USS Nimitz released

Can you please help me with nose kneel switch(F-14)? When I want to take off with launch bar I push this button and it's not working and I cannot use the catapult system.

I have the Pro version and all i have to do is just hit Shift+U to lower the nose and Shift+I to connect to the cat. Try seeing if your controls for the launch bar aren't assigned. If not then assign Shift+U. That should fix your problem.
 
I've been having a great time with this. One query: can anyone else hear the jet blast deflector (JBD) when it goes up (with shift-I)? The sound is audible on the default carrier, but I don't hear it on this one.
 
If you've got Netflix, there's a 10-part PBS series about life onboard the "Nimitz." Series title is "Carrier"; it's available on DVD or via "Watch Instantly" streaming.
 
Great topic at the avsim forums, very easy editing to exchange the default carriers to the new one. Thanks dswo :jump:
 
I only just got around to downloading this file and while it's not my normal cup of tea, this is simply amazing. How you managed to get all that detail with no hit on FPS is incredible. Normally I fly low and slow aircraft in the backcountry and that probably won't change much, I'll just be departing from Aircraft Carriers more than usual. :applause:

Could I please have a copy of that bgl file?Thanks

Here is the changed bgl file, a recovery carrier in place of the previous carrier. ananda has oked it and is making a different one, as well.

Starting time is about 0900 GMT near Kirkwall, Scotland, almost at the northern end of the UK. Take off from Kirkwall, head out on a bearing of 50 degrees and the Nimitz is soon in sight. It may not move on course untill about 0908, until then it may move slightly backwards and turn a half-circle, then head on a sourherly course staying close to the land for a coastal cruise. It has a cruise speed of 43 knots and slows down to make turns. This is 10 knots faster than a Nimitz can go, I think. The screenshots show the map of the first hours of the carriers journey and the start motions of the carrier.

Qoute ananda: "It starts on Monday at 09:00 from N59.24606787959993 W2.287871585657925 Returns on Tuesday at 13:00."

In this attempt to change the bgl to a carrier for prop and jet trapping, all I did was change the carrier. More changes may be possible as I learn........or something like it, lol.

The San Diego bgl available on this thread is also great, as it is, and I hope to learn from it although I foresee no need to change it.
 
Elevator problems? Can you just park on the elevator or can you go to the lower deck. because i ride the elevator done and when i get there i have tried to move under own power and by pushback and i fall though the carriers bottom deck.

seems as though some folks have been experiencing this, dropping through at the end of the ride. It is possible to go to lower deck and taxi in. In my case I have been able to enter every time but I do notice my wheels sinking into the platform the lower I go.

I hope I'm not out of order but I think Thrawn--Javier---is aware of the problem, has found a correction, and plans an update which may contain other additions as well. Anyway, that is my understanding at this time.

Sorry to bump, posted this yesterday but must have fallen between the cracks :kilroy:

May I ask which Intruder this is, it looks very nice and I like the smoke effect.
Cheers :ernae:

Wait for the groans and moans :icon_lol: , it's the Alphasim model with a Pierre Lheureux skin which was on AVSIM not sure where else unfortunately.

Pierre made several great skins for this model.
 
Yes i brought this aircraft when i downloaded the USS Nimitz was well impressed:monkies:
 
Just downloaded all the needed apps and installed this evening....

All I can say is..WOW!

Truly impressive work.

Thank You Javier! :ernae::applause::applause::applause::ernae:

Elevator problems?

Yip Ive answerd a few email on this from my Alphasim Belleau wood ship (First to do animated elevators) in flight sim back 2 beers..I mean (Years) ago.. The prob was that some aircraft models have slightly offset reference points sometimes..thus when the ref point hits the edge of the lifts hard deck it simply falls off and it seems to you that it (Falls through)..thats the way it goes on a (small) hard deck..such as a lift elevator:isadizzy:

Thanks noddy... the groans and moans have started :isadizzy:
There are 18 textures of Pierre Lheureux at flightsim all for Alphasim models but alas, the Intruder ones are missing. Mind you, his textures look like they might be well worth checking out :ernae:
