Does the Vought OS2U Kingfisher still work?  I can't seem to get it to work when I put it into the mods aircraft folder.

 

EDIT: it just crashes my DCS.

As you know, In DCS, you may not spawn aircraft upon the water, or land/take off.

 

 

Or can you..........:D

 

 

Presenting,

 

The DCS Float Plane Mod!

 

 

Included,

A Sea Plane tender.

It is invisible. Can be placed anywhere there is water.

Next to a carrier works well.

 

 

And, The Latécoère 290 Float Plane!

 

 

The Latécoère 290 was a torpedo bomber floatplane produced in France during the 1930s. Designed by Latécoère in response to an Aéronavale specification for such an aircraft, the 290 was based on its successful Laté 28.3 mail plane. It was a conventional high-wing, strut-braced monoplane that carried a single torpedo externally under the fuselage.

 

 

Also, I have created two custom weapons for it.

A New bomb, and a New torpedo.

Both are mountable in the ME.

The Torpedo currently can not be deployed.

I have not figured out how to do this yet.

I have copied the Weapon code correctly, but it will not drop.

A WIP

If anyone can help with the torpedo deployment, Please do share!

 

 

The model comes courtesy of, and with permission from,

This is a new tender.

It has flares at the four corners on the carrier deck to make seeing it at night time possible.

 

It also has 4 smoke markers also placed at the four corners for day time use.

I have given it a new name so both it, and the invisible tender may be used at the same time in the same mission.

The invisible version is good for placing is bays and harbors to add float plane ambiance or traffic,

as xvii-Dietrich has pointed out.

 

Have fun!

Hello Hawkeye60,

I am currently working on a helicopter mod that is supposed to float on the surface of the water.
Can you tell me how you made your aircraft floatable, because I didn't understand your script!

Thank you...

Hey Tomcat!

What are you trying to achieve?

All you should need is the tender.

Install in saved games,

Place helicopter on deck in the me.

"Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

You can actually get these planes working by removing the weapons folder. You can still put weapons on them.

My guess is they won't land on water though.

Not sure if this helps, but the Eastern Front 1946 server uses torpedoes on a few different kinds of planes, like the Bf-109 and the P-47, and they are deployed using the jettison weapon button. Not sure how he got the torpedoes onto those planes, but you might be able to figure it out from the track file...
