Hawkeye60 Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Parking code is my nemesis! I have figured out most other code stuff. But this carrier code is mind boggling! Good luck! I suggest you comment the lua once, and if, you figure out what each line, and code data means. This will help all carrier creators in the future.

For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

toan Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Hi, Here's the best I can do. Eight A-4 landing correctly, and parked correctly the 1st one parked has already despawned on the last screen below , while the first 2 parked have despawned on the top screen. The 8th aircraft landing goes then to the 1st defined parking slot on the right, not shown here... Merry Christmas to All ! Edited December 24, 2023 by toan 1 1

Not that I didn't try to get the Phantom going ... Hi TeTeT, attached is my EssexRunwaysAndRoutes.lua file. I've modified the data and coordinates of the parking slots 5 to 8, which results in the screenhots shown in my previous post. TeTeT, are you aware of any other type of aircraft than the A-4 that have been operating on the Essex class carriers ? Thanks EssexRunwaysAndRoutes.lua Edited December 24, 2023 by toan 1 1
Hawkeye60 Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 @toan May I copy this lua for a carrier I am creating? Credit will be given, if I end up using it, or parts of it.

Well, I'm not the author of this LUA file, I just modified it to my personal taste. Credit goes to its author, mentioned at the top of the file : "kudos Citizen". Concerning helicopters, yes I guess they were used onboard the CV-31, but I don't know which type. Huey, I guess ? 1

Citizen Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 I think it's a mighty stretch to credit me at this point - there's been much work done on it since I futzed with it! 2

Hawkeye60 Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 I have this one as well. It is a low poly model thou. A Pedro model, used with his permission. But, with @TeTeT permission, I can post a link in this thread of that old one. If yes, I will take a look at it first for some fixes and/or corrections. I do not think I added the hook connectors to it. The other one is much better!. @Spino was going to do most the lua work, and weapons. But still a ways off before she is forums ready. 2 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

The new one is highly detailed. The FC3 F-15 cockpit could be used with a bit of lua and file work. If anyone does this, send me a PM. I can add arg 114 to the aircraft cockpit area for this purpose.
