Hello Gary,

Keeps getting better and better! I still get a big FPS drop when I'm taxing past the island - from 30 fps (locked) at approach to 6-7fps at island all the way to cat. Moment I clear the bow on launch, I'm up to 30.

Bearing in mind I have a5 year old stringbag of a PC, that may explain a lot - but on the RFN Foch, Nimitz, and the recent Bonnie, those FPSs are all at around the 30 range.

Not a complaint - just feedback, and maybe with the new model, it still needs a better pc to get over a particular .mdl rendering issue - don't know. But she looks nice, and the crew and A-4s add some nice ambience.

Bravo, sir!

hmmm...i'm running a 5 year old PC (albeit a quad core) with Vista32 (never got round to upgrading) an i'm getting consistent 30 FPS. Mind you I guess it depends on each PCs autogen setup, ai traffic and the million and one other tweaks and tuning that makes everyone's performance different.

I've stripped out every superfluous poly that I could find but i'll keep investigating. Thanks for the feedback DL - all good stuff!

:salute:

Been doing some "touch-n-goes" around this beauty this afternoon. Ok, actually I've been doing some bolters and crashes, if truth be told. Beautiful ship! I can get jets on the big carriers, and I can get F4Fs aboard the WW-II straight decks, but the combination of fast jets and relatively small deck has been giving me some trouble! The only thing I would note is that all my crashes result in me and my plane falling through the ship into the water, with the sim registering a "SPLASH" rather than a "CRASH". All those "SPLASHes" got me thinking the deck was "soft" (after all, it couldn't possibly be my carrier landing skills, right?) so I attempted a landing by helicopter, and all was fine. I'm going to get sent to the Air Force!! :icon_lol:
 
I don't do well landing on Oriskany. Flew the ball real nice on several approaches a little while ago with Dino's T-45, heard the wire catch but off the angle deck I go, into the water. :banghead: Finally got aboard with my nose wheel stopping about 4 ft from the end of the deck.

I've found if the rate of descent is too high you go right through the deck and hit the water before the deck has a chance to register the crash. I've set the platform material as Tarmac so it shouldn't be "too" soft!!!

:jump:

Glad to see everyone is having similar problems to me getting onto the small deck! I can land on fine with the T-45, tracker, sea vixen, scimitar (just)....but the F-8 and the whale are just too much of a handful for me...I either bolt or hit the rounddown!!!

Practice practice.....:mixedsmi:

Gary, I think that's exactly what's happening to me, LOL. Not the first time I've embarrassed myself with the hook down, won't be the last. :redf:
 
Nicely done! In my quick testing this afternoon I had 100% on my passes to the deck with no crashes or anomalies. In AICarriers, I had zero issues maintaining lineup and glideslope. It's a keeper, finally a good SCB Essex to run from!

:salute::applause:
 
For some unknown reason the Coral Sea just showed up and works fine. What a huge deck in comparison to the Oh Boat. I did spend some time on Coral Sea whilst it was undergoing refit.

Cheers. T
 
Arrested landings work even with heavy fast birds, however not getting the cat launch to work. (Coral Sea).

LOL, I assumed it must be the "Bonnie Dick" not HMS Bonaventure!

Same problem here when someone mentions "Lightning" etc :icon_lol:

LOL, I saw your post and was going to reply but I forgot. I knew what you were thinking! :icon_lol:
 
Gents,
Thought I'd bring this back around out of the depths of the "thread locker". Was wondering if there were any updates from Gary on this as well as Coral Sea or Midway.
All the best.

Interestingly enough I was just looking at midway the other day....pulling some reference photographs together as well as trying out some new textures on the basic model frame I have.

I also found some cracking Essex class textures so was seeking permission from the texture author to use, to do another update to oriskany, Shanghai-la, Hancock and lexington

i'm still working on ark royal at the moment....having a nightmare trying to add deck lighting....I might pick lazurus brain on better ways of doing it!

Hermes is also about 80% complete but I'm not happy with the textures!! (I'm not the best texture artist in the world)

cheers
Gary
 
Hi Gary,

nice to hear new developpement for those carriers. For the Ark and adding the lights are you using MCX?.

Yeah MCX, I've got 30% of the lighting added but it's a very laborious process, and moving the attach points around to get them in the right spot on the deck more often than not causes MCX to crash and I lose the attachpoints I just added and I have to start all over again.
 
Well Gary, the first gen Oriskany worked well for a M/P session last week, so I cant wait to see what the future brings.

Thanks
-Jeff
 
Yes its a long process with MCX maybe someone here knows a faster way. If you want me to try it on my system to see if it crash too just drop me a PM

Hope you hear something back - those textures on those additional Essex boats sound terrific!
