: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.

AI Carriers runs just as well with Win 7, if you have installed the app correctly and have included the cvn 68-69 you should see more than one page in the menu when you select ctrl + j. The various configurations are listed there. You also need this cfg file in the conf.d folder. The cfg name is cvn_id.cfg.

Hello,
first of all I wish to say thank you to the authors of these wonderful addons that make FSX a real beauty!
I have a couple of questions about it though:
1) how do I trigger the catapult "shooter"?
2) which key activate the carrier elevators to the hangar?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Hi albix
Shift+U to extend the launch bar
Shift+I to attach to the catapult
Shift+Spacebar to fire the catapult

As far as getting down to the hanger you just have to wait for the elevator to move. No key command that I know of to call the elevator. Moves about every 30 sec. or so.

Hope this helps

Jim
 
I used to have it, then a crash in FSX reset all my 'addon menu' type stuff. I can't get Ai carriers installed now. It pisses me off.

I as well have always had a tough time getting this add on installed but it is so worth it I suffer through and find a way to make it work.

Thank you very much for the help Jim.
I have seen in a video that the catapult officer (shooter) moves at the launch. I cannot see it in mine, how does it work?
Thank you.

what'd you do? The manual install doesn't make sense to me and the installer doesn't work.

You may be suffering from NET Framework version problems.

I helped someone here get both his XP and Win7 installations going
with aicarriers2r2 a couple of months back.

After looking at all sorts of possible issues...EXE.XML entries, etc...
it came down to his removing the most recent NET version and reverting
back to an earlier version.

AIR, somewhere along the line, the NET installation process changed. Where it
used to keep prior versions along with an update, apparently now it
trashes earlier versions. Since aicarriers2r2 was written during the
"earlier period", this may be an issue now.

Paul


EDIT: The post following this jogged my memory and it WAS Java that was
the problem with the installs and reverting back to a previous version
solved the problem.

Thanks limjack!

I followed the readme file like it told me to do step by step but the Java part got me and my ship was not showing up. To finally get it to work on my computer I had to install Jave 32bit and 64 bit and when I did this the ships finally appeared. I have Windows 7 64bit on my computer.

I attached a couple pics of how I installed my files into fsx that I had posted earlier in another thread. If they help great, if not I suck at teaching :icon_lol:. But that jave thing is the one that screwed me up.

If i choose one of the carrier groups i see the wash of the excort vessels going up in the air. Did anyone else encountered this?
 
That could be a reasone. But i dont think i have changed my wake file anytime. Maybe its in the effect itself as written in that thread in the link?
