shagrat Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 do you have any videos? What Razbam should do is make it upto the mission maker how they want the deck configured of aircraft IMHO That way you add flexibility to the deck configurations. looks like a nice site with lots of images, even when on excercise http://www.seaforces.org/usnships/lha/LHA-1-USS-Tarawa.htmThat is the problem, I guess. The spawn positions especially in MP need to be consistent and manageable for ATC, AI and human players. I hope they manage to introduce more spawn points on the deck and in various areas, but it needs to wirknin conjunction with AI planes/helos, as well. As was mentioned, ED is currently doing a lot of new stuff for carrier ops and Razbam seems to work on implementation for the Tarawa.

AG-51_Razor Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The current OB version allows me this spawn point for the Mi8: I stand corrected but unfortunately, now when I spawn, I am sitting on the tram line and the rotor blades of my Mi-8 are in contact with the island. If I spawn cold, no problem unless I try to start the aircraft! If I spawn hot the aircraft is usually destroyed and I end up going over the port side anyway. I'd really like to know how Sunstag got that screen shot! I sure wish that ED or RAZBAM would get this fixed. After all, LHA stands for "Landing Helicopter Assault". The proper spawn points are all marked. That is where the helicopters are positioned for start up and takeoff/landing. How difficult can it be to determine what those coordinates are and assign them as a spawn point for a helicopter? I have even tried to choose one of the other 5 parking positions available in the ME but to no avail. I am still a rabbid RAZBAM fan and am enjoying all of their products but this is getting old.

jojo Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Well, as you experienced it, not all helicopters (light/ medium/ heavy) can use the same spots on LHA, and this is still beta. Without doubt your report is useful. Mirage fanatic ! I7-7700K/ MSI RTX3080/ RAM 64 Go/ SSD / TM Hornet stick-Virpil WarBRD + Virpil CM3 Throttle + MFG Crosswind + Reverb G2.

SUNTSAG Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hi All, This is by no means a simple process. One minute you think you have it sussed and then the next fix you put in place breaks another element. What's being shown here is a compromise to get the AI working after a fashion. There are limitations and I am trying to overcome them. Nothing is as simple as you think it should be but we are getting there. This does not represent the final version, it's simply a WIP update. Due to personal circumstances I am working on this as and when I am able so please be patient. Thanks everyone.

Appreciate very much, that you look into it. The Tarawa LHA-1 is one of the most interesting additions to DCS of late.

gunterlund21 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Suntsag you are soooo close on this. Put a mission together with two Av8 flying CAS. They took off from the Tarawa about 50 miles off the coast. Flew into the combat zone dropped their bombs and flew all the way back to the ship. Did a couple of patterns to set up for landing around the Tarawa only to land in the sea next to the ship.... Keep up the good work. Really close I was in Art of the Kill D#@ it!!!!

Nealius Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Personally I find only two shortcomings with the current Tarawa: 1: Starting cold/hot from the ramp does not put the Harrier on a parking spot 2: Starting on "the runway" puts you too far down the tram line. Harriers should be using the full length of the deck for takeoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNTSAG Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hi All, Whilst I completed the landing and parking elements previously, I have now found some workarounds for the takeoffs.

fargo007 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 These work as expected in SP, but regardless of parking spot, runway, etc. in MP an MI-8 always spawns next to the island and shortens its main rotor by a meter or so.

AG-51_Razor Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I am really looking forward to ED or RAZBAM getting this issue worked out. Sure seems to me that if a modder can do the stuff that Suntsag has done up to now with the Tarawa, the folks from ED or RAZBAM should be able to finish it properly.

Developing stuff for their upcoming South Atlantic/Falklands map? So would be the Razbam guy currently fixing it and showing us...

AG-51_Razor Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Well, I guess I owe Suntsag an appology. I did realize that he is part of RAZBAM now but as far as I can tell, the work he has been doing with the Tarawa has been outside his work on the Falklands map. I came to this conclusion due to his work showing up as a Mod rather than as part of one of the ED updates. Regardless of this, I really wish him all the luck in the world in this particular endeavor. His work on the Harrier Hide FARP is brilliant!!! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fargo007 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hear hear. The improvements in the Tarawa are fantastic. The yellow shirt on the tram moving his head is great. I have to look every time I take off or land. I hope this continues how it's going, because the improvements are indeed excellent. Have fun. Don't suck.

shagrat Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Can the Tarawa be sunk. I hit it with 8 missiles and no damage..I think currently not. Though 8 missiles of what type? It takes a lot of hits, preferably below the waterline to actually sink a large modern ship, especially a warship. Disabling it, or at least hamper its effective fighting capabilities is a different story... think taking out the bridge, radar, weapon systems.

shagrat Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 So it seems damage is not implemented, yet. 8 anti-ship missiles should at least damage even a Tarawa class.
