i'm going to do some testing to confirm if I can knock out individual guns/systems on ships. Also it would be nice to see if a ship can be given an "engine", (or rudder) system and if destroying this might slow it down. Might make for some additional factors in missions where slowing a ship down (Bismark?) becomes the mission objective rather than sinking it.

About the only way your going to get the ships drive able with engine and ability to steer is by making the game think it's a airplane. It doesn't have to fly but it has to be able to taxi. They might pose a challenge in mission builder also as they are airplanes not ships. That's my two cents worth but of course if somebody knows something I don't here why we would all benefit by telling it.

I wasn't really thinking of making the ships driveable for the player, more interested in seeing if they recognised systems when they take damage. For example an AI aircraft will slow down as it gets damage to systems that affect speed. So far though, I've tried defining a large box as an engine system (large easy to hit box with low damage points) on a barge, and it doesn't seem to affect the speed at all as the "engine" gets destroyed. So far, I think the only CFS2 systems that seem to be recognised (and lose performance as they receive damage) on ships/vehicles/infrastructure are the guns.

I see. Yeah aircraft and ships are different. In the aircraft your dp file works in conjunction with the air file system as it’s not a standalone file that tells everything. Nothing really to make a ship slow down other then sinking it. It’s really not controlled by the AI either other than the guns as none will advance or retreat change course but rather follow a pre designed course given it by the mission otherwise it’s just a bunch of anti aircraft gunners shooting from a fixed position on a tiny island just big enough to get on.
