TeTeT Posted December 25, 2023 Author Posted December 25, 2023 Great work, thanks @Hawkeye60! I've tested the new parking slots. I combined it with some UH-1H flying so it took a fair while. I found two strange things: The helicopter on the deck would constantly move forward a few cm, be it with engine or or off The new parking slot looked great, the second A-4 landed, taxied, was pushed back. And then turned around to face nose over board No idea what that was Unfortunately when the third A-4 in row landed, DCS froze. I was running the MT version, will revert back to ST for more testing. Cheers, TeTeT

Pretty sure F-4's had launch bars. A-4's and F-8's had some kind of slingshot shaped thingy iirc. IDK what happened. It was after I was flying for a bit. Did I do something wrong in the editor? Maybe everything needs to be set up to ignore stuff. I did use time compression at one point. maybe that is what made everything wonky. The F-4 also used a bridle, just like the A-4 and F-8. If I'm not mistaken, the A-6 Intruder was the first plane with a launch bar followed by the A-7 Corsair II. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Hawkeye60 Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 Are those F-9's on the deck with folded wings? "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

seabat Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 Hawkeye, yes it is F-8’s parked on deck. Along with the Seasprite they make the deck properly occupied. Don’t suppose you have a S-2 Tracker or an A-3 Whale at the back of the “ Bottom Drawer” do you? Toan, They are statics. The helo is parked at one of the take off spots I modified in the lua. I made one there, a second about 20 feet farther towards the bow, and a third on the port side deck edge. I am still trying different launch and take off spots for jets and have not tried any adjustments for helo landings. AI A-4’s not being consistent on landing is a challenge. seabat 2
Hawkeye60 Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Sounds like you are making progress. Please continue your edits. Once close, send to me, Toan, and Tet for testing please. We all want this to work correctly. Cheers! 1 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

Hi Seabat, I'll be pleased to test your new helo parking spots, very interesting and realisitc, indeed the last TeTeT update for AI A-4 landing and parking on the CV-31 seems fine. Did you use it ? Enjoy !
TeTeT Posted December 29, 2023 Author Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Some progress on the update front. @seabat has created a new runways and routes script for parking and landing, which fixes the many bolters and wave offs. @Hawkeye60 and @toan are busy with the F-8 model and improvements to it. Here some screens from testing: Enjoy, TeTeT Edited December 29, 2023 by TeTeT removed null 8

toan Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Hi Urbi, Hi All, I wish you all a very Happy New Year ! Urbi : where could we get your Crusader no. 10 livery, if public ? Looks really nice ! Thanks 2
roobarbjapan Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Good day all, I suffer from a DCS crash when the F-8 is in combat as an AI unit. It only happens at the merge and when they a dumping flares. I have a feeling the counter measures may be causing the crash but I cannot confirm it. Can anyone else do a quick check to see if it’s only on my end? Apologies for hijacking the thread, not sure where else to post. vCVW-10 - Now Recruiting - JST

Which F-8 are you using, where is it from? @Urbi same question for you. Wondering if we're doing duplicate work here. Happy New Year, TeTeT

Apologies for hijacking the thread, not sure where else to post. roobarbjapan, Did a quick AI mission two F8 vs two Mig 19, South Atlantic map. Missiles and flares launched but no crash after several runs of the mission. Will check with other types against the Crusader. TeTeT, Urbi may be using the Spino mod from his website. If you look at the leading edge of the wings there is a section missing which was a bug on that particular download. Good thing is his livery will work with the update. seabat 1 2
TeTeT Posted January 1, 2024 Author Posted January 1, 2024 Confirming that no crash happened with 8 MiG-21 vs 2 F-8 and plenty of counter measures in the air. 1

buur Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Have you a picture/map of the flight deck where the spawn points are marked? So that I could deck equipment without blocking the spawn points? 1

So that I could deck equipment without blocking the spawn points? No, we have neither a map nor picture at the moment. But the ramp start positions go back from the two catapults towards the landing zone on the flightdeck, leaving the area before the island free for statics. When landing, the latest version has the park positions moved to the bow of the carrier, e.g. blocking catapult 1 and 2. Again, the area in front of the island is free for statics. I quickly sketched this. Purple are the parking positions after landing, green are the ramp positions before launch: Cheers, TeTeT 2 1
