stumpysequoia 25 Posted October 22, 2015 I think Peral has released tractors, maybe you can use them on the Nimitz: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28548 The crews are available in coloured uniforms if you have loaded one of the following mods: Futarm Maritime Units, http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23106 Flight Deck Crew, http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26877 Otherwise the standard arma3 soldiers are used. Flight deck Crew mod is WAY better than Futarm. Futarm uses 2035 crew gear and gives the units guns on default spawn... flight deck crew mod has quite realistic uniforms. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Kong 148 Posted October 22, 2015 Hey tetet, glad to see a release for the Nimitz, arma 3 is practically demanding more sea assets, especially large ships like the Nimitz Is by any chance compatible with zeus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted October 22, 2015 I can't make tow module to work. If anyone knows exactly how to do it please tell us it's quite annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeTeT 1523 Posted October 22, 2015 On Zeus compatibility: If you add "JDG_carrier_Spawner" to the units[] array in the Nimitz config.cpp, you can enable it. But, and that's a huge but, all of the Zeus stuff of manipulating the object doesn't really work, as the moment the carrier is initialized it is built and tied to the current position. Maybe there's a way in zeus to set for example direction before spawning, then it kind of works. But I would describe it as glitchy at best. If there's interest I'll add the JDG_carrier_Spawner to the units[] array in config.cpp and you can test yourself :) ss9, sorry to read you found glitches in the hangar. Can you try to move the carrier a little bit in your mission and see if the glitch is still there? I kind of suspect that the map position is related to it, but I have no hard evidence for that belief. nikiforos, I just tried the tow module and it worked for me. I placed the Nimitz, a pilot, a F/A-18E and a UGV on map. Then I added the Flightdeck module and synced the soldier and for a challenge set the F/A-18E to 17.5 meter and the UGV to 20 meter (the UGV would do funny things at lower heights) manually. Next I placed the towing module and synced F/A-18E and the UGV with it. I could then preview the mission and attach the Super-Hornet to the placebo tractor (UGV).

Iron_ 10 Posted October 22, 2015 TeTeT, Fantastic work on the Nimitz thus far! Could I make a request for a minor feature/compatibility-bug-fix-thing with ALiVE? As reported here, your assorted carrier objects are capable of being virtualized by ALiVE when they spawn in, and being accidentally vanished into the great beyond for virtualization assuming the mission editor isn't using the "virtualize only sync'd objects" option. (And depending on the mission, that may be the more desirable setting.) However, as noted here, objects can be blocked from any virtualization with an object setVar. Would you mind including that setVar ( _thing setVariable ["ALIVE_profileIgnore",true] ) on all of your objects' inits? ALiVE won't become a dependency, and I'm sure that little bit of hidden extra compatibility will help a lot of folks who might not be able to figure out why their Nimitzes (Nimitzi?) are disappearing!

El Tyranos 1264 Posted October 23, 2015 Hi, first I'd like to thank you tetet, this version is way better, great job :) However, I can't find how to make catapults working on a dedicated server, can anybody help me ? I simply spawned an empty USS nimitz in our everyday sandbox mission, it's working SP, but not MP. Is there any script to launch ? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmaFiend 122 Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks but UGV? Are you sure? I thought of something like this Also why does crew on flightdeck don't use crew outfit? I see them with regular military outfit? Yup, UGV. There is a seperate airplane logistics mod with models like about but i have always had issues with it. Such as , only being able to turn left after 5 min of play also. I think the actual towing script them selfs are similar but most air assets seem to be designed to work with the nimitz towing in mind. I would love to see the airfeild logistics mod and nimitz get togeather to kick ass. But I think that mod is working on mil. forklifts next and tetet seems to have a nice game plan on his wish list. Also other than how "real" it is I like the ugv more as a tower than using it for anything else in game. I can have a ugv in the hanger to remote to and bring the plane to me.

bladebow 10 Posted October 23, 2015 You can use the UGV as an ad-hoc replacement for towing the F/A-18 by John_Spartan/Saul, check out the sample missions. On the explosions, how do you place the plane on the carrier? Do you use setPosASL with the deck or hangar height? I haven't encountered any random explosions so far, only once when using the cat. CAN YOU GIVE A QUICK RUNDOWN ON HOW TO GET THE UGV TO TOW VEHICLES AROUND THE SHIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I did wrong placing the Nimitz as an empty vehicle and the positioning soldier and empty aircraft on it. But it works although the plane jumps a little when moving around with the UGV. I tested with Firewill's F-14 but there seem to be another problem not related with Nimitz. TGT targetting is not always working. Sometimes the target appears and some not. Towing seems to work with Sauls F18 but not with Firewills F-14 , can anyone else confirm that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srbknight 925 Posted October 24, 2015 Hi guys i have to ask you all maybe you all know how to do it but i was try everything but not working 1. How to make ai catapults from Carrier 2. How to make ai lands on carrier 3. I saw that ai can fly and land in Carrier operations campaign in Arma 2 4. Thank's to everyone anyway ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TGT targetting is not always working. Sometimes the target appears and some not. Towing seems to work with Sauls F18 but not with Firewills F-14 , can anyone else confirm that? why towing is not working? its no wonder. because in dll_tow config, F-14 is not in config list if you tried some Su-35, To-199 and Wipeout to tow, maybe you can't attach it. because like i said, they didn't list in there. if nimitz team input the tomcat code in dll_tow config, problem is will be solve.

TeTeT 1523 Posted October 24, 2015 Iron, thanks for the kind words. No problem to add (_carrierPart setVariable ["ALIVE_profileIgnore",true]) to the init script. If you're willing to test a build with that, send me a PM. ElTyranos, thanks :) I'll try to verify if the auto sync is broken on dedi server this weekend. I haven't really tested the Nimitz on a dedi myself, but I know that the experimental builds were used by some group(s). Maybe they used the manual sync, I'll investigate. tallguyjv, nikiforos, bladeblow, firewill: I'll add the F-14 to the run_dll towing config and we see how it works. I did not enable it for the standard arma planes as they would first sit still, then jump and finally blow up when being towed. It's probably a good idea to re-evaluate that. srbknight, I wrote an AI traffic mission for the Nimitz and F/A-18E/F. You can download it from http://tetet.de/arma/arma3/nimitz/%5bSP%5dNimitzTraffic.Stratis.7zand use the scripts in your own mission. However, it's a bit involved as it tries to play out the carrier ops from using the elevator, taxiing, taking off and landing. It would be a good candidate to have the AI take-off and landing as a module, but not sure if I will have time for that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeTeT 1523 Posted October 24, 2015 New video on towing, pretty much experimental stuff, enjoy the carnage: I tested the towing for a while and it worked quite nicely, but when I recorded the video everything went to pieces somehow. Guess that's modding reality. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imager6 40 Posted October 25, 2015 The auto-syncing worked well on my computer, but when I up-loaded it to my server and a friends server it did not sync.

TeTeT 1523 Posted October 25, 2015 WastedMike1, currently we have nobody updating the icon for the Nimitz. Are you interested in providing an updated icon? I reproduced the problem of the auto syncing on dedicated server and hopefully fixed it with faithful calls to bis_fnc_MP. It will be tested later. Speaking of testing, is anyone that is using alive actively interested to join the team and do the testing with alive and the Nimitz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
