Hi cimo,
Looks great but I do have one little problem. The radome at the island aft should be gray. Prior to the sinking of the Oriskany it was still visible in the videos. The radome contained the SPN-35 elscan radar used to assist the LSO. I'm kind of picky about this as I was the only person at Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard responsible for overhauling it.

Fantastic :encouragement: Maybe someday you could just change the 34 to a 19 (USS Hancock) or a 31 (USS Bon Homme Richard. That would be nice.
I remember that elevator shown in your video. Use to cycle the aircraft from the aft elevator, taxi thru the hanger bay and go to the forward hanger up to the forward elevator for launch.

Awesome! :encouragement:

Just as a suggestion, here is list of Airwings and their Tail Codes (NP) on the Hancock and then later the Bon Homme Richard. CAG21 was embarked on both ships during the VIet-Nam conflict. CAG 21 disestablished Dec '75

This link will show you the squadron and the aircraft markings. I'd like to see the first two aircraft marking used on the Hancock i.e. from 21 Oct 1964 to 1 Aug 1966.
This chart should help with period correct aircraft and markings if you decide to spot some AI or static Aircraft on the flight deck. Thanks.

I had lost the link to Wings-aviation when my old computer bit the dust. Thank you for supplying it. Are the textures for the airwing in the model or separate textures and will it be possible if you know how to change the aircraft textures in DXTBMP and PaintShopPro to repaint different airwings aircraft aboard at other times? Same question for the future carriers?

Thank you for the reply and the great work. I downloaded Stennis a couple days ago and checked out the aircraft and can see what you say and it will be no problem to modify if and when I feel like it. Looking forward to this download too. :encouragement:

These are so awesome. Great work. If only we had an up-to-date Whale, and Crusader. Lately there seems to be a lot of Vietnam-era interest as far as FSX/P3D is concerned. Or maybe I just noticed it now. It definitely sparked my interest!

One question, maybe two! Where did you get the A-4 and does it come in orange and white?

I usually repaint them myself, for the a-4 use a static model that i had,

[JosefK]

Posting for comments!

[expat]

One problem I have found with the otherwise near perfect Oriskany model is that you can't land the A-3 Whale with crash detection on. There is I think a legacy "crash box" or similar artifact in the model - possibly what was a crash barrier - that the original modeler could not remove that the wide span of the A-3 contacts on trapping. Any chance of the upgraded CV-34 and CV-19 avoiding this? Looking forward to these long wished for models!

Got the O boat (CV34) need the cfg data for AI carriers.

[gray eagle]

Don't know why it is, but when I load your carriers, they all will want to rise up out of the water into the sky. (P3D V3.4) at least for me, don't know about other folks.
To rectify the situation, I have to use ModelConvX and that will stop the boat from flying. Other commercial ships (payware) and most freeware ships - I have no issues what so
ever in P3D V3.4 -

I would like to see if the following areas just above where the screws are (Aft - circled in red) removed please. Also the IFLOLS needs to be repositioned to the right, where I have my red downward arrow.
It looks too far to the left.

If you look at the wake of the real ship, there is no screw effect such as the one I out lined above. ^ Also, notice the location of the IFLOLS below and compare to the one ^.

Heavy 4 (VAH-4) would be a more appropiate choice. They deployed as dets for their entire duration (prior to being re-designated as VAQ-131) and spent much of their time on the "27 charlies" - Tico, Hancock, Bonnie Dick, and Oriskany. My father led Det Golf on the '62 WESTPAC cruise on Oriskany and flew workups on Bonnie Dick and Hancock with Dets Echo and Bravo. He later commanded Heavy 2 deploying on Ranger, Coral Sea and Enterprise, and 123 (the RAG) in 69.

[gp183601]

About the IFLOLS is placed by the simulator, I do not know how to correct the position, sorry

My Oriskany model which you have modified uses the default acceleration IFOLS. The attachpoints and IFOLS positioning are dictated by runway size and deck edge and is really designed for Nimitz sized carriers hence it doesn't align very well to models the size of Oriskany. You've copied the positon I used which is the best you can get when playing around with start and end points. You can move the IFOLS around but it will then impact runway deck lighting (the deck centreline light will start to creep off the end of the deck and into the superstructure when you move the meatball to the right)

I'm sure Lazarus found a workaround when he developed some of the smaller carriers he might be able to advise

Gaz

[lazarus]

About the IFLOLS is placed by the simulator, I do not know how to correct the position, sorry

Take the model into MCX, and start moving the deck start and deck edge distances around in the attached object editor, the IFLOLS is tagged to those. It takes some trial and error, twiddle the numbers, export, into sim, look it over, back into to MCX...it's a bit laborious, as MCX doesn't show the lights. Looks like you'd start with moving the deck edge marker positive X axis off the starboard side. Deck start positive Y moves the lights forward, negative Y moves 'em back.

[Wings of Gold]

Thanks for the work you have put into this much needed 27C model. In addition to the previous comments, the JBD (Jet Blast deflector) model used (from Nimitz?) is much too tall. The pattern on the deck shows the correct height. I also note that the Catapult Officer will properly kneel when ready to launch on the Port side cat - however I have been unable to get him to kneel at all when on the Starboard side cat (even when the cat shot goes through it's complete function).

Side comment: we use calm ocean in FSX and the ship will work up to as high a speed possible during a flight ops cycle (launch or recovery). The wake in these conditions is normally long (nothing to disturb it). Therefore I prefer to use the wake pattern that is available on the Clemenceau/Foch. A shorter and wider ("funnel" shape) give the impression that the ship is not up to speed.

I usually leave the animated parts separately to animate them in 3dmax, possibly change the scale without realizing it and only assemble the whole model when compiling it and I did not realize, I will try to correct this in the next version besides adding nocturnal textures, I already have many pieces modeled and animated on the pc, I could have added other one, in the case of the catapult officer the animation is only for the port side cat, I plan to add one that appears only when using starboard side cat

AHH! - I thought you did something a bit cleverer than that!

:biggrin-new:

I spent several mind numbing and frustrating weeks moving the deck start, end and edge to get the best approximate position which is still on this model. If you try and shrink the deck edge the IFOLS will line up but the deck lighting will be off centre. If you move the start and end points the lighting then doesn't align to the deck edges.

You can try but it won't get much better than where it is now, the deck lights will be off centre and you will wonder why you started in the first place!

:banghead:

Better suggestion is look for an alternative to the default acc IFOLS for a carrier this size (there's a few options I think)

HI,

Appreciate your efforts in this class of carrier. I got to thinking of perhaps a better way to describe those two round water effects just aft of the ship, It looks like two torpedoes are about the
strike the back end. Hopefully, on your next update you would dial that effect out. Thanks, :encouragement:

Testing in P3D v 4.

Boat spawns in AICarriers -- looks good! -- on the sea surface ok below an overhead aircraft.

However, when trying to slew an aircraft onto it the ship goes "poof!" and disappears. Tried a dry land test where you spawn it directly over an aircraft in slew at an airport. The boat appears for micro second and then disappears. Conclusion is that it disappears the minute it comes into contact with an aircraft?

[expat]

New test P3Dv4: Installed deck control gauge and parked a plane at the edge of the sea and spawned the "O" one mile off shore. Ship appeared and then rose up into the sky and out of sight. Doesn't seem to like contact with other surfaces.

how weird, I never saw that behavior, I do not have p3d v4installed to test sorry

[expat]

Well I am sure we will in time get this so its working well in both FSX and PD3 - all versions - as Gary's original and most other FSX native model carriers work perfectly in those formats. Just needs some tweaking and testing. Not an expert on MDX but maybe running the model through it to configure it as a native FSX model - rather than create it initially for P3D might do it?

it was not tested in fsx and i will not post anything specific for fsx because i can not test the model in so many simulators and there are always compatibility problems, for example the hard deck of the elevator, after looking for a solution, no longer appear in p3d in my case, but in p3d v4 appers,

In what format do you need the a-3? I converted this from an old freeware model of FS9, downloading as many polygons as I could, but it is still a big thing, so if you want it for a scenario I would recommend you not to put a very large group or change the LOD of the model, send me a MP

Is anybody willing to convert this beautiful model,and the Stennis to FSX?I could give it a try if,I had some guidance.

Hi,

as I mentioned earlier in this thread the IFOLS cannot be fixed using the current setup as I used the default acceleration gauge which is designed for Nimitz class carriers so it is very difficult to align the start, end and edge attachpoints for one the size of oriskany as to move the IFOLS means the deck centreline lighting end up floating in the sea etc etc. a completely new gauge has too be developed/used.

the second challenge to performing the fixes and releasing is CIMOGT used components from other developers without permission hence the links had to be removed and he can't release any updates as a result without incurring the wrath of original devs. Now, as original dev of oriskany if CIMOGT PMs me I can see if I can help him secure approval from the other developers and upload mods.

Well it's not dead and buried yet. There are options around fixing the meatball, and as for modifying my hull....I'm okay with it.

The use of the vehicles, additional deck crew and hangar textures by RFN, and aircraft by MAIW that have been added are out with my control as they ain't mine....but there are options around that too. (Worst case remove them from the pack to avoid the copyright infringement piece then the hull can be shared with the lift features)

I just need the boyo to get in touch (his PM ability is disabled so I can't contact him)

Yes. Looks like CIMOGT has posted recently here on the Niimitz thread.
