Peter, have you tried taxiing around that area of the flight deck to see if you can replicate the crash? Oh and what aircraft are you getting it in?
It's not something that happened to me during testing but I may have missed it!

**GBrutus** · December 8th, 2009, 08:07

Looks fantastic!

Is Acceleration a must for carriers? I'm still running SP2...

**SkippyBing** · December 8th, 2009, 08:42

GBrutus,

The ship should show up and follow AI tracks etc without Acceleration, it should also still have a landable deck as that's not an Acceleration specific modelling thing. You just won't get working arrestor gear or catapults, having said that I did manage to land a Swordfish on her last night without using the tailhook just to see if it'd work. Apparently in the 'Fish they were only used by those of a nervous disposition initially!

**Flyboy208** · December 8th, 2009, 08:45

I don't have Microsoft Word installed anymore on my PC, so I cannot view the readme. Is this carrier in a certain location, or can it be placed anywhere like the Nimitz addon?

Thanks, SkippyBing. May I ask where you got the Swordfish?

***noddy*** · December 8th, 2009, 09:28

Works great in AIcarriers as well.

Ahh, I must start doing read mes in HTML!! There are two routes, or you can use AI Carriers to place it anywhere.

Victorious passes South of Gibraltar around Midnight Monday, an included saved flight places the default Cessna on the flight deck early on Tuesday morning with the ship heading East towards Malta.<o

></o

>
The second route has Victorious leaving Scapa Flow at 1200 Monday heading towards Iceland. She departs from a Fjord North of Reykjavik at 1000 Wednesday for the return journey. The round trip is repeated again later in the week leaving Scapa Flow at 0200 Friday morning, arriving Iceland 1530 on Saturday before departing again at 1800 to arrive off Scotland at 0930 on Monday.<o

Saved flights are again included, one off the North Coast of Scotland outbound to Iceland and the other departing Hvalfjord for the return journey.

GBrutus, the Swordfish is a WiP building on the mesh Mathias gave me earlier in the year. Hopefully out soonish if I can figure out what some of the randomly placed levers in the cockpit do!

In the AICarrier .cfg add a new line like so

[formation.12]
title=HMS Victorious
unit.0=VEH_Victorious, 0, 0

Of course the number depends on the next one on your sequence

Then in the SimObject boats create a new folder called VEH_Victorious, and copy all the textures from the original Victorious in to this.

Once you have done that change the .cfg in the new folder to this

[fltsim.0]
title=VEH_Victorious
model=
texture=
[General]
category=Boat
[contact_points]
static_pitch=0.0 //degrees, pitch when at rest on the ground (+=Up, -=Dn)
static_cg_height=0.0 //feet, altitude of CG when at rest on the ground
[DesignSpecs]
max_speed_mph = 50
acceleration_constants = 0.5, 0.4 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max acceleration (Gs)
deceleration_constants = 0.3, 0.3 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max acceleration (Gs)
SternPosition = 90
[Effects]
wake = fx_wake_xl

**SkippyBing** · December 8th, 2009, 09:57

Noddy,

I think you can just change

unit.0=VEH_Victorious, 0, 0

to

unit.0=Victorious_1940

without any adverse affects and then you don't have to copy the folder.
