joey45 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 Lost my backups due to a massive hardware failure... Which means I need to remake the NOLF, it flickers in 1.5 but it could be something else. For the trailer it was in early whit box so not much wasted there.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Aginor Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 And people call me paranoid because I keep backuping (is that a word?) stuff on different hard disks all the time. I do it ever since I had the same problem you have now, when suddenly a hard disk crashed and I lost years of data. Years later I was thrilled when I discovered that some of it had survived on another PC. But most of it is gone forever. You should get a cheap USB drive or a NAS and do regular backups. Your hardware will never break again so you won't need it, but it makes you sleep so much better. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
joey45 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 I did manage to save some stuff like most of the textures but most stuff was corrupted.

Midnight Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 The trailer is done, now I just have to get Anubis to do the approach lighting for us. He is on safari till the end of the month I believe. 1

Aginor Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Very cool! That will make waiting for proper carrier operations much easier! :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
USSInchon Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Now all we need is China Lake and Fallon and we have a proper NAS operation.
Aginor Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Any news on this? Practising carrier approaches is a great pastime activity. :D :D DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
Aginor Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 The F/A-18C is coming, any news on this, guys? :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
gospadin Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Now all we need is China Lake and Fallon and we have a proper NAS operation. My beacon mod has their VORTACs placed. =P You could easily drop the NOLF there in an appropriate position. Does this NOLF have working arresting wires?

Aginor Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 As far as I know it doesn't. It is just a flat object with no collission detection and a semi-transparent texture. It is still very cool to train approaches. I have an early version somewhere on my hard drive, but a working OLS would really be the icing on the cake. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
USSInchon Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 My beacon mod has their VORTACs placed. =P You could easily drop the NOLF there in an appropriate position. Does this NOLF have working arresting wires? Real NOLF and Carrier Landing Practice areas do not have arresting gear. The idea is not to trap but to maximize approach to landing practice without the cost of sending out a carrier. The arresting gear that is located where fighters are, is for emergencies only.
Aginor Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) That's not completely accurate I think, or maybe it is now but that hasn't been the case in the past. IIRC I read somewhere that there were at least one or two that had arrestor wires like on a carrier for training purposes. I'll look it up again. EDIT: Huh, can't find it at the moment. Maybe I mixed it up with MCEAGS, which is a land-based system for short strips, but does not look like the ones on carriers but similar to the systems for emergencies. EDIT2: Found it, it is NAS Patuxent River, there is a Mk7 arresting gear for training and test and evaluation purposes installed there. Only a single wire though, instead of four like on a carrier. The reason for not using the cables are costs/logistics (you would need crew there to set them up, and not only LSOs for judging the landings) and of course stress on the hooks, airframes and so on. I also read somewhere that in many cases during training they avoid full-stop landings or even avoid touchdowns at all, to keep tires maintenance lower.

Aginor Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 что с модом ? Yandex translates your post as "what mod?" but I assume that you are asking about the status of this mod. I'd like to know that as well. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet

Aginor Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Yeah, it works, but no lights it seems, and no OLS yet. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
