Lylian Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Hello, I'm new in DCS World and I would like to take off from a Carrier but when I try, it looks like it's impossible, only AI can. I don't have the Supercarrier mod because of the price and I'm on the lastest version. So can I take off from a Carrier without the Supercarrier mod ? And if yes, how ? Thank you !
NeedzWD40 Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 I'd put that along the lines of an EULA violation. You can however use the CVN-74 Stennis, CV-59 Forrestal, and old Kuznetsov for free as part of the base game, though.
Lylian Posted May 15, 2023 Author Posted May 15, 2023 Ok, so I need the Supercarrier DLC if I want to take off from a carrier ?
NeedzWD40 Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 No, you only need the Supercarrier if you want to takeoff and land from the CVN-71, 72, 73, and 75.
Solution seabat Posted May 16, 2023 Solution Posted May 16, 2023 Lylian, You can use the two carriers mentioned above that are part of DCS however the Supercarrier Mod has additional features that make carrier operations more immersive. You will also need one of the carrier based aircraft mods to perform launches and landings similar to real life such as the F-18 Hornet. As you say you are new and may not want to make investments until you learn more about DCS there are a lot of user mods that are free and are also carrier operation suitable. The leading user mod is the Community A4 Skyhawk mod. There is also a T-45 trainer aircraft which is also free. Both are detailed and user flyable. VSN also has a user flyable F4B Phantom mod which is free and challenging. The list goes on from there however all are free. The list for AI only mods is even larger. For carriers that allow you to land and launch you can also download free user mods. Cuesta Brothers has two carriers, the Charles De Gaul and the Clemenceau (Eric and Patrick, sorry if I mis-spelled the ship names). I use the Clemenceau the most as there are alot of add ons that enhance it and it is a close approximation to an updated Essex class boat. You can search the forums by typing in a key word based on what I wrote above and you should be able to find links to the downloads. All are slightly different in key commands so read the READ ME file for instructions, look up the assorted manuals that others have published, and also read through the posts to find answers to bugs, challenges, updates, and tips. I am wiling to bet any questions you come up with have been asked, disected, and resolved already. seabat 2
Beldin Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) I will be releasing the Ford Class Carrier MOD soon. In early beta testing now. This will include all planned ships of the Ford Class. CVN-78 Ford, CVN-79 Kennedy, CVN-80 Enterprise and CVN-81 Miller. Catapults and landing are working for Human pilot now BUT catapult launch is violent and you may suffer back injury from just the shaking on the screen But they will toss you and the aircraft skyward . No other human pilot features have been tested yet (radio, MP, etc..) but we will add as many as possible. There is a new thread started here for the MOD. Hoping to have an early version released here soon. Also check the Cuesta Brothers threads as I have posted updates for Clemenceau and Charles De Gaulle there to improve AI functionality. Welcome to DCS and the crazy wonderful MOD community Edited May 18, 2023 by Beldin 3
