NEW Charles de Gaulle 2022 Version 003 for 2.7.14 by Cuesta brothers industrie

[RWC]

That's why you're my favorite top 3 modder from DCS ! You make things happened !

Respect to you, my friend.

I have also put out my second request, to CH and now to you. 

These are vital to the CDG, in fact.

The EC725 Cougar (now called Airbus Helicopter H225M) and the AS-532UL Cougar (Eurocopter).

These are such great models !

I just have problems uploading pictures these days on DCS  (1 file would exceed the total allowed size of 1.537kB, and was skipped)

Maybe you could take a look at them online and see if there ARE any descent models out there to work with. I am positive there are many waiting for these beauties out there.

Thanks a million !

Updating to DCS 2.9.7.58923 now. As long as that doesn't break anything I should have CDG posted today

Ok I'm happy to present the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle by the Cuesta brothers, Version 3.0

All asset of this mod belong to their original creators/owners;

Source code by Cuesta brothers, Admiral189, Currenthill, cao990, Marroux, toan, and I'm sure I'm forgetting others. Thanks for all your work.

Known issues (let's get these out of the way)

You MUST have Admiral189's Normandie Frigate mod installed. (needed for Aster15 model)

While a nice model there are a few issues I can not fix but they are minor.

Model only has 2 gun mounts. It should be 8 or 3 depending on year/fit

Model has 16 extra VLS tubes. It should be 4x8 cell. Model has 6x8

Minor glitches with rught side VLS hatch animations

A few of the static deck crew may get run over by an aircraft. (causes no damage)

Take off, taxi and landing script is (always will be) a WIP. Currently only the Rafale tested for ramp start/taxi. (F/A-18 will be added next)

Catapult alignment is off for a few planes from certain spawn points. I will work to fix this.

A new bug I've never noticed before. Anti ship missiles sometimes pass through the ship while others hit depending on the angle.

LSO view is no longer working, I have no idea why Hopefully I did something stupid and changed my key command

Wanting to keep the ship as close to "spec" as possible I ran into some issues with the way the model is configured.

My initial attempts to remove/disable the extra missile tubes resulted in the hatches defaulting to their open position in game

So that ship got a little weapons upgrade that can easily be ignored (in most cases) if total accuracy is your thing.

The 16 extra tubes are loaded with the new MdCN land attack cruise missile. This keeps the hatches closed (if not fired) and if you do not give the ship a fire order in ME they should not fire. Note, If the CDG is in a group that is given a "fire at point order" they may fire.

And I'm sure I've missed some other stuff so just PM with any issues or conflicts

Now the specs

Umm, glad I could help. And yes they are important 

[Hawkeye60]

LMAO!

Sometimes translations get lost!

This has to be the best one so far!

It was supposed to read,

"les postes de combat sont occupés"

The battle stations are armed!

hi guys

   ran into a problem with the CDG & Currenthills new UK pack  the logs are saying there is a sensor that is causing a CTD on startup if I remove one or the other it starts fine.

[LACMenjoyer]

Anyone else having trouble getting Rafale’s all jammed up on the CDG?

I did. But when I changed them to flights of 2 aircraft it solved itself just fine. Give that a try?

[McFly29]

Further to the jammed Rafale issue. Is anyone finding that AI Rafale aren’t firing missiles beyond 15-20nm? I don’t know if it’s an issue I’ve got with my DCS or if it’s because when I fly the Rafale it doesn’t give me a RMax, NE and RMin on the hud when locked on?

I was able to get CDG back in service it seems to be the weapon systems that are causing the issue. So I nurtured the CDG's protective screen as it uses the Type 45's missiles, she better have escorts!! btw I do not see the issue of the birds getting stuck on take-off.. 

[Sagal]

With latest CDG v3.0, and Rafale-M from fr3D, the 2nd aircraft controlled by AI from a package of 2 is not taking off from a created mission (No problem with Roosevelt carrier). I even tried to put it in runway 1 and me in runway 2 with no results. Is it a bug? Note: as recommended I have as well Admiral189's Normandie Frigate.

Any known MP server  implements this ship  coop with other Carriers ?

[Dargaard01]

Hello, I have a question: Is it possible to land with the F/A-18 on the Charles de Gaulle? So far I have not succeeded in hooking into the arrestor wire. Am I doing something wrong or is it simply not possible?
