USS Nimitz released

Hello Guys!

I can't get this stupid thing to work! I'm getting very frustraded now.
My problem is that I dont get a "Add-on" icon ingame.
I've tried everything in this thread. And when FSX is loading before the menu, I get this message asking me if I want to run aicarriers.exe. So i guess the path or the exe.xml file is working. But still no Add-on icon.

But i noticed that when I run the aicarriers.exe i get this error-message about Java. So i guess and HOPE thats the problem.
But I've downloaded several java programs and still this java error message. I'm not sure I am dowloading the right file. So could any of you guys give me a link to the right Java program?
I have windows 7 64bit.

I would really appreciate it!

And the Nimitz Readme say they "strongly recommend" to use aicarriers. But can you use this addon whitout Aicarriers? And in that case How?

ANother member here just went through the very same situation. I helped him troubleshoot
the installation in both his XP and Win7 systems. We checked everything. The EXE.XML was
correct. All paths were correct. FS.CFG had the proper entry in the "Trusted" section.

It came down to reinstalling an earlier version of Java.

I suggest you go to the Java home page and run the Java test there to see if it is working
OK on your system. Go here:

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

If you do not get a Java screen stating "Your Java is working"
then you have the same problem he had. He had the most recent
version of Java installed but it failed to work for some reason.

Only after uninstalling that version and installing an earlier version
was he able to get aicarriers to appear in the menu.

Nimitz ILS frequency?

I would like to firstly pay tribute to GypsyBaron for all his help in sorting out my problem with Java so that I can now make AICarriers work Thank you very much for all your help and time.

But, now that I have a fleet of aircraft carriers I would like to fly the ILS beam onto the deck. I have flown in my Caeena out to sea and put the Nimitz 10 miles ahead of me. I have then tried all the whole number ILS frequencies i.e. 108, 109 from 108 to 117 but at no point does the ILS show. I have then tuned the ILS to my local airfield and flown the beam back to base so I know the ILS in my Cessna is good.

I am probably doing something wrong, can someone please tell me what it is? (Once I have the ILS working I wil graduate to the Goshawk which is a delight to fly.)

Thank you.
 
FSX doesn't allow for NAVAIDS to be attached to moving objects, i.e. ships. The only way to do it is using a custom gauge that finds the ship and works out the maths, there is an updated HUD gauge for the default F/A-18 that does this, do a quick search through this forum. It'll probably work in the Goshawk as well but I haven't tried.
 
Thanks.

Dear Gypsybaron, SkippyBing and Flameout.

Thanks for the information, I will just have to practice at Pensacola and then strap on a F-18 and fly out to the ship.

The AirWarrior site [ www. airwarrior. net / files . html ] site is very useful (The address should be entered without the spaces; I am a newcomer and so cannot paste web links.)

Thanks again,

Hi guys!

This carrier is absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot!

I have one problem. Whenever I take-off and I roll over the end of the carrier runway at high speed, it crashes the sim and says I fell into the water.. =(. I hope you know what I mean. If I get in the air completely before crossing the end of the runway, there is no problem at all.

Are there any fixes for this? I run FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2.
 
Carrier sound problems..?

I am not able to hear catapult, launch, blast door sounds for the carrier.
I have confirmed that correct folders are in main USS Nimitz folder.

sound
soundai

That both have valid sound.cfg files and that the sounds referenced are in
the main FSX sound folder.

I can trap and launch without any problems.
I am using AICarriers2

I had upgraded to Win7 32bit but can't see how that would be an issue.

Any thoughts would be appreciated..
Thanks,
tc
 
Carrier sound problems..

I don't have any carrier sounds.
No launch, trap, blast door sounds, etc.

sound
soundai

That both sound.cfg files are good and that the sounds referenced are in the main
FSX sound folder are there.

This is the Nimitz 2 package.
The carrier animation, catapult and traps work fine.
I've done a complete re-install without any resolution.

I recently upgraded to Win7 32bit but can't see how that would effect it.

Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks,

When installing AIcarriers did you select the marked carrier textures box?
If you did uninstall AIcarriers and then reinstall it without that box checked, when I first installed AIcarriers that gave me a lot of trouble.
 
Thanks guys for your responses.

"Daube" your comment had me take a look at Acceleration and it does look like I have a problem there. Repairing Acceleration has no effect so I am in uninstall\re-install mode.

Thanks again..
 
Title Menu Bar

Hey Guys,

Just fired up FSX after several months. Had the Nimitz v.1 running previously, and no installed Nimitz v.2 and now the "add-ons" and "tools" tabs have disappeared. aicarriers2 seemed to install properly. Did I miss something with the installation? It ran fine last year when I used v.1. Suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks,

Mark
 
Make sure you have a <launch.addon> Launch.Addon node for AICarriers2r2 in your exe.xml file.</launch.addon>
