USS Nimitz released

Incredible, fantastic, beautiful. Thank you Javier for your wonderful gift to the sim community. Also thanks for forcing an introduction to aircarriers which I have upto now ignored. So then thanks to Lamont Clark for this amazing ability to place ships.

This has been a quick learning experience this morn, to download a rar file and wonder what to do with it. Found 7-zip on the internet and used it to decompress the rar file. Downloaded aicar2r2 and installed it. Started the ai program, and looked for new carriers in the airplane selection menu. DUH. Hey I was learning. Fortunately I looked up on the FSX menu and realized the ai program might be in the add-ons. An wow. What a carrier.

Can't wait to get back from church to fully investigate all the features.

What an incredible package.

I just did a flight from Jim Dhaenens' NASP using Dino Cattaneo's T-45C , rsgunner's VT-86 texture out to Javier's carrier set up for T-45 quals.

3 different designers who created 3 independent packages that when used together will provide incredible enjoyment for the Naval Aviator junkie.
Thanks for the VT-86 texture rsgunner

BTW trapped the 4 wire and then proceeded to taxi off the deck.

Not good!

Got to do something about securing the rudder peddles so they don't slide all over the floor.

Thanks guys!

After a couple more hours with this addon this morning I am still amazed at how great a package it is. As a modeler myself, what really stands out for me are the textures, they put this in a whole other league, well done !!!!

BTW the seahawk along side is a really nice touch!

Check out Lamont Clarks AI Boat Utility ( the same
author as aicarriers2 ).

That program will let you define sailing routes for ships
using Google Earth and then compile the files into
a traffic BGL file.

Thus, you will always have the ship(s) present, sailing their route(s) on a schedule you define.

Absolute work of art. Very well done.

It's so insanely detailed but very performance friendly. A true masterpiece

It would be great if we could collect a list of sceneries which are containing placements of static carriers so that we can replace them. I already replaced the ugly default carrier in all boat traffic BGLs and for the JustFlight Mil traffic. Works perfectly and i got no performance hit

Thanks again to all involved!

This is an excellent plan.

Need some help please

Downloaded and installed everything no problem. When I go to run the AI carrier program I'm getting all these Java and sim connect errors. Checked Java on my system and I have the latest 1.6

I have the 68-69 cfg in the correct folder in the AIC prog. Anyone any ideas ?

Thanks

And when you get the landing a little bit wrong, look where you end up!

Ensure you have the full install of Java - not just the Run Time Environment. Unless you use the full version, it doesn't work. I just went through exactly the same problem, getting it to work on Vista64. After installing the full version of Java, it worked fine.

**jymp** · June 14th, 2009, 09:56

Checking my Control Panel/Programs folder I see I have only the Java Runtime Environment installed, what would be the link to install the full version, I checked the Java site but see there are several versions, which version/link do we need for the Nimitz to work properly ?

Are you saying this tool can used with a KML route and compilied to a bgl? If so im seriously interested in some tips on use. Been wanting a few carrier routes in the Caribbean ncluding on that circumnavigates Cuba deploying out of Roosevelt Roads NAS.
