Oh well, thanks anyway. I already have obviously done all that. Have worked on this for 3 days with no success.
I'm sorry, but it wasn't obvious that you had done all of that.
I assume you have a working v4.10 fully modded installation.
The following notes assume a "Classic" mod installation -- that is, using a MODS folder.
Download the Full_Install USNFleetCarriers.rar --- extract to temp folder on desktop.
In the temp folder you will have two folders and a text file.
Copy and paste the MODS folder into your game root folder.
This creates a USN Fleet Carriers folder in your MODS folder.
Check that there is only one and that it is correctly located.
In the USN Fleet Carriers folder confirm you have 16 class files
Test that the game still starts.
Do not install the Carrier Crew v4 folder - yet.
Since you have been having problems you should make the text entries one ship at a time.
To begin with only make entries in chief.ini and ships.ini
Open the text file containing the instructions.
Scroll down to the ships.ini section
Copy the ships.ini text for all of the ships into your ships.ini file --- you may only have this if you have installed previous mod ships.
Test that the game still starts --- no new ships will appear yet.
Make the first text entries in chief.ini --- entries required in two places
Make entries as follows:
USSSaratogaCV3_1943_1945 ships.ShipPlow$USSSaratogaCV3_1943_1945 1 icons/shipDestroyer.mat
and
[Ships.USSSaratogaCV3_1943_1945]
com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.ShipPlow$USSSaratogaCV3_1943_1945
Test run the game and check that the new Saratoga 43-45 appears.
If not then look for your logfile.txt and post the contents here.
This should show an error message.
