Mesha44 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 With the new Marianas map I have been doing some research on the battle for Saipan. I came across this interesting bit. "This day (D+7) was also marked by the arrival of P-47 Thunderbolts of the 19th Fighter Squadron, U.S. Army Air Forces, which landed at Aslito Field . They had been launched from Navy escort carriers ." The P-47's had also run a CAP mission over the carrier before heading out to Saipan. Source Breaching the Marianas Sadly when I tried to add a P-47 to the deck of the Essex it would jump to any nearby airfield rather than staying on the deck.
JD Swann Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Put this file in ...\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\Carrier Based Aircraft\ entry.lua It allows you to define aircraft as carrier capable. You can edit it to add or remove aircraft of you choosing. 1
Mesha44 Posted June 25 Author Posted June 25 Thanks, that is great. Since it a mod I am assuming anyone in a multiplayer scenario will need it.
