WW2 Carrier help needed!

[peter12213]

Hi guys I just downloaded the Casablanca class escort carriers
Gambier Bay (CVE-73) and Bougainville (CVE-100) and as I can't get AIcarriers to work I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good tracks that I could add! I really need a WW2 carrier for certain aircraft I fly and any help would be much appreciated! If anyone could make a track for me I would really like one circleing Diego Garcia Navy in the Indian ocean! Thanks in advance!
Regards Pete.

you can build ai-ship route yourself

the tool is named

AI Boat Traffic Compiler (AIBTC) is a software to create, edit and compile schedules for ships in Flight Simulator X. It is inspired by the venerable TTools of Lee Swordy to create AI aircrafts schedules. A prior knowledge of aircraft AI traffic is needed to understand this document. A good source of documentation is the help file of TTools 2.0


A big thank you to Lee Swordy who published the specification of the BGL traffic files which was very useful to create this tool.

Hi Folks

Peter -
ISTR there is a precompiled AI traffic file included.

If that traffic isn't showing up,
ensure you've removed ALL FS9 traffic files.

Peter, if you draw me a path with Google Earth and save it as KML, I will compile a boat track for you.

 

[peter12213]

Here where I want them to be

and if possible here too

Thanks for any help in advance!

Ok, here it is. Gambier Bay goes up and down once every hour off Newcastle, beginning at 0600Z (which is currently 7 am). Bougainville circles Diego Garcia every twelve hours, starting at 0200Z (which is currently 7 am), starting NW of the island and circling counterclockwise on the route you indicated. GB runs at 20 knots, B at 30, for purpose of timing.

David thanks you so much mate, I'd be stuck without this if it wern't for decent people helping like yourself!
Regards Pete!

Couple of shots to say thanks!

Those are great shots. It looks like you are much better at landing on it than I am.

I am actually working on improving this model again. Greatly improved deck appearance and added details on the tower are planned.

 

[peter12213]

Thanks mate, yeah I love these through deck WW2 carriers there great fun, I find them easier to land on than the angle decks of modern carriers!
Its great news you are improving them again, some deck crew would be a nice addition too I feel.
Regards Pete!

Thank you! I've used your carriers with AI Carrier, but later this fall I'm hoping to do some routes in south Pacific.

 

[peter12213]

looking forward to those Dave!

I have wanted this as well. Any other suggestions are welcome to be handled as time allows.
