Thanks for your help make_view_settings('Rafale_M', ViewSettings, SnapViews) mount_vfs_texture_path (current_mod_path.."/Textures") Au début de ton fichier lua du Rafale M tu dois avoir ces deux lignes, c'est un problème de view et pas de textures, on pense, si tu n'as pas ces deux lignes copies les ou au pire remet le fichier lua d'origine du Pack Rafale Evolution, c'est pour cela que l'on dit souvent de ne pas trafiquer les fichiers lua car ce sont des usines a gaz, avec quatre avions et des view differentes.

toan Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Bonjour, Merci pour cette réponse rapide. Oui, j'ai bien ces deux lignes en tete de mon fichier Rafale_M.lua Donc, c'est autre chose.... Je vais remettre le fichier lua d'origine du Pack Evolution.... Et enlever les derniers Mod que j'ai installé (p.ex. le VSN F-35). Merci encore 1

Beldin Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Thank you so much for your great mods. I've been working with the lua files to maximize carrier capabilities for AI take off and maximum spawning on deck and then landing and parking. I've been working to get all the naval aviation mods (planes and carriers) working together and hope to release some lua files soon. Here's some screen shots. Sadly the F-8 is not working correctly at this time but all the other planes are 6

Hi, Yes, the Super Etendard has been shared by the Cuesta Bros as a playable Mod since long It's a very fun strike fighter to fly, with a nice payload, including the Exocet missile It's bundled with the Clemenceau aircraft carrier Have look here to download them : Many thanks again to the Cuesta Bros for their excellent work ! Enjoy ! 2

Sadly the F-8 is not working correctly at this time but all the other planes are Hi Beldin, very nice work you have done with the parking slots and the aircraft (I love that F-8 Crusader....). Will you share your files ? One question that was raised in this forum earlier is the availability of the parking slots when aircraft are landing on the deck. It has been mentioned that when they park after landing, they might be directed to free slots, but then interfere with the red painted safety line of the landing area. This triggers automatically wave-offs of all subsequent landing aircraft. Have you managed to deal with this ? Anyway, I'm looking forward to use your excellent work ! Thanks !....
Beldin Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Hey toan, thank you. I will post the files soon. I've not yet really messed with the landing/parking yet. Getting the AI take off and spawning has been a learning experience to say the least. My goal has been to try and get each carrier to be able to launch at least one full squadron from the deck with the correct aircraft working on the carriers they should. So far I've got Clemenceau 18 aircraft Etendard, Rafale, F/A-18 A/C, E-2, C-5 Greyhound De Gall 16 aircraft Etendard, Rafale, F/A-18 A/C, Superbug, F-35C, E-2, C-5 Greyhound L61 12 aircraft Harrier or F-35B Príncipe de Asturias 12 aircraft Harrier (F-35B should work) And a few others The Mod will will require update both ship and aircfraft lua so it's a bit to sort out, lol. Trying to get the helos now then the landing stuff after that. Thinking of calling it the Nato Naval Aviation MOD. Here a few more screens 3

As you probably know, the only aircraft operating on the Clemenceau R98 carrier were the Etendard, Super Etendard, Crusader and Alizé aircraft. The only ones on the Charles de Gaulle R91 were the Super Etendard and Rafale, and are now the Rafale and Hawkeye. This might somehow simplify the aircraft lua files update process.... There are also in the DCS User Files archive some static mission templates for the US Navy carriers, for specific trap, launch, and mixed operations. Looking forward to your Mod. Thanks !

According to my research the Clemenceau class did operate the the Rafale for a short time (maybe it was only Foch). And Look up Operation Chesapeake from 2017. The USN and French Navies did some "cross deck" training with the Charles de Gaulle. They have a full squadron of Rafle and an E-2 operating off the G.W. Bush, and i assume U.S. aircraft operating from the Charles de Gaulle. I've read other reports of US pilots practicing landing on the Charles de Gaulle as well as beside Operation Chesapeake. We also lent the French 2 C-5 Greyhounds at one point. That's why those are included. Being the only two Navies with catapults they are apparently working to ensure some redundancy if things get hot. But yes, under normal circumstances, the aircraft you listed for the French carriers are correct .

But yes, under normal circumstances, the aircraft you listed for the French carriers are correct . Hi Beldin, you are right, the French and US Navy can now operate their aircraft on both carriers. As far as I know, the Rafale is the only foreign fighter authorised to do so. Specific trials and joint exercises see them operate off each other for limited periods of time. But their normal squadrons are such as I mentioned previously. Also, the F-18 was tested on the Charles de Gaulle long ago, and had some suporters in the French Navy, before the Rafale was chosen. Indeed, both Navies cooperate and practice regularly common procedures and training. Further, part of the French Navy candidates are sent to the US for their initial and on board pilot qualifications in a comprehensive cursus. Below are two screenshots showing my parking slots for the Clemenceau and Charles de Gaulle to free the landing area and avoid 'fooled deck' signals and unwanted wave-offs.... Looking forward to use your Mod. Thanks for your work Edited January 18, 2023 by toan 3

Congratulations for this superb video, once again, I recommend it to everyone, a treat, I love it because you make good use of all the possibilities of the RAFALE, thank you again. No official date we are still waiting a bit on the side of the HUD and suddenly we are still thinking about some improvements. Bravo pour cette superbe vidéo, une fois de plus, je l'a conseille à tous le monde un régal j'adore parce que tu exploites bien toutes les possibilités du RAFALE merci encore.

Kazumawa94 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Bonsoir Patrick , ok on va resté patient , Merci a toi et a Eric pour votre confiance , et votre travail
Beldin Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Thanks for the heads up on the parking spots. I'm just about done with the take off side of things. As for landing and parking what I'm planning will most likely mean that take off from the cats will be disabled. Without elevators I see no way to park that many aircraft without messing with the take off AI. So mission can have take offs at the start and landing at the end. But most likely not both happening during the mission (except maybe a few planes). Sadly I've had ZERO luck with the Mod VTOL aircraft landing on any of the Mod/stock carriers. The Harrier/Tarawa combo works, but no joy with the VSN F-35 vertically landing on anything. Take offs are fine and either stol or vtol depending of load out/weight. But landings......I promise I will at least get the stuff I got for the French carriers posted soon or made available to those interested. 1

Indeed, the location of the catapults on the French carriers forbids simultaneous landings and cats operations. So your plan is absolutely correct. As for the VSTOL aircraft, I had problems landing the Harrier on the L61 a while ago. It would land behind the end of the deck. But I didn't try again since long. Looking forward for your Mod, many thanks for your work
Beldin Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Ok here is a very early version of my NATO Naval Aviation MOD. This is a pre pre pre release of the Charles De Gaulle and Rafale. Many thanks to the Cuesta Brothers Team for their work which inspired this project. My overall goal is to get all (most) of the Nato Naval Mods that are out there working together. This is only lua file updated to allow the AI to launch up to 16 aircraft ( 2 cat 14 ramp) from the deck with no magic spawn ins. I've only tested it with AI and single player but I'm guessing a player should be able to takeoff from the cat position. As for MP I have no clue. Some (much?) assembly required. You'll need the following mods installed to replicate the pictures (aircraft) you want. BACK UP your files and use at your own risk. CDG 2.7.10 Rafale Pack 2.5.6.55960 Super Etendard Pack 2.7.2 VSN_F-35 Military Aircraft Mod Super bug F-18E/F/G Then you must "mod" the Charles de Gaulle by replacing the Charles de Gaulle vide.edm file with the Pour PAUL completement vide.edm file in the orig mod shaped folder. This will clear the deck of the Static E-2 and Rafale. Just rename and replace. Then just replace the lua file for the carrier and aircraft you want. Known issues. nose wheel shuttle/cat alignment is not perfect. what's strange is depending on the parking space it's better sometimes and depending on the aircraft it can be off a lot, but plane will launch. (I can fix it ). Starting position and takeoff order is not based on anything real, just whatever I could get working. Planes should not run through anything but no Air Boss would be happy, but it's a game and it works (?) A few starting spots will pause their taxi for no good reason, then continue on like nothing happened? It only happens with the F-18E for the most part do to it's size but in some cases a plane will stall for 30 seconds to a few minutes. Not really an issue if you stick to the Rafale or Etendard. Deck heck might be off for a few spots so you might see a nose wheel sunk in the deck a bit. etc.... (I'll fix it) Lastly I've only tested with 2 plane groups because of the two cats. 4 plane groups may work fine for ramp starts, I've just not tested. For those brave few, back up your files and enjoy. P.S What's pictured should works, but mixing aircraft and starting positions will have mixed, and in many cases, not working results. Put the E-2 on the cat and get it off the deck first, lol P.S.S. These files will also allow the Rafale and Etendard to AI takeoff from the USN CVN-7x and the CV-59 I believe all 16/12 starting slot will work on the American carriers. Will post Clemenceau later today C2A_Greyhound.lua ETENDARD_IV.lua Rafale_M.lua Rafale_M_NOUNOU.lua SEM.lua VSN_F35C.lua Charles de Gaulle vide.lua Edited January 19, 2023 by Beldin update text 1
