Adalla Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Hi all, This is my first ever user content in DCS and like 4th post on this forum In the search for making DCS carriers "come to life" I came across the excellent LUA templates from RedKite (link to his original video: I set out to create my own templates based on his LUA files, and using the Radio command to trigger different deck layouts. Posted an initial video on YT and folks asked if I could upload the templates to User Files so I did (first time ever) and made a video explaining how to use the templates I customized. I will make another video in future perhaps on how I customized them. The templates I made are accessed through the F10 menu. They are divided into "Launch", "Flex", "Recovery", "Locked" and "Clear". Launch allows for launch only, as the Fantail of the carrier is blocked as well as the landing area. Flex allows simultaneous recovery and launch operations. Recovery only allows recovery or launching from Cats 3 and 4, as the bow of the ship is full of parked aircraft. Locked is everything blocked except Cat 3 and 4, including spawn points. Clear is a clear deck except for some statics near the island (Hummer Hole and Junkyard). The following Mods will be required for these templates: - Military Aircraft Mod (for C2 Greyhound) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307071/ - VSN F18F Superhornet mod - S-70B Seahawk (https://filehorst.de/folder.php?key=duuqITUb) Link to the User Files for download: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3330966/ Link to the How to Use video: https://youtu.be/rZEp81ugDmE Hope you all enjoy, feedback for future improvements is welcome.

RWC Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 Hi Adalla m8 Absolutely love the deck templates and using them frequently, great job ! Would love to see a more dynamic template with actual AI taking off/ landing in combination with the templates, instead of only statics (if it is even possible). A known problem is ofcourse that we cannot select a active CAT and deactivate a CAT. At the moment when i use these templates, and have support planes taking off, they tend to use the blocked CAT's, and either crash of fly right thrue the statics. If THIS could be made possible somehow it would REALLY make the SC dynamic ! Maybe you can find a solution ... RWC

Note, they were meant for Multiplayer use only. Have not been tested with AI and probably would not work unless its one of the layouts with more free space. There was some efforts in modifying the RunwaysAndRoutes.lua file for the carrier per this thread and some videos where folks managed to get AI to use custom spawns, routes and parking. But seems that thread has not seen any updates since 2021. 1
