So far I havent seen a finished aircraft carrier,Only ones I have seen are the ones you both desribed.

The thing with runways is you can only have one per map that the AI will land on, and it has to be orientated a certain way, (ie north to south) for them to use it. It's a real shame that we will only ever have a static carrier that has to be made especialy included into a map if AI are to be used (which is what I hope the Falklands team are doing?) I can't even imagine the scripting for sending off a plane every 30 seconds! Or for taxying them out of the way of the next incoming (perhaps they could end at an elavator that just 'teleports' them out of the way when it goes down?) There's a lot of work in a Carrier!...

Ty for ur replies this will work well in my missions

Check this forum topic out here, it has a link to a group of demo missions that realistically simulates Carrier Aircraft launching and "Trapping."  It uses a basic but highly effective script that realistically launches a carrier off the deck.  It also has a "Trap" script, it still has some eye candy features that need to be addressed, but it works quite well when you aim correctly when you land.

The mission requires the Hermes CV from the Falklands War Mod and the 1.3 version of F/A-18C pack by Hudson and Pennywise.

In order to land effectively on a carrier in OFP, I suggest you change your viewing distance to at LEAST 2500 meters.  It wouldn't hurt to also buy a Carrier Aircraft based game like Janes F/A-18 and play it often.  This practice will help you get better at landing on the deck of the carrier without having an ILS system to guide you.

Let me know what you think about the Carrier Launch Demo missions.

Later.

Havoc.

Since i am a Aircraft lover i'll say they were the best missions concerned with A/C ihad seen in OFP

If only people would use it more often in their mission.

Who's missions would that be exactly?

The F-18 taking-off from the Carrier ones which you madei guess ... who else has made such missions?

[havocsquad 0]

Yeah, the Realistic CAT launch demo missions are mine.  I just asked anyways to be cautious, since there is a lot of stuff that is buried in this official forum.  It beats getting flamed or verbally burned by the missionmaker/addonmaker because of making assumptions.

Just wanting to mention this for you Aircraft Combat fans in OFP:

I hope "Havoc's Fighter Campaign" turns out well, especially since it should give a good simulation of Aircraft Combat Operations.  Pity the F-15E by Deadsoldier and NAA_Us_Marine doesn't have a chaff/flare decoy system like on the F/A-18C pack.

The link to the forum topic for the campaign is here,  you can find more info on the Campaign on the Campaign's website listed on the first forum topic.

Keep in mind this campaign is a solo project by me, so much of the shown information in the campaign topic or the web site might not show the full scale and work put into the campaign.

Look for a public release of Havoc's Fighter Campaign in February or March of 2004.

It won't involve a Carrier in this campaign, but I might create a seperate campaign for using the Carrier launch and trap function sometime next year.

Ok why dont you use F/A 18 those F-15s are old even VITs new F-15 is better with flare support and everything

[havocsquad 0]

The weapons made by Vit suck horribly and the equipment sucks.

The LGB's on the F-15E work wonderously and the Air to Air missiles work quite accurately against the MiG-29 addon that I am currently using.  (Difficult but far from impossible to shoot down the MiG's.)  Good aircraft combat tactics and practice will make you an excellent aircraft combat pilot in my Campaign.  

There will be a very intense training mission to deal with that issue in the campaign.

I refuse to use any of Vit's Aircraft addons because he needs to put more time into the flight model and the weapons instead of just emphasizing on the visual design and skinning of the object.  Once you've put some more effort into the weapons designing and the handling of the aircraft Vit, I'll happily use your addons for my missions.

This is a Realistic aircraft combat simulation campaign for OFP, and frankly the Vit Aircraft addons don't simulate anything but crap in a bucket right now for the aircraft.

An F/A-18C version of this campaign will be released AFTER I finish this campaign with the F-15E used.  I am too far into the development and finalizing stage of the campaign to be replacing addons that are key to certain missions and how they behave.

I just wanna get this campaign done, then I'll toy with other ideas and addons later.
