OK, so what’s it for…???

[rkk01]

OK, somewhat tongue in cheek, and there is no denying the eye candy…

Do you need to spend a stack of time in the ME just to get a nice looking mobile runway to fly to / from??

Yes ... but you can save your setup as a Static Template, so that on remaining missions you can have the equipped carrier ready with two clicks:

As Rudel_chw stated you can save Templates.

I have several for each map, and different deck configs that i lovely spent hours and days creating and i can use them with any new scenario with a click.

You can always keep adding/removing stuff from the deck in your Template and save it with a new config or creating a new Template.

I even use a little script so i can remove statics of the deck while in mission, like the Hornets in the Fantail in the pic, so when i RTB i could land. It all comes to imagination of each one of us.

Like your answers very much.

I hope after ready room and air boss station OP's question will be answered for good.

I love the deck crew in VR. My small investment in the SC has payed off already and will get even better in the future imho.

Nice Deck you have there. Very believable and balanced.

Thank you.

Although there are always details that i correct afterwards. I try also to be functional and sometimes i need to re-arrange or remove statics if i want to use AI in a mission in a way that they don´t get blocked while taxing (a pain in the a** to be honest).

I find carrier arrangments somewhat akin to the game "kerplunk". more something even a smidge and all hell breaks loose. I only wish more statics had chocks and covers for the "stored" renditions. Trying to place the little objects within a lua is a frustrating and time consuming experience.  Great job anyhow.

I would without any problem but the issue is, i use a lot of mods and you need them to use the template.... But after lunch let me see if i can give you a template of my carrier without too many mods (i will try to list them for you). What maps do you own? so i can see if i have a carrier Template of a map that you own.

Don´t be. I would share with no prob.

As i said earlier, the problem i use a lot of mods and some scripts for clearing the deck when needed for me but i can work out my templates a little so i can share, or, they can be functional to you because sometimes i saturate my deck at my own personal choice and that may not work for you or it can lower your fps. I will try to put in a Google Drive link with the mods i use for the carrier so it can be easy for you to just download and use. I just need you to tell me what maps do you own so i can work on a Template for you.

I will also include a darker deck liverie that i use with the Supercarrier.

Redkite has very interesting "dynamic" templates, they include several samples that you can use:

Thank you Fagulha! So I have all the maps and The Navy Desk equipment 1.4a, Highwayman Ed's Navy Mod, the 0.9.6 VPC airfield equipment mods which I use on the carriers. Dont worry about FPS, I bank a lot of things for the future. Scripts based on RedKites I use along with some Moose based stuff like the SAR helo. Hope that helps. 

And thanks again!

That´s good. If there is a mod on the template that you don´t have it will not load but it tell which mod is missing, then you tell me and i share with you. Give me just sometime to work things out and i will share here the link for you.

- Here you have 2 templates, one for Syria and one for Persian Gulf. You can work from here at your will and needs. Play with the statics so you can start from different places on deck. I added 5MC sound to the templates but you can remove it if you wish etc

The Hornets in the fantail in one of the Templates are set to disappear after 1000 secs, but you can go to triggers and change that or delete them.

Beware, in one of the Templates i placed crew members outside the deck near CAT 4 and use it more when i want to use the CAT 4 myself but if you want/need to have AI aircraft to take off using CAT 4 you must remove them otherwise the AI aircraft can´t take off from CAT 4 due the statics (Although the statics are outside the deck, it´s a DCS thing).

- There is a folder of Liveries and inside you´ll find folders for each CVN, just place them in your savedgames\liveries folder and you can use these liveries in the Supercarrier (one of them says "If you can read this add power" near the Roundown as in real life).

Any mod missing for load the Template say so.

Hope you enjoy, they´re not perfect, i just tried to give balance because the ones i use are for specific tasks sometimes due AI aircraft limitations while taxing.

It appears somthing is missing - trouble is I dont know what. It appears DCS will happily load a static template with the missing items not included but wont allow a mission to be saved or the template to be resaved with out them. helpfully it doesnt tell me what items are missing!

This is what I have, all have been downloaded in the past week:

Deck Equipment 1.4a

Grumman EA6B Prowler

Military Aircraft Mod

VPC airfield eqiupment 0.9.6 

Highwayman Eds Navy Equipment

Warning Signs

Ratos and Cowboys HH60 and SH60 mods

 

Any ideas? Could it be a cargo item~? Sorry to be a PITA - if its gonna be a problem please dont put yourself out. I have already a great start with the template from what I can see in the mission editor and can take a screen print for reference.

Yes probably a missing mod (i use a couple more mods). I´m going to see if i can figure what mods are included and post a new link in Google Drive.

 

EDIT: add this 2 mods and see if it works.

Hey!

You're welcome. In my point of view the templates are not anything special, i think that is always missing more things. If you have trouble like Boosterdog did because you don't have the necessary mods for the templates say so and i try to help. 

After lunch I'm going to put another Template on the Google Drive link, can't recall for which map is but i will edit this post and tell so. So pay attention to this post because i will edit with the link.

 

EDIT: Hey @Boosterdog and @Kanstihere´s the Google Drive link with 2 new Templates for the Mariana Islands, just beware that "CVN-75 V1.0" Template was not created by me, it was from other user (that i can´t recall who he was) who shared like me but i think it was cool too and added to the folder. Mine is "New Template" then you can modify and save with a name that you choose (although both in Load Static Template menu appear as CVN-75). Enjoy.

Excellent, thank you!
Syria and Persian Gulf is also fine with me. I'll try to copy the template to another map (I saw that in a video recently, I'll give it a try).

@Rudel_chw
Thanks for the hint. I know Redkites awesome (!) "dynamic" templates. But I was to lazy to adjust them to my taste and I had "floating" aircrafts in Multiplayer (if I remember correct).
