USS Nimitz Ike version2 Out

Gypsy,

Thanks for all your help. I followed your directions, and my .dll file reads as it should, but Traffic tools still does not show up on the menu drop down list.

Least for now, I give up.

Run Ai carriers and hit shift-j in game to bring up the menu. Explore the menu to find different carriers

Thanx it works. One more: how do I get some traffic on the deck (default planes, people) So far I can only choose between carriers and groups.

Also, is it somehow possible to juist leave planes on the deck and land another, I would like to "fill up" the deck myself ;)

The people and planes on the deck that you see in the screenshots are part of the model itself, so you must choose a carrier group and see if you like its deck configuration.

Also, is it somehow possible to juist leave planes on the deck and land another, I would like to "fill up" the deck myself ;)

No that is not possible as far as I know.
 
Acceleration is like a patch so it its a part of FSX and doesnt need to be run seperately. What plane are you trying to lauch. I believe if it doesnt have a lauch bar point it cant be attached to the catapult, also you need to be at the correct spot on the catapult before it will arm, needs a bit of expimentation.
 
I was trying with the f-14D, I think I tried some others, too (hornet / superhornet, intruder, corsair, prowler...) I also know about STRG+U and STRG+I, but besides lowering the launch bar nothing really happens. I'm sure I'm missing something here... either a file or a command... don't really know what else to try anymore...

In addition you've done, lower the LB from virtual cockpit just to be sure. Place aircraft's front wheel directly on top of the catapult.

I've tried for some hours yesterday and it's not working. Can anybody guide me through the process step by step?
 
Navy Chief,
I have also downloaded, Nimitz,AI carriers but to no avail. I have A/Carriers on runway,Flying and crashing to earth.Now I get nothing. Have followed instructions,nada. I am using XP Home and have FSX + Acceloration. Desperate.
 
Nimitz

Wilycoyote4 have tried to contact you but SOH refuses to allow it.
:isadizzy:
Downloaded AI Carriers 1+2,Nimitz 1+2,Carrier tracks 1+2,Pilotable Update package.
Downloadedas per Istructions,although some items are left with no Instruction where to place them (no rude comments)
Load FSX,Free flight,F18,Oahu. Over see pressed ALT nothing happened,Pressed Shift J ,a menu appears with choise of Battle groups,no NIMITZ.Pressed Shift J another menu appears, stop,forward etc.No other menus. I flew round the Island until a battle group appeard but no CARRIERS. You mention something about AI routes program which I don't have. Will see what happens.

Dunno what's going on.
Downloaded AI Carriers 1+2,Nimitz 1+2,Carrier tracks 1+2,Pilotable Update package.
Why both? I think you only need AICarriers2.
Again, for the Nimitz package only the second, I think.
Pilotable means you have a carrier to move over the sea as a ship captain not an aircraft pilot.
Overwriting may help prevent conflicts but I don't know and you may find that's part of your program.

Need to know exact "item".
Load FSX,Free flight,F18,Oahu.

I flew round the Island until a battle group appeard but no CARRIERS. You mention something about AI routes program which I don't have. Will see what happens.
I must jump to a conclusion ----when you press alt, a menu at the top of the game should appear as a line listing several selections from left to right. At the right end should be "addon" and clicking on this will create a drop-down menu.

Select aicarriers or keyboard shift =J as you have but you should check the the drop-down to check. How many pages do you have of carriers?

AI Routes enables you to download the program and create your boat traffic or you can download the routes created by others. Carrier tracks 1+2 seems to be a collection of tracks.

Hoping this helps and hoping others will help you.

Screenshots may help.
 
i have to questions well 1 question 1 request

question : how do i what you guys have done in some screenshots of the tanker re fueling i think it was the tanker

request: could you make this into a airport so i could add it as a addon airport so i dont have to find water or a carrier becuase i like to start on the carriers


P.S i have carrier strike force installed and FSX:Acceleration
 
Dear Wilycoyote 4,

No, I didn't know I was posting on an old Forum, thanks for the info.

I have printed out Post 95 but no progress. I have loaded one of Dr Wilson-Okamura's tracks and have a T-45 on the flight deck but when I press Alt the Add Ons menu in the Menu bar only shows FSUIPC. I have tried Shift +J but nothing happens.

I am using AI Carriers Release 2, 3 Nov 2007. I have installed it into C\Prog Files and copied the CVN_68_69.cfg file into C\Prog Files\AIcarriers\Conf.d so I am not sure what to do next.

Thank you,

Tregarth

I am also using Version 2 of the Nimitz which I have just downloaded from Flight Sim.

I am using Win 7, could that be an issue?

Hoping this helps.
 
:salute: I have at last the carriers but no aircraft on deck.I have changed the settings to high,no result. As for add-on aircraft,(F15) Windows7 will not download them onto FSX. FSX files are not similar as in XP. Has anyone had the same problem?
As for landings, so far 100%.Silky smooth.

The carrier with the refueler alongside is one of the options that you get when you press ctrl + j. There is more than one page to the menu, and on my system the refueler appears on page three.

No. you cannot start a flight on deck as such, as the carriers are ai, not scenery, and the position isn't constant. However, you can save a situation and then re-load it, but when doing so you must get the brakes on quickly or else you end up in the ogin.
