USS George H W Bush Glitching

[KSilva]

Anyone else experiencing glitches with the USS George H W Bush mod?

Every time I try to trap, I go straight through.

Anyone has any fixes for this?

Thanks.

Hey Silva, which A/C are you trying to land?

 

I have personally only tried to land the Su-33 on the Bush since the last update, but have experienced the same thing. I suspect the Bush is no longer a viable landing platform with the new carrier physics introduced for the Su-33 PFM on the Kuznetsov.

[KSilva]

I was flying the F/A-18C Mod from ISVA.

I think that Crazy Eddie was stating something in another post about the transparency of the deck and landing and taking off in the ship or something like that...Maybe he can chime in if he reads this..

[Greekbull]

Yes, absolutely would love to see if there's a fix for this :D

+1

 

Oh, yes please, fix asap.

 

Was thinking of having another go at carrier landings with working meatball.

The Bush is a VFA-113 Stingers Mod, its not mine.

 

As far as I remember the Bush was cloned over the Kutznetzov, so it will act and do the things the Kutznetzov will do in the exact same way.

 

I have never tried the ISVA F18 Mod so I have no idea what that does, but would assume it will act like the in game F18. You could try landing the in game AI F18 on it and if that works then it is the ISVA F18 that is the problem and you would need to contact the ISVA mod maker for a solution.

 

I suspect it might be something to do with the changes made for the Su33 as suggested by feefifofum but I do not know what those changes were, I have not done anything with Carriers for a while except to update my old mods, which were all cloned over the in game Vinsen.

 

I think you need to contact the guys who made the Bush mod, if you are having that problem I suspect they are too and they will be working on a solution. But try the in game F18 first and take it from there.

Hi guys, apologies if the various mods we promote are starting to be incompatible with newer versions of DCS.

VFA-113 maintain a copy of DCS 1.5.6.5199 for use with our mods as this was the pinnacle of mod stability for us. Also we only contributed to the Bush, I believe it’s orignally a Tomcatz mod, worked on by Morkva55, Alf7, myself, CDPKobra and the incredible meatball/LRLS by Anubis.

 

Our last mission was 6 Hornets for 2.5 hours with no respawn, launch from the Bush, each aircraft refueling 3 times from the RAAF tanker, A2A/A2G and recovery to the Bush.

 

I understand folks have fixes available for mods but at the present I’m recommending VFA-113 and VFA-83 guys to keep their updated DCS Worlds mod-free for the upcoming official releases and just use our copies of 1.5.6.5199 for our combat missions.

So is this all packaged together with the new fix?

[cdpkobra]

all different versions are new, no Kuznecow ramp

 

I create new collision model with small ramp, for the start of the Su-33 PFM

Nice Kobra Thanks man

Have you done what Blacklibrary in message 8 is pointing to, updating the three lua files in the carrier mod. ??

 

My Process:

 

1. I got the most recent George Bush carrier mod from the VFA stingers sight at http://www.users.on.net/~jase_ash/http:/www.users.on.net/~jase_ash/styled-14/index.html (Hornet 8.3 file).
   
2. I removed the following from the GMJE compatible directory structure "\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs" folder as it has old versions of Su-33 SFM default keyboard and joystick configs, which stuffs the new PFM ones in game.
   
3. I then applied the (three lua modifications provided by Blacklibrary in forum = Bush.lua, BushRunwaysAndRoutes.lua, entry.lua) into the "Mods\tech\USS George H. W. Bush CVN-77 directory.
   
4. Tested in game landing of Su-33 PFM onto George Bush carrier with AI and he lands perfectly with no issues and DCS doesn't crash, then tried flying it my self, no DCS crash, and I put the plane onto the carrier deck but missed the wires, didn't disappear through the deck, I just did a bolter back into the air.
   
5. Didn't test any of the FA-18c mod side of things.
   

However due to my poor flying skills I haven't been able to trap the wires yet in the Su-33 :mad:

Thanks Kobra, quick question, there are 4 zips in the main link and 4 zips in the 'alt' folder, which is the correct one?
