echonovember2 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It’s a bug when the carrier speed is over 19 knots. The carrier’s speed in this mission is set at 30 knots, which simulates closely the wind over the deck you’d see in real life carrier ops. The solution seems to be reducing carrier speed to 19 knots and under and adding wind. The side effect of this is that you’ll introduce a rolling deck. Thank you!

LORD FLASHEART Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hey Jar, This appears to work, the trigger zones might need minor tweaks. As I had started off with a slightly modded file for my use, the 200 Modex has been changed to VF-103, but other than that it should be all good. Let me know what you think. Tony[/QUote] WE HAVE A WINNER!! Great job TonyG, please PM me your paypal or I can gift you a module of your choice with your Username and email. Thank you very much sir, saved me a stack of time!

jonasdc94 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Is it possible to move the carrier around and maybe change direction without ****ing up the triggers? Want to implement this in a mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yes if you grab the Stennis you can drag the fleet. Only need to re-positions the surrounding ships if you change the heading. I put some clear plastic on the monitor and mark where the ships are to make a template then turn it to the new heading and match the units up. The Trigger zones are all attached to the ships so it doesn’t matter where you leave those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra99 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Copy the folders BAZAR, COREMODS, MODS and SCRIPTS. Paste them into your DCS World OpenBeta folder. Allow them to overwrite the files. Can this be installed using OVGME? Thank you for sharing this with the community. I know a LOT of time and effort went into this.

ScottyBS Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Congrats on some great work. Have watched you guys with your modded Hornet for quite a while. It might be me having a dim moment - can somebody explain exactly how this works? I have it installed , I can get the different UH1 viewpoints from the LSO. Is this for multiplayer only or can I use it by myself - if so how? Do I fly a case 1 then play it back ? I cannot seem to get the LSO to talk to me. Can I watch my landings using the LSO view? Any help would be great. From just down the road from JAR. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi Scotty am close to finishing a comprehensive LSO training film that should hopefully cover all the info needed to use the mod and mission. To LSO your own traps you’d need to either: - record tracks then watch them back from LSO. - have a second PC host the mission, set it to PLAT cam and Fraps/shadowplay record. This is how the VFA-113 PLAT movies are recorded. - for practice you could assign a joystick button to LSO view so you can snap to the platform and back. You probably need to pause to check yourself but I use this while flying to take a quick peek at other guys approaching as well in MP. Video soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Sone of our guys use OVGME and report it works. I set the folder structure up for that correctly I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyBS Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thanks mate - I will wait for the video. I have the second PC available but I suppose I would need 2 x DCS Huey’s to make it work? One on each install. Also - do you have a sim pit? If so what did you go for/where did you get it I am on the GC. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifafan Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Can't launch DCS with mods installed in the newest version. The process kills itself and the game never launch. But after I repair the game,it's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAF [136] Striker Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Every time I try to get into the LSO position I'm looking up to the sky and can't seen anything else. I've installed the LSO PLAT view and I'm using the left Alt F9. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

HiJack Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The Carrier in the provided mission is set to 30 knots speed. According to online available information that is 5 knots to fast for recovery and 8 knots to fast for launch. Any thoughts on that? Or, why? Is there a good reason for the speed?

LORD FLASHEART Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi Hijack, great question! In game fleet speed seems to be restricted to max 27 knots and to be honest it’s just been set to 30 for years just to make sure we get maximum wind over the deck. Corrrect me if I’m wrong but the number you see on a real PLAT CAM crosshair below the CLEAR/FOUL icon is WOD (wind over the deck) in knots. For most real US Navy PLAT CAM videos I’ve seen this number ranges from 26-31. If you can show me something that says maximum WOD for recovery is 25 knots I’d be very interested. Not concerned about launch speed as we need the correct WOD for traps. We don’t use wind in the mission as it causes pitching deck and reduces the fairness of the grading boxes. It also throws the less confident guys out during the final turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi Titafan, very sorry to hear you’re having issues. Mine semis to be working normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yes you are right. Looked up the information again and they set the speed the airboss decides. According to John Chesire a former Fighter Pilot: "If there is no natural wind, the carrier will speed up to 25- 30 knots through the water to make all its own wind over the deck." EDIT: But don't try that in DCS in Winter conditions. You will be crab food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiJack Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I hope it is OK I used your modified PLAT CAM and the Carrier OPS mission to set up my live server? You are all welcome to test it :) Server: Jack’s live PLAT CAM server IP and port: 46.9.202.59:10308 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHBuAKz3Jhs Twitch: Youtube is best if you like to watch your landing after as you can select play time. Thanks :thumbup: PS! My PLAT CAM is WIP and may need some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD FLASHEART Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Jack, the box overlay you are using there is the VFA-113 PLAT crosshair. The real US Navy PLAT CAM doesn’t have the black and red boxes. I made the boxes a specific size based on input from a current Hornet pilot that sometimes flies with us so that the deviations are calibrated to what might realistically require a correction and affect a grading. Therefore the yellow RAMP ALIGN arrow and zooming back is important for those reasons. I can send you the 4K version that has larger grading boxes which would be more suitable to the view you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
