Unfortunately crash to desktops happened with the catapult shuttle, when it was spawned aboard. I had to pull it from the experimental build for now.

When starting the Nimitz in the diagnostic exe, a load of errors and warnings are shown. Yesterday was all about fixing those. And changing the hangar light somewhat. Not sure if to go with white or orange here:

Nimitz 0.103 is now live on steam workshop as release, not experimental build: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643530417 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23049 Update video: Changelog available at https://tetet.de/arma/arma3/nimitz/Changelog.txt Enjoy, TeTeT

A new update to the experimental build was pushed: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1697731012 2020-05-04 config - add new bulletin boards by Snakebite - remove not needed properties from p3ds - remove textures from road lod - replace elevator scripts with Leshrack's version Enjoy, TeTeT

Hi @massi, for use on the Nimitz I define an array of soldier types with the different deck crew colors: #define SOLDIERS_TTT ["ttt_crew_white", "ttt_crew_yellow", "ttt_crew_green", "ttt_crew_purple", "ttt_crew_red", "ttt_crew_blue", "ttt_crew_brown", "ttt_crew_blue", "B_Pilot_F" ] In your classlist US Navy I discovered: B_mas_usn_deckcrew_o_F_an B_mas_usn_deckcrew_b_F_an B_mas_usn_deckcrew_g_F_an Any chance to extend these classes to the available deck crew colored shirts above? Would love to see the startup on the cat being performed by your nice looking units! Cheers, TeTeT

@sfod-d_snakebite supplied us with some images for the bulletin board - every carrier now gets a board of its own right:

Can you try the beta? That's what I used and it worked for me. The release might be broken due to the script error you noticed, mea culpa, but won't fix.

Finally the nice uniform for a roll call!

Hi, a bit late to the party, but here's my take at a rescue mission for 3 injured on Doung island (Unsung map): https://tetet.de/arma/arma3/Download/unsung/missions/injuredRescue.RungSat.7z Feel free to recycle any of the code as you seem fit. I'll probably add it as a task to the Khe Sanh helo transport mission as well. Cheers, TeTeT

Hi, the tailhook needs to be deployed manually. I tested this half a year ago and it was functional. No idea what changed since then. Cheers, TeTeT PS: just did a quick test, with the hook deployed I was able to land just fine. For what I know we cannot intercept the autopilot so you need to always manually deploy it.

How do you simulate a wounded person? Just by some bandages applied (available in Unsung) or as unconscious with some injury framework (AIS by psychobastard comes to mind)? The idea sounds interesting, if I can think of something I'll add it to the Khe Sanh random helo transport mission and you can re-use the script if you like.

You can use the CH-46 or CH-53 in Unsung to deploy a rescue basket. For getting an AI to enter the basket you can check out https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2030960722 for the standalone CH-46 version. If you look for a script that rescues you via the basket, look at https://tetet.de/arma/arma3/CH-46/missions/rescue2.Stratis.7z Cheers, TeTeT

The experimental build has been updated recently. Today saw the addition of a 'hangar garage' function on each elevator dashboard. Kudos to RHS and Reyhard for sharing the code for a modified virtual garage. The Nimitz now has a toggle for allowing 'hangar garage' actions, allowing players to spawn arbitrary vehicles on any elevator. When asking for a 'hangar garage' action at the elevator dashboards, the elevator will descend to the hangar level, then a virtual garage will be created. Unfortunately the spawned vehicles are at times less than perfectly aligned with the elevator, but it is working on a basic level. If the vehicle is longer or wider than 10 meters, the script will auto spawn a F/A-181 which fits on the elevator. A word of warning: You can probably call the 'hangar garage' action multiple times on the same elevator with unforeseen consequences. If you call the 'hangar garage' action with a vehicle already on the elevator, it either will result in a splash or boom, depending on luck 😉 Cheers, TeTeT

The 'Bleistift'? Interesting plane to say the least! The Mosquito is just a beauty. Remembering the days of old when playing Warbirds on the Allied side 🙂

From what I know the laser and TGP of the WSO is broken. Not sure if there's a way to fix it.

With the latest updates the beta version had the buddy pod refueling system enabled again. Enjoy.

With today's (2020-04-26) update the rescue basket got improved textures by David (https://steamcommunity.com/id/DavidsteamNL/). Further the rescue basket passenger is now in cargo and no longer driver, so ACE and other systems can load injured into the basket. Lastly an option to enter the basket from the helo has been added. Enjoy, TeTeT

Legacy CH-46 Sea Knight release Based on an arma 2 model by sfc.itzhak and Snake Man we present the Legacy CH-46 Sea Knight. This is a development release, meaning that it is not polished and has many bugs. We want to share early on and release fast. At this stage we would like to ask you to stay away from bug reports and feature requests. Both will be tackled when the time has come. In testing the CH-46 we found that the helicopter provides some fun to fly, especially with ACE and their fast roping system, which we support initially. We hope by releasing that early you can share some of this fun. Do not let yourself down by looking at all the dysfunctional areas. The Legacy CH-46 Sea Knight team is: Odyseus Londo shadowviper TeTeT Thanks for consulting and helping from the start to Eggbeast and Chairborne.
