Thread: So, I just discoverd Carriers! CVT-16?

    Just a generic angled deck/cleared deck Essex class carrier would do the job for many!

    AND - others here have found a way to add a "deck park" of aircraft on the deck by making and adding models you can choose to enable/disable in the sim.cfg.

    Thanks Gary for your consideration.

    Line up your nosewheel with the exact start of the catapult track to engage the launch bar with the catapult

    Thank you so much for doing this, I've been looking for this ship for a few years now. My ground school instructor did his initial CQ on this boat, and I have wanted to see this in the sim for awhile now.

    Recos for best straight-deck WW2/Korea carriers to practice with my Corsair, Helldiver, and F9F?

    (That hopefully work in P3D 4.4.)

    Thanks!

    Have you tried searching right here (FSX ships > Essex)? Most of these are FSX native and work in P3D4. Great for WWII/Korea warbird carrier ops indeed!

    I got it working in P3Dv4.4, did a bunch of traps with it.

    Generic Essex

    No there’s no easy way to remove the buckeyes without recompiling the model. Let me see how long it would take to do a one off special for you with a slightly updated model.





    Hi Gary,


    Just checking back to see if it is possible to recompile the model to remove the trainers without too much time or trouble?

    Thanks and regards,

    Hello Gary,

    I just wanted to give you a quick shout out and THANK YOU for this awesome boat. I personally love the T-2s, and it's become my default USN CQ boat. It spans a few decades' worth of a training vessel, and as is, is perfect for my 70s-90s USN period. For 90s+ period USN CQ, I have Fernandez's T-45 configured Nimitz, so that's all nicely covered.

    Of course, if it could be repurposed into other Essex carriers, with other deck combinations, that's up to your kind graces.

    Just know that it has been, and remains, a very valuable freeware gift.

    Thanks very much!

    Hay Expat - Sorry I totally forgot that I said i'd remove the trainers. Tried a quick and dirty method tonight without much success as the T-2 canopy glass is tied to the bridge and Tilly crane glass so if I remove one I remove them all. I've got some free time on Thursday i'll rebuild the model and drop you a PM when it's ready

    Gary - that is GORGEOUS!

    Is that a whole new model? Whatever you have planned for that, I’ll happily enjoy. All your other USN and RN boats have a special place in my “port”.

    Whole new model. To be clear it’s not my mesh but subject to authors approval (and credit) i’m dragging it kicking and screaming into fsx and plan to have all the SCB-125s with different deck configurations.

    Most excellent news! I’ll be keeping an eye out.

    Together with Dean’s RF-8 in the works, it’s shaping up to be a great 2019...

    I've got my Stoof ready as soon as you are. We will be able to get empty deck config too?

    Echoing all the other comments (Yay!.... Yay!.... Yay!... )

    Thanks so much!!

    (though I must say I also was happy with the T-2's on the deck )

    Is there any news for that model ? Looking for a good base for CV-12 Hornet. This one would be fantastic

    I have also recently discovered carriers and have been downloading a collection of them created by SWS, FlyingStations, RFN, Yanco and others. One thing I have been looking for is some information on the different carriers typical escorts and the formations they would take while at sea, does anybody know where I could find such information?

    I've got a Bonhomme Richard model with textures but I can't very well edit them to CVA / AVT-16.

    Where is your model from?

    Same model, for which I am checking and seeking permission for FSX. So no-I don’t have Lexington textures from the several PM requests you’ve sent.

    No-I cannot create any. I would suggest if you’re using the same model you try to produce the textures you are looking for or ask on the sas forum (as I am)

    cheers

    That is NOT for FSX or P3DvX

    I am a member of SAS1946. SAS1946 is an extensively modded IL2 platform and is tremendous if you love IL2. Those guys are serious combat flyers and have spent 1000's of hours modding it. You can log in at the link he gave above and see what it is all about. It is NOT compatible with any of our 3 platforms though so that "Bonnie Dick" cannot be converted to use in FSX or P3D and certainly not X-plane to my knowledge though from Gary's comment above he may know something I don't being much more experienced in that than I am. I have been a member of SAS1946 (though haven't visited them until today for a while) for over 9 years since the early years of IL2 way before FSX@War OR DCS.

    Gary:

    Sorry for the several PMs... I didn’t know if they were sending. Found out my account wasn’t activated. Apologies.

    I got the model from Karla on the sas1946 site. After telling her what I was doing, she even sent me the original Blender file! I thought that was cool of her! The model on the site is for IL2 but they’ve a converter to make it a OBJ file.

    Karla also sent me the HQ textures for Bonnie Dick. I’ve tried modding the flight deck and island textures to Lexington (as she, Bonhomme Richard, and Shangri-La were converted to SCB-125 at the same time, so they share the same hull and islands) and my efforts just don’t look good to me (my changes stand out like crazy). I saw the nice quality work here so I thought I would ask to see if someone had the Lexington textures I could use (with permissions, of course).
