Position: AC on Carrier deck ?

[demorier]

I have seen it somewhere before but I am looking for this little utility/tutorial thing that places the aeroplane on the run-up end of the deck of a carrier. MB doesn't seem to cater for this and I can't get an Avenger with torpedo off the deck without crashing...need a little more runway.

Open the ship's cfg file in notepad. Near the top of the file find the section:

[flight_deck_section]
; this section defines the control points the
; AI (and LSO) use to steer towards the flight deck
width=32
length=241
takeoff_start=-6,21,-100
takeoff_stop=0,21,120
landing_start=0,500,-5000
landing_touch_down=0.1920005,15.5,-81.536003
landing_stop=0.1920005,15.5,0

Change the takeoff_start= value to something like:


[flight_deck_section]
; this section defines the control points the
; AI (and LSO) use to steer towards the flight deck
width=32
length=241
takeoff_start=-6,21,-120
takeoff_stop=0,21,120
landing_start=0,500,-5000
landing_touch_down=0.1920005,15.5,-81.536003
landing_stop=0.1920005,15.5,0

That will place you further back on the flight deck.

For different carriers you may have different values other than 100. I suggest you increase in intervals of 10 until you find the "sweet spot".

Safe landing:

That's what I am after. Thanks for your help there SW.
