CV-79 USS John F. Kennedy Gerald R. Ford Class Carrier

[CIMOGT]

Undertaking the new project for the CVN-79 and also updating the CVN-78 over the next few months, since I will replace most textures, lights, crew and the Air WING, in addition to adding details and animations to the crew I think I it will take some time, as always here, I will be publishing the progress and as always I will appreciate your observations (at the same time I am working the USS Yorktown WWII era, but it will take longer since I am starting from 0)

[jymp]

Thanks Bud, looking forward to this.

First check of the textures before all the animations

Be interesting to see the F-35C & F/A-18E/F with helos airwings, also if SDK permits ?, these ships in the new FS2020.

We will have to wait and see the file structure and file extension that it uses. According to I read the third-party installation will be possible

[jymp]

3rd party installations will be possible, CVN-78 & 79 will have a very realistic home, far more so than any sim before. Whats the latest with 78 & 79 ?

Hi CIMOGT,


congratulations on your upcoming CV-79 John F-Kennedy. The ship is really looking pretty good!


Relating to it´s aircraft and helicopter display(s) my I have a question: It´s possible to give her a "near future outfit" with some drones on the deck?


May be the X-47...

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=72225&stc=1

..and/or the MQ-25 ???

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=72226&stc=1


in combination with the E-2´s , Seahawk´s, F-35 C´s and F-18`s?


I think it would be a nice new mix for your CV-79...


Howsoever... I´am happy to see a JFK again on our real and virtual oceans...

Many greetings

RS

[CIMOGT]

sure, thanks for the suggestion, I hope to end the crew today, to start with the deck air wing this week,

Are the screenshots of the ship in water distorted ?, the bow looks long, out of shape.

Hi CIMOGT....

the drone is really looking good....The first-ever carrier addon for FSX/P3d (for a Flight Simulator?) which includes a Carrier Air Wing with drones...

I´am pleased to see that beast soon in my sim.


Greetings RS

[jymp]

Yes, looking forward to it, are we getting close ?

[CIMOGT]

Yes, looking forward to it, are we getting close ?

The ship is 100% finished, like the crew, at the last moment I decided to add another option of Air Wing, the project took me much more than I thought because I changed 80% of textures of the ship and made again all the animations including that of the shooter, I only have pending the night textures of the air wing, I hope it is ready by mid-December in
the firts release I will only include the P3D version, the version for FSX would expect to have it one or two weeks later because i don't tested 100% and maybe i need remove some animations

[RS]

...hopefully the FSX version will be available on 24th december....

HI CIMOGT,

...may be pacific routes ? (I do not know the planned first deployment for the JFK...)


-> From Hawaii over Guam to Yokosuka, Japan
-> From Yokosuka, Japan over Hongkong to Singapur

The version for FSX is ready, I am only working on the installation instructions and I have pending the executable for the installation, the differences with the version of P3D is that it comes with 1 single version of Air Wing and not 2 like the P3D version

I've tried both FSX and P3D versions of this - I use P3D V3.4.

I installed the exe installer to a dummy folder then manually copied the files over to their proper locations within P3D:

With the FSX version I get a floating in the air boat:

https://i.postimg.cc/qRP2pVfz/Float.jpg

I then uinstalled th FSX version and manually installed the P3D version (the boat will not hang in the air) and
when I add the gauge file rays of light from the flight deck:

https://i.postimg.cc/q7L484sp/Capture1.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/763g9HQw/Capture.jpg

I've used both P3D and FSX gauges and have same result (Light beams).
With the P3D version, in P3D V3.4, the light beams don't happen till I installed the gauge.
I also do not see the sar helo, it is baked into the mdl. The menu screen works. When I click on Activate Sar helo
no helo appears.


Edit: looks like the gauge may be okay however, when I add the folder Trip Kennedy (Flight Deck Personnel) then the light issues (rays of light) happen.
When I select SAR Helo, it does not appear.

[gray eagle]

Air wing 2 Selected: I am assuming there is suppose to be an airborne SAR Helo.

EDIT: I had the gauge installed in the Main Gauges folder and now have copied it over to the aircraft that I modded to use the menu panel.

I still do not see the SAR Helo when I click on the Sar Helo Button......

[gray eagle]

Some of the flight deck crew are a little overboard........

https://i.postimg.cc/wBg2Yr63/Capture.jpg


Still no visiable airborne SAR helo.........

[gray eagle]

I think that gauge is still a little buggy. Sometimes this happens and sometime is doesn't.

https://i.postimg.cc/rs510GjK/Capture.jpg

[gray eagle]

When selecting SAR Helo, it would not appear. Now I made my own SAR helo with out use of that menu screen.


PS: The FSX version of this would float in the sky, so I manually installed the P3D4 version of this in my P3D V3 and as you can see it floats in the water and not in the sky.
Now and then, the rays of light will appear from the flight deck and beam upwards. The beams resemble some of the night light effects that beam from the island.

The crew in the different models is in slightly different positions so if you mix them as you have done, happens this, so you can choose one of both P3D or FSX models to see what happens with your simulator but not if you mix both models , the air wing is also different between both simulators

Is that you in the photo with the Seahawk Hawkeyes? I did the repaints for the whole det. of 4 authentically when I was in vCVW3 flying them using Alphasim E2's, the only game in town back then. I think that I redid them for Dino's E2/C2 Bird which I was involved with beta testing for him.

Yeah, that’s me. I was the OPS O back then on the JFK 92-93 MED deployment.We introduced that paint scheme on the cruise.Repaints look awesome!
