 Greetings,

  I have a question about the installing procedure.

  //----------------------------------------------------------------------

//----------- End of USN Fleet Carriers "ships.ini" text insert---------

//================================
//      After inserting the text above re-save the "chief.ini" file.

  It says to install the tex in the ships.ini files but then after that it says to save it in the chief.ini files. I'm confused about this. Can some one expand on this instruction, thank you.

  Disregard last transmission, my bad, I didn't see the latest update, sorry.  The program works perfect now and the carriers looks soooooo awesome!  Thank you.   

[Sora]

  Just a fast question about these beautiful carriers.  Are they compatible with Zuti's moving dogfight programs?  In co-op they work with out a flaw but in moving dogfights some carriers cannot be home basis.  But that's ok, I can use them for just carrier landings only.  Best Regards.

Installed ok. However, While the Sara is listed, she shows up in as the Essex. Ships, Chiefs, and Stationary all have the Saratoga listed but she always comes out as the Essex. Any ideas?

Duffy:

Look in the technics_ru.properties file and find the section where these ships reside - I put them all together with the stock ships.

Look for these entries:
USSSaratogaCV3               USS Saratoga CV3
USSSaratogaCV3_1943_1945     USS Saratoga CV3 1943 and 1945
USSSaratogaCV3_1944          USS Saratoga CV3 1944

The top one is the stock Sara and the two others are the new ones.

If that doesn't work tell me exactly what shows up on your FMB View list.

In the technics_ru.properties, ships are listed as you have them. In FMB name shows  correctly. However the preview picture shows the Essex instead of the Sara and the Essex shows up in the mission as well. Another curious thing: None of the Essex show up with camo but look just like the default Essex. The generic Essex's hull is all black, no detail at all.
BTW, I'm running 4.10.1, ModAct 3.2. Any help appreciated.

Duffy:

Man, I'm not sure what the problem is. JT189 in a post above reports it "work perfect in 410.1"

Not using 4.10 myself, (I'm using an ancient version of Il2 - 4.09b1m. Yes, I'm not even up to 4.09), are the folders in the right places? Is the folder syntax different for 4.09 to 4.10? You said everything shows up in the correct order in "Ships" and "Stationary Ships" so the game is reading the chiefs.ini and stationary.ini files right. Grasping at straws here: did you put the text for "Ships" in the section where the other CVs are - in-game Saratoga, Lexington, Essex, etc? Did you put it in the "ShipPack" section? I don't even know if this would matter or not.

Maybe someone out there can help?

some one should make the ussmidway i dont know hot make ships and stuff but it would cool to have

+1

Is this a request or just a thought?

[asheshouse]

There are not many people making new ship models from scratch.
My last model took 9 months to release.

The correct place to ask is in the requests section.

Why USS Midway?
Personally I would attach more importance to the Yorktown Class.
Reason: Battles of Coral Sea, Midway, Santa Cruz, Doolittle Raid, etc etc etc.

I would want the uss midway for the angled deck. Theres only one aircraft carrier that has an angled deck the HMS collosus. I kinda forgot all about the big E
