Airhunter Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Speaking off is there a way of picking the spawn location? Does the placed airraft slot order matter? I remember spawning in different spots on the old Stennis. Edited October 21, 2021 by Airhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can block the spawn points with static objects and leave the points you want to use free of them. 1 Modules: F-14A/B | M-2000C | AJS-37 | Mi-24P | F/A-18C | A-10C II | F-16C | UH-1H | F-5E | Mi-8 | FC 3 | AV-8B | A-4E | Gazelle | Ka-50 | Yak-52 | CE2 Maps: Syria | Marianas | NTTR | Persian Gulf | Caucasus Setup: Virpil WarBRD Base & VFX | TM Warthog | Arozzi Velocita Stand | Monstertech Mount | MFG Crosswind | Cougar MFDs | VRInsight Panel | JetSeat 908 | TrackIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stearmandriver Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Curious, does anyone else find the FLOLS hard to see on the Forrestal? I only was able to try one quick look at it, but the ship was steaming north at noon; I just swapped it out for another boat in a carrier training mission and the SC ball is plenty visible in those lighting conditions, but I couldn't really make it out on Forrestal until basically at the ramp. Maybe something odd with shaders on my setup? Other than that, she's beautiful ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the heads-up, believe it or not never noticed it was also "usable"... but it is. ( Thought that in DCS actually only the John C. Stennis and the Forrestal were able to do take-off and landing ops, and the other available Carriers were mere static objects or something... ) I've experimented already, and even without the respective catapult shuttle textures, it is possible to also take-off in the USS Carl Vinson...

The Intruders and Hornets co-existed for a long time before they were finally replaced. The Hornets initially replaced the A-7s, with the last A7s going away just after ODS. So a Hornet/Intruder flight deck is perfect acceptable (unless you're talking about CVW-2's All Grumman Air Wing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel_Thunder Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the deck of the Forestal?
