Uss nimitz by hawk & dasquade

Recommended Posts

I've been just browsing Hawk's ftp folder and I've found beta version of USS Nimitz that he actually relased 2 weeks ago!

Basicaly, model has been made by DaSquade and finished by Hawk. I think some credits go to makers of LSD48 Ashland (TOW) as Hawk used some of theirs textures. It still have some glitches but overall it's the most finished A/C ever seen in OFP.

Here is download link: (copy the WHOLE line below & paste to browsers address line)

http://landhell.fpp.pl/of/index.php?PAGE=down&FILE=hwk_uss_nimitz-beta.zip&DIR=ADD%20PL/HAWK

(2.7MB).

EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR THIS FILE!

I don't know what's the status on this addon since the filename says "beta" and there's no readme coming with the addon itself. Moreover there has been no official anouncement from Hawk, so I decided not to post this in A&M: Complete (as it seems not to be finished).

Edit: fixed download link

It has a lot of awesome scripts. Unfortunately, the landing scripts require you to have a clear line of sight to the carrier and aren't much good from 5km out. crazy_o.gif

@Hellfish, could you explain how the landing scripts work because I see the options in action menu, and I don't know what to do after selecting them.

Also, does anybody know if there's any catapult script included?

Edit:typo crazy_o.gif

Is it a whole carrier or just some parts again (remember I downloaded a USS Nimitz a couple of months ago and it only contained a half carrier without control tower)

It's the whole, complete carrier. Just go to Units->West->HWK Vehicles and place USS Nimitz, and that's all, it's ready and waiting for you smile_o.gif

to land: get in line with deck (not the take off deck) try going as slow as u can without stalling at 25-40 height ? with flaps full down and gear down...when u get near the carrier select option "land with line break" and touch down, it usualy works for me , the only bug i noticed is that most planes will retract their gear after landing and start jumping about which is quite anoying, ive been trying with all sorts of planes to do this and my favorite right now is the brilliant Skyrayder by Footmunch, Digital Centurion and DeadMeat...very nice indeed.

Now...can anyone find out how to take off?  tounge_o.gif

EDIT: Never mind that!!!! the catapults are fully functional! with the full animations on the backblast protection on the deck...wow, im speechless.

The best addon of an aircraft carrier with a lot of nice scripts. Only one little detail, all modern US ships have the phalanx weapon system like the one on the picture instead of the Vulcan  wink_o.gif . Maybe an improvement for the later versions. Still a nice addon  smile_o.gif

>porn picture removed.

My excususes for the wrong picture

Roll your plane to the catapult, action will appear, but u need to be perfectly aligned or else u get a message, then when u choose catapult a countdown starts with animation...take off with neutral flaps...and up up and away smile_o.gif

Edit: anyone solve the gear up on landing issue or got the defensive weapons in the carrier to engage enemy units?

Put this in aircraft's init field:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setpos[(getpos this select 0),(getpos this select 1), 15]

You may find that you'll have to adjust the last figure (height above sea level, 15 here) for diffrent types of planes

Hey, why wasn't I informed about this earlier eh?    mad_o.gif

Talking about a fully functional Nimitz class Carrier for OFP that is available for download and not telling me, I swear I oughtta make you scum sandblast that entire deck and recoat it just for me when I go on final approach for a 3rd wire trap to try it out.   rock.gif

Then the first thing I'd do out of my cockpit would be me reading a itemized list of flavorful insults and profanity at you all while you polish my F/A-18E Super Hornet.   tounge_o.gif

Next time, ya better PM me or something when something develops like this.   One day old is just too late of a notice when it's a good Carrier addon...    biggrin_o.gif

@ExtracTioN: I'm very glad to hear that. smile_o.gif I'm looking forward to play with them. biggrin_o.gif

@havocsquad: Calm down wink_o.gif nobody knew about it (except for Hawk, maybe wink_o.gif ), until I found it by coincidence in his public ftp folder.

Jeeze, can't people take a bit of dissapointment and a lot of sarcasm in stride and not worry about what I say?  It's not like I'm on a mission against you to ruin your daily life.   rock.gif
