Clemenceau Carrier last release

[sparouty]

Hi!
I've just uploaded a new package of my Clemenceau Carrier on Fligh Sim and Simviation.
This release fixes some minor texture issues (specular problems on the flight deck). I uploaded also a package with optional flight deck textures: a set of 1024px (vs 2048px), and a set of textures with mimaps (if it flickers too much).
This should be the last release of Clemenceau in this configuration. Whenever I have enough of ideas to start a release R3 with important enhancements, I'm already working on a plane project, a carrier jet of course
I attached a screenshot to illustrate this "handover"
Regards
Sylvain

PS : this is a very draft WIP so, please, be indulgent...

OMG an Etendard IV! Tres bon! On another note, the Clem is beyond amazing already, I can't wait to test on the new release!

I'm very much looking forward to your Etendard Sylvain!

Hi have some texture issues. the middle of the deck port side bridge is all black, as well as arrestor wires, plane on right, almost like its missing one texture file


Otherwise beautiful model

[sparouty]

Hi,
Strange issue?!
Can you post or send me a screen shot please?
The flight deck is textured with 2 textures and 2 others for specular effects.
These files are named like "PontEnvol_....dds", can you check having these 4 files named like this?
Regards,
Sylvain

Hi, quick reply, i am wondering if its just not a file missing from your zip file as i downloaded the texture pack and that fixed the deck issue, so tried the file on simviation same issue, when i replaced the texture it only asked to confirm 2 out of the 4, only textures missing now are the lower decks around side of the ship all black, around the arrestor wire where they go through the deck, the aft plane and the 2 forward planes and the landing gizmo, its lights work just the frame textures are missing.

Hi Folks

Sylvain -
The textures -
- Pont_Envol02_T
- Pont_Envol02_T_specular
appear to be missing from this v2 package installer.

Hi,
Damned!
Super-Etendard, catwalk surface, and certainly hull textures are missing?!?
If I add PontEnvol2 and its specular map, it looks like a big issue in my package...

I will have to check and repackage this as soon as possible...
In the meantime, I suggest you to download the zipped package available here: http://perso.numericable.fr/sonny3/RFN/ (go to "FSX Navires"), which seem to be complete...:isadizzy:
I'm sorry about that mess...
Regards,
Sylvain

Hi
You're completly right BASys, I've forgot 2 textures (PontEnvol2_T and PontEnvol2_Specular) in my package installer :VEH_Clemenceau_FSX_EN.exe

I'm really sorry about that but fortunately these missing textures are included into the optional texture package uploaded at the same moment (Clemenceau V2 Texture.zip)...

mjrhealth, regarding your missing textures, I think that your problem is elsewhere. Did you try to install the carrier once again?

Let me know if you still have issues.
Regards,
Sylvain

Gents,

Just updated the ( [Click Here] --> ) Aircraft AI Carrier Configurations v1.5 by James F. Chams to include Lotus' L-39 (for use with Naval Repaints) and CaptainSim's C-130's

And if anyone else keeps asking "why?" - Here's why - [Click] --> c-130 carrier landing

Enjoy!

Gents,

I've also made a few additions of my own for these Carriers/Naval Addons to appear in the AI Carriers Menu along with all the others. They weren't included as part of the setup, until I made these files. Simply add these files to your "...\AICarriers\conf.d" Folder, Launch FSX, and Load them from the AI Carriers (AI Ships) Menu.

Enjoy!

ThankYou !!

James, that C-130 landed unassisted if you didn't know, no tail hook. It took off unassisted as well. The herk was able to land come to a full stop and take off in the remaining deck space, rather impressive imo. Back to the topic at hand, i wonder if sparouty will bless us with more screens of the Etendar?

[JamesChams]

Mr. Nick D.,

Yes, it was a specially outfitted C-130 and flown proceedurally to achieve the LND/TOF roles. And, I'm glad to see that users can do it in FSX as well.

Have fun fellows!

Hi Nick,
Here is a little screenshot of the Etendard IVM. It progresses slowly because I'm facing a lot of new problems/questions (carriers and airplanes modeling project seem to be very different), but I'm patient

Sylvain

[simkid22]

Cet avion est très magnifique! If you want some help with textures I'm more than happy to lend my services. I'm just happy there is an Etendard in the works. Keep up the good work!

[sparouty]

Thanks Nick for your comment and your offer!

For the moment I'm spending a lot of time trying to make my 3D model looks like a real Etendard with the right animations working.

It's not easy for me because the first ever planes I have modeled are parked on the flight deck of the Clemenceau (about 7000 polys for the more "detailed", the AlouetteIII "Pedro"), and some guys around here had put my "threshold of satisfation" so high...:isadizzy:

I'll keep your informed about my progress,
regards,
Sylvain

[JamesChams]

Mr. Sylvain,

While your working on the Etendard, I've been busy fulling users requests for more aircraft to TOF/LND from your and Mr. Javier's carriers.

So here's more; DOWNLOAD HERE: Aircraft AI Carrier Configurations v1.6 by James F. Chams

This new update includes a request by Mr. francesco for the Cessna Grand Caravan 20B and I've included both versions of Flight Replicas' (Flight1) Messerschmitt 262A-1a and 262B.

Enjoy!
