Carrier take offs, Full height CFS3 PTO

[HouseHobbit]

I have gotten this far with it all..
I can launch from a full height carrier..

***I do need a elevated Flight deck on a carrier from one of our Masters***

I can use this stock ship as is in missions..
But if Possible I could use a Master with ship building experience to help PLEASE..
Thanks..
Have a Look all..

I'm not a Master ship builder, but I can tell you that what you show us can be a litlle revolution
in the CFS3 community, taking off from a carrier at a deck level :applause::applause::applause:
Did you took your own recipe applied to the camship ? well done ! :jump:
Can we also land at the deck level ?

Let's go on Owen and show us more !
Best regards - Alain95

Alain95, you ask for it you get it..:salute:

Here are some more shots showing more detail and how I am setting it up..
Is this helpful??

Yes this is just a variation on the Cam Ship Catapult Launch missions I do..
With a new carrier set up so the Carrier has Height Like a Normal ship I could make this work Much better..

[SLIP STREAM]

owen IS4G made full height carriers and aircraft adapted to fly from them.we don't use them because the contact points are set to the deck heighr not ground level. but i think they were pto stuff japs and U.S.

I see no one has worked out any of this on the Zero launch.. :173go1:

There is something very different about it..
No it's not that i am flying right side up for a change either..:icon_eek:

[FOO FIGHTER]

Owen, could you give a little more detail on this? Did you adjust the carrier or the aircraft?

[HouseHobbit]

Everything is stock, it is how I built the mission..Nothing has changed in the game..
I don't have the skill to change any of this..
I have finally worked out a way to do this in the missions..
Again I just side stepped the problem..
Not a true fix..
If I had a Full height carrier( w/raised Flight deck) i could do these much better..

[garykidman]

Well done Owen at last it looks like you've cracked it Great work

This would be a nice breakthrough indeed. Here is the name of the file with standalone carriers. IS4G_aircraft_carriers It has both the dropped deck and full deck variations. You can download it at SOH from the warbirds archives.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought all the carriers for CFS3 had both a full height and a lowered deck version?

Yes my friend, But the Carriers in CFS3 are just moving Airfields not true ships..
With the cam ships I have hard point,on the catapult, with the Airfields CFS3 carriers you fall through the deck if you try to land on it..

I need a Ship carrier not a airfield carrier..
I can set up a launch from our Full height carriers(airfields) But they will if allowed it fall thought the Flight deck, because there in no Contact point to Hit..
I can place a aircraft on any ship, on top of a turret or deck and Launch them because they has solid decks to fly from..

But as The Full height carriers I can't do it this way.. Because the Carriers contact points for the upper flight to use for staging the aircraft are at sea level....
I can make them work to a degree as they are..

But give me a proper ship and I can do wonders in How I can build a mission for this..

And I can set a aircraft perfectly within inches of a ships contact points and launch them as I do for the camships..

Without the blowing up.. It is a matter of placement in the mission, as I said I can place a aircraft within inches, but all of this is done outside the Mission Builder..

Thanks for educating me Owen I did not understand the distinction. Possibly another misconception but it would seem to me that a model is a model. The floating airfields I believe are ship models also but with minimum moving speeds and I think these just have the contact points lowered to sea level. Can't you raise up the contact points on those and give them an elevated surface to land on?

[Pat Pattle]

Hi Owen,

I understand how you make the carrier take-offs in missions by starting in mid-air just above the carrier deck. But are you also saying that landing on a ship at full height is possible with standard aircraft, if that ship is made in a certain way?
