western0221,

As I have indicated earlier in this thread, I am excited about having the angled deck carriers in IL-2. I very much appreciate the hard work you, Diving_Hawk and others have done to make the angled deck carriers come to life.

I have installed the angled deck carriers in DBW 1.71 and tried them out. I realize that this mod is a work in progress and that further refinement is ongoing. There are some observations that I've made that may be useful to you as work continues on this mod.

I suspect that there is a conflict between angled deck carriers and DBW 1.71 AI. With the subject mod, and 00_PAL-Carriers_Temp12, installed, I had several AI problems. For example, with the subject mods installed, my wingman does not fall in formation and frequently collides with my plane. In one mission today, as a dogfight was beginning, my wingman collided with me and sliced my Hawk 18 in half.

To try to figure out what was going on, I set up a one-on-one dogfight with the subject mods installed and found that the enemy AI and their planes seemed to have acquired supernatural abilities. Except for a head on pass, I found there was no way I could get close to an enemy plane, even when I flew an identical aircraft against a rookie pilot. On one such mission, a rookie pilot sliced my wing in half with his wing. My plane ended up sleeping with the fish and he flew his back to the carrier missing only one aileron. On another mission, I found that my FW-190 could not catch up with a A5M4 even though my airspeed was 260 knots.

I have also observed that aircraft passing close to the player's plane, whether a wingman or an enemy, appear to stutter.

After trying a number things that did not improve the situation, I removed the angled deck carriers and 00_PAL-Carriers_Temp12. As a result, I found that the problems I've mentioned go away. Hence, it is my interpretation that these observations indicate a conflict between DBW AI and the mods in question.

In any case, I am looking forward to seeing these carriers with the revised superstructure and further refinements.

Cheers,

Riptide

Hi Riptide_One.

See my 1st post rewrited.

DBW1.71 or Jetwar1.2 need Anto's SAS AI, Engines, Hotkeys & Carriers Mod v2.5.
Not PAL_Carriers_Temp12.
PAL_Carriers_Temp12 is not compatible with DBW1.71.
I keep Temp12's zip downloadable for only staying DBW1.6 users.

And in the future, DBW1.72 patch will be released, DBW1.72 will contain Anto's Carrier Mod fix, so then no need to add SAS AI, Engines, Hotkeys & Carriers Mod v2.5.
On DBW1.72, no need to install additional Carrier MOD.

I released Essex SCB-125 pack BETA11.
DL link is my 1st post.

All ships have SCB-125 new islands and new radars.

I think... I finished it.
Please test this BETA11 in 1 week.
And when you find some bugs or feel some requests, tell me them here.
I will fix them.

In nothing to fix, after 1 week, I will release this in Ships&Viecles section.

This BETA11 needs "ShipExtentions 2.10" for full functions (Radars rotation).
Ultr@Pack3.0RC4 isn't compatible with "ShipExtentions 2.10", but without Radars rotation, BETA11 will work in UP3RC4.
BETA11 .7z contains UP3RC4's ships.ini.
Best solution is UP3 will include my "ShipExtentions 2.10".

Will this actually need the original Essex class, because that is currently not available since the FBI closed down the download site.

Looks fantastic!

Hi, I installed beta10 version. worked 100% Fine. (install on DBW 1.71 with hotkeys etc)
I removed beta10 version, and installed beta11, kept the .ini files as they were before, except, I added the ShipExtentions lines in the ship.ini (assuming the names of the ships didn't change, no need to change .ini files right?).

I have trouble with setting up static ships in the FMB. I can see them in the list, I just can't spawn them.
2nd problem, I can put the ships in the FMB with waypoints, they appear in the 3D view and all, but once i start the mission, the ship just disappeared and isn't there anymore.

I saw the mod required ShipExtentions 2.10, couldn't find it in the forums, was it already included in the beta11 files?
I'm not so sure, but it seems the catapults have 1939-1945 strength in coop missions, Is it possible that they somehow aren't 1960 strength anymore?
And also, I know you're great at modding mods for aircraft carriers, do you think you could make us a mod to add Homebase on moving carriers for DBW, like the one that's been done for UP3?

Many thanks,

[western0221]

Sorry, I forgot Ship Extention 2.10 link.

Ship Extention 2.10 is here https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,18742.0.html

I have no clue about this so I ask you Western: had one of the carriers in this essex pack AA-missiles and when do you plan to make them similar to those that came with Clemenceau?

In my data Essex class didn't have SAM, and I don't have a plan to make Essex carrying any SAM.

At Midway class or Forrestal class, Sea Sparrow SAM is carried after 1970's.

The island (Super Structure) is floating a bit from the flight deck.

It will be fixed.

[western0221]

+1 bug I'm told.
Only with bridle catchers ships, planes on the deck is floating.
I will fix it.

In mission starting planes floats 10cm from the deck and fall down in Toggle Chocks is not bug.
Daidalos carriers Essex/Illustrious/Alagi/Shokaku are the same.
