thanks for the HU, Navy Chief! and thank you to Dino for this beautiful 'copter carrier !! beauty!

[Dino Cattaneo]

...not just 'copters!!!

You are welcome guys!

As a side note, I have updated the files to vesion 0.11 to (hopefully) get rid of a small bug with AICarriers...

[Sundog]

Holy@%#^! I didn't see this coming. Nice one Dino, I love surprises like this.

[PhantomP]

Thanks Dino for this great 4th of July gift.

Keep up your good work...

Thank you

every time I try to land the F35 on the deck - no matter how carefully - I snap the nose gear off and punch a hole in the deck...so for me - it's a copter carrier lol.

Beautiful workmanship as usual, Dino - thank you again for making Naval aviation FUN in FSX !

[Victory103]

BZ Dino as we said in the Navy! Nice job on this and great idea to have a home for your -35! Guess I'll hangar your EF2000/Tiffy for now in P3D to test.

Check sim.cfg file to see how entries are listed. (V_1 different from V_11)
Place one of these formations into any AICarriers *.cfg file.
You will have all 3 LHA versions side by side.

Version 1

[formation.xx] <<<<<<<<< Change number
title=LHA-6_Collection
unit.0=USS America LHA-6 (empty deck), 0, 0
unit.1=USS America LHA-6 (F-35 operations),150, 0
unit.2=USS America LHA-6 (MV-22 operations),-150, 0

Version 1.1

[formation.xx] <<<<<<<<< Change number
title=LHA-6_Collection
unit.0=USS America LHA-6 empty deck, 0, 0
unit.1=USS America LHA-6 F-35 operations,150, 0
unit.2=UUSS America LHA-6 MV-22 operations,-150, 0

Good evening Seahawk72s,

-Thanks a lot for your help!
However it seems that I have a problem !!!






A solution can be?
Than you!

It looks like you have WWII carrier in your formation file, but without the model textures, just the parked aircraft.

[rcbarend]

Thanks Dino,

Works great in FSX-Accel with the F35B/MV22B and AICarriers.

Those Corsairs are the deck-park units from YoYo's USS Essex CV-9 package. Check your .cfg file in AICarriers, I think you have some erroneous entries in your LHA-6 formation.

Is that nose-gear problem with a F35-B landing ?
And if so: is it with a landing in SHORT (not VERTICAL) landing on a moving ship ?

Not a bad start to the weekend, really wasn't expecting ships from Dino so very pleasant surprise.

Rob

on a moving ship - non-arrested - SHORT - yes the B (I think)

[alain0568]

Hello TARPSBird,

-Probleme solved, it was a problem on USS Essex CV-9 in AIcarrier.cfg!
Thanks for the help!

Just a note for those that collect AI boats for use in AICarriers.NET: It's a bad idea to add formations to the AICarriers.cfg that comes with the basic package. If you collect formations of ships, helicopter sling loads, etc etc, like I do, use the conf.d folder, and make separate .cfg files for ship (or whatever) formations you want to see. It's also a very good idea to make a sub-folder under the conf.d folder to hold all your different .cfg files. That way, you can swap the ships and formations you desire to utilize that particular episode in and out. Store all your individual .cfg files in the sub-folder. I call mine BAXX, but you can call it whatever you want.
The reason for this is that if you keep adding formations into the original AICarriers.cfg file, you'll wind up with a lot of menu pages when you hit SHFT+J. Then you'll have to sit and search through the menu pages to find the formation you want to use that flight. If you have the individual .cfg for each set of formations, like for example a few different LHA-6 formations, with different escorts, sling loads for vertrep ops, or whatever, you can then place that particular .cfg file into the conf.d folder, start up AICarriers, and away you go. Only a few, or one or two, pages to search through. All your other sets of ship formations, like the CV9 Enterprise carrier with various escorts, for example, or the Nimitz v2, are sitting in your sub-folder, out of the way, but readily accessable, for use when you desire.
Doing it this way would have prevented the cross-over problem you experienced, as well. No way to accidentally mix up the formations if they are in entirely separate .cfg files, stashed away where the program can't see them.

Have fun all!

That would explain it.
The way that the STOVL function is implemented, makes the touch-down attitude very critical on a short-landing at 30 - 100 Knots. (you should be slightly pitched up).

A way to make it less critical: "strengthen" the nosegear in the aircraft.cfg.
In the contact-point section you see (depending on F35B version you use) something like:
point.0=1, -18.00, 0.00, -6.65, 1000, etc.
Change the "1000" to "2000" or so.
