A little tour of the new SimWorks USS Corral Sea CV43 - THe dude on the cherry picker is animated - Looks like he is wiping window. Pretty neat.

Air Boss Office where he barks to all on the flight deck "FOD Walk down" "Everyone get into the proper flight deck gear- Helmets on, goggles down"

The bridge - everyone you see in there is animated.

The carrier looks great but I'm not sure about the bridge and flyco crew's upper bodies reflecting light. Don't think it would bother me much.. I'd just not look up there!!

After installing the F4 you will be presented with the install for the Corral sea. After the install (Corral Sea) copy this config to your AI carriers config. In order to see this AI carrier you have to add the following to your AI carriers cfg file:

[formation.0]
title=USS Coral Sea CVA-43 1965
unit.0=CVA-43 USS Coral Sea 1965, 6, -35
unit.1=VEH_cruiser01, -3000, -1000
unit.2=VEH_destroyer01, 3000, -1000
unit.3=VEH_destroyer01, 200, -8000
unit.4=VEH_destroyer01, 900, 7000

I've got it now. The first time it wouldn't install. I think Norton was the villain in this case.

There is a separate installer for the Coral Sea in your FSX Folder \SimWorks Studios\USS Coral Sea
 
No Midway stuff

Didn't see any Midway stuff mentioned in the readme:

In your Flight Simulator X\SimWorks Studios you will find:
-AI Carriers folder: Copy the configuration files in your AI Carriers\conf.d folder to be able to spawn CVA-41 and CVA-43
-Flights: Copy the flight files in your Documents\Flight Simulator X files folder. Two flights are provided, starting on the deck of CVA-41 or CVA-43 with the F-4B Phantom II off Vietnam.
 
Your response leaves me both dazed and confused. There was not Midway files that I could find in this latest update, on a coral sea AI. In the SIMWORKS studio there is a corral sea install file no Midway.
There is a AI carrier folder with info on how to add Corral sea to the AI carriers menu again, no mention of midway.
THere is the file in the Core SIMWORKS STUDIO that states and I quote;

"In your Flight Simulator X\SimWorks Studios you will find:
-AI Carriers folder: Copy the configuration files in your AI Carriers\conf.d folder to be able to spawn CVA-41 and CVA-43
-Flights: Copy the flight files in your Documents\Flight Simulator X files folder. Two flights are provided, starting on the deck of CVA-41 or CVA-43 with the F-4B Phantom II off Vietnam.

ENJOY!"

If no Midway was supplied, then why is the CVA-41 mentioned? Are you not supplying it with this update or what? Fair question I think.......
What have I missed? In the flights folder there are files titled F4B on USS Corral sea . No Midway flights. :dizzy:

Please feel free to elaborate on this...... Oh and I don't have/use TACPAC.

You can spawn them both equally well via TacPack.

Gray Eagle this readme file slipped my attention. Initially the F-4B would come with a free carrier which would be the Midway. For historical reasons this was changed to Coral Sea and as initially promised, only this one ship will be given with the Phantom.

The Midway will be sold separately as a bundle with Coral Sea for those interested in the ships only. F-4 buyers are entitled to a discount as they already have one of the ships.

This carrier package is under closed testing, thus the readme file and reply that both work fine from Daventry, who is a tester with access to both.
 
Alex,

Thanks for the explanation. I kinda had a feeling that was the case. :adoration:

No launch bar

Okay, When I try the launch sequence with one of the SIMWORK F4's on the SIMWORKS Corral sea I taxi to the shuttle and employ the standard SHIFT + keys to start the launch sequence
i/e/ taxi to just past the shuttle press Shift + U then Shift + I nothing happens except I get remarks in red in the upper left corner

Toggle Launch Bar Switch_0
Toggle Arm Assist toggle: 0


I don't know what that is all about but nothing happen
the NWG doesn't pop up no bridle no nothing.

Shouldn't this all work out of the box using the standard carrier launch keys?

I am curious what that gun director mounted above the bridge directs.
Click to expand...

All the pictures I found circa 1960-70's clearly shows the gun director and I suspect it would have been the primary director for the then mounted 5in guns, as the director seems very similar to the Cruiser and Destroyer gun directors for their gun batteries.

Great looking model too..
 
Ah, I see now, I had missed the guns in previous screen shots. I thought it looked like a main mount gun director.
