I'll go with Aaron's suggestion if possible.

 

3 versions.

We do appreciate your hard work Tom

[SVKSniper]

Tom i send you screen with little errors....but realy nice...gw:thumbup::thumbup:

[crazyeddie]

Brilliant, works in DCS A0C as well but the aircraft shadows are showing up under the ship on the sea surface and the aircraft will not park up after they disengage from the hook, I believe that is a known issue in A10C.

 

She is gorgeous Tom.

is there a way to implement steam cat effects to your model?

[ReaperLV]

Got it working. Have a little fps drop, but model is awesome!

Tom if you don't want to make 2/3 version then my suggestion is:

You should add Argument for clean/full flightdeck.

4xmpl:

Choose an Argument No. for ArgVisibilityNodes, (from Arg 31 to Arg 56) and add value 0.0 for clean deck, value 0.05 for only 1 aircraft on deck, value 0.1 for two aircrafts and so on...value 0.7 for all aircrafts and

some crew...and so on...and value 1.0 for fully loaded flightdeck with aircrafts and crew.

Or different arguments for crew and for aircrafts.

 

Please choose other arguments for Building Tractor/Crane Tractor movements.

 

I hope you will make/add rotating radars too (with Arg1, Arg2, Arg3), four moving elevators and catapult shuttles too. If yor are really fanatic you can make moving anchors also. :D

 

Making connectors onto shuttles subserve to add nice/real steam (smoke) effect near the moving shuttle.

Best solution is: 2 "fixed to deck" connectors @ front and back end of the track, and the moving shuttle-connector for each catapult/track.

Connectors are keys !

Maybe these connectors will solve the "sliding air/rotorcraft on deck" bug too while the ship is riding on waves.

 

BTW: Catapult Track 1 has too much angle. It must be paralel with the edge of the ship deck. (front-right side/edge)

Therefore Jet Blast Deflector 1 is on wrong place too. Must be closer to JBD2.

 

If...

...you know...

...just drop a PM to me.

 

 

Catapult Track angle same as on CVN-77 and CVN-78 !

Thank you guys- Great, it works.

 

About the chancings: I have not much time. Do I should upload the 3ds files to you, HungaroJET? So you can change that things easyly...

[Jona33]

How do you install this. Surely there is a change in lua that needs to be changed somewhere.

[213]

it looks really good. and i appreciate the skillful economizing of details.

[snowbird2]

"bout the changes: I have not much time. Do I should upload the 3ds files to you, HungaroJET? So you can change that things easily..."

 

Good answer Tom.

Great work.

[elchacal]

Very nice!

[vanir]

Superb work Tom, tremendous attention to detail, I'm stunned by the quality when at the same time you are always making sure your models are playable with minimum FPS hit. This one looks almost photo-realistic in the DCS engine.

 

It always impresses me how many man-hours these models take to finalise and that you are still willing, and happy to do them.

I am also very thankful that a version will go into FC2 as I only have a slow single core computer and don't have DCS for that reason. FC2 plays very well though, and will look fantastic with this model.

 

Thankyou for the hard work Tom. It is very kind of you.

An idle thought, if you do create more than 1 version of this wonderful carrier how easy would it be to change the deck paint file name so that it is different for each version.

 

File: CVN-77_DECK.bmp

 

That way we could create different versions of the CVN to put in the game, by simply replacing the subs or one of the other ships with the different carrier models. It does work, I have done it, (although the carriers do not do everything it should properly) at least we could have some different eye candy in game at long last.

 

I am working on another version of your beautiful deck, to include texture for the hole where the blast plates lifts up and a slight change to the deck centre line and warning lines.

Hi,

 

thank you so much guys! Thanks- It is wonderfull to work for a community just like in here. So well I sent the 3Ds datas to Grandsurf. He will be able to set real lights and upgrade some textures. It couls be possible that he can set some new objects on the carrier and do some corrections. However- CrazyEddi: I like that "old" style on the flight deck. It looks nice! Do you have Photoshop? If it will be helpfull I can upload the Templates for the carrier textures.

 

Best regards,

Tom

Tomcatz, sorry for asking twice but how do you install this. I get in Carrier as Mod with the files in shapes and Temp textures. Go to BS2 and search for shapes folder and copy the files over, then I search for temptextures and copy the bmp/tga files to BS2/Bazar/Temp textures. Open the game and it isn't there.

[crazyeddie]

Tom. I use an old system called Photo Impact 10, I don't know if the templates would work on it but willing to try.

[aaron886]

One suggestion on that deck texture... the tie-down points are gigantic. Should be much smaller/less prominent. :)

Copy the three files (of the zip in the "shapes") in the folder "shapes" of your simulator. Do not forget to rename the file "vinson.edm"!

 

I hope you might help.

PD. Sorry for my english ... I'm Spanish?!

[Jona33]

Nope didn't work. (your english is fine).
