The Stennis (and the Supercarriers) do not have nearly enough to launch a large strike package. In terms of strike package, sure. Even though the SC technically allows for 16 jets. Kinda silly though, since it is technicaly possible. Edited July 15, 2021 by Skysurfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reccelow Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I was able to add the animated deck crew from my SC module to the Stennis. It was some lau file editing, mainly just paths, and copying files to saved games locations, etc. A couple builds ago I was fooling around with a CVN-70 mod from the Stennis and found out the crew can be added. I was able to get Cats 1, 2 and 3 working correctly but 4 was buggy, only the AI could use it. When the Forrestal gets out I'll revisit that to see if it will still work. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and teh LSO and breifing spost yeah, but eye candy wise I mean)... ED was start making your Carrier Crew on 2015-6, before HB put your pics on 2017.

Reccelow Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Its been over a year but I remember how I got started : If you look into the files in this folder in your DCS install ..\Mods\USS_Nimitz\Database In any of the supercarrier files (USS_CVN_71.lau for example...) there is a line at the bottom "GT.carrier_crew_config_name = './CoreMods/tech/USS_Nimitz/scripts/GroundCrew.lua';" This got me looking into the supercarrier scripts subfolder and found if I copied the same folders and structure to the Stennis, edited the Stennis .lau's ....that was how I got going. Its fairly easy once you start experimenting. I dont know any coding, so I just cut and pasted the needed lines that pointed to the subfolders for the crew and animations. However placement of the actual crew on the deck needs lots of adjustment. And I never could get cat 4 working so eventually I found it was much easier to edit the island number on the Roosevelt to the Vinson "70". That only took a few hours after I figured out how to do some basic photoshop. Hope that helps. If the Forrestal does make it out, I will see if its possible to do it on that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
