JDog 11 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) USS Nimitz for ArmA II -Version 0.93 |August 25, 2011 Features: Working catapults, jet blast deflectors, elevators, arresting cables Custom catapult steam effects and arresting cables animate being caught IFLOLS landing aid system Large hangar bay and other interior spaces Ordnance storage room deep below decks to get munitions from to resupply aircraft on the flight deck Fully customizable briefing room Includes example mission, texture templates, and very detailed and helpful readme concerning scripts for mission-makers and usage for players For future plans, see the bulletin board inside the carrier, downstairs from the island. ______________________________________________________________ - Version 0.93 Changelog - Fixed: Issue where dropped gear on the Nimitz/nearby water would multiply over time until the server ultimately crashed (thanks to ZZEZ again for this). Added: Systems for refueling, rearming, and repairing aircraft. Read new sections of this guide regarding these features. This includes many scripts, actions for players, and a new weapons storage room deep below decks. Added: Davits for the launching and retrieval of Zodiac CRRCs. Added: Steam effect during catapult launches. Added: A few new ordnance container objects that can be placed in the editor. More to come later perhaps. Improved: Catapult launches now have a short but random delay between your salute and your launch. Improved: Arrester cables will now simulate being caught by the tailhook of an aircraft and be pulled out. Improved: Tailhook options now also accessible from a wider angle, allowing more time to set up a landing approach. Changed: Certain high-priority carrier actions have been color-coded and placed at the top of the action menu (whether this stays depends on how many find it annoying). Updated: Test mission to reflect setPosASL requirement (instead of setPos) and to show an ammo-loaded towing tractor, as well as position a jet properly for fuel.

Nothing more than colored rings, they can be found under Empty > Targets. You are able to set a texture inside the ring using this setObjectTexture [0,"textureName.paa"]; The AI is stubborn and/or retarded when it comes to trying to script them to launch off the carrier, please see this post.

nikiforos 450 Posted February 25, 2011 Great carrier I enjoy it very much. There is a problem though with the mission that you created. When I start the mission on of the planes behind seems to have no wheels and seems to hover . I dont know if its only me or if others have the same issues.

[frl]myke 14 Posted February 25, 2011 Great carrier I enjoy it very much. There is a problem though with the mission that you created. When I start the mission on of the planes behind seems to have no wheels and seems to hover . I dont know if its only me or if others have the same issues. Do the wheels appear if you approach them? If yes, then it might be that the respective LOD of these planes doesn't have wheels. Please check that, approach them until you can see the wheels, then go away again to see if the wheels disappear again. @topic excellent, downloading...

nikiforos 450 Posted February 25, 2011 [GLT]Myke yes it seems to be a LOD issue. When I come closer to the aircraft the wheels appear for me. Anything I can do about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted February 25, 2011 [GLT]Myke yes it seems to be a LOD issue. When I come closer to the aircraft the wheels appear for me. Anything I can do about it? No, nothing you could do...unless your the creator of this particular addonplane. :p Out of curiosity, about which plane/addon do we talk about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted February 25, 2011 The AV-88 Harrier :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted February 25, 2011 The AV-88 Harrier :) Just fired up ArmA 2. For me, at 230m the AV-8B switches to the lowest LOD which has indeed missing wheels. The other LOD's seem to have the wheels modelled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Charles 22 Posted February 25, 2011 Protip: do not use the Elevator when you are in a vehicle,you will glitch under it. Nice work nonetheless and i lol'ed at the briefing room (operation Sandwich ftw) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDog 11 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Hmmm Charles which vehicle was in that you "glitched under"? And I'm guessing this happened while going UP? Also yea I'm aware of the LOD-switching issue for the planes, don't know if its maybe because of the size of the ship or the amount of polys? Also... I don't think I mention in the readme file but if you put a towing tractor on the carrier you'll be able to tow aircraft. At least all standard BIS aircraft + Ikar's F14.
