yup and the ext. mod too

[bergkamp]

I have posted this problem in tech help and did not receive a reply, so apologies if I put it in the wrong section. I have loaded mod UssEssexCV's angled deck carriers (plus ship extensions) into Modact for v4.11.1m and Modact 5.30 for v4.12.2. All carriers show up in FMB object viewer for v4.11 but in Modact 5.30 for 4.12 all carriers show in FMB object viewer except for USS Essex CV9 1960, showing the following error log:

I have tried a re-install of the mod to no avail. Obviously there is a problem with the Hier file but it only shows up in 4.12. Any help appreciated.

Having trouble getting this mod working with 4.12.2.  I was hoping you guys could help me out.

Details below

- Fresh install and updated to 4.12.2 with mega patch
- SAS modact 5.3
- SAS engine 2.7 with western patch
- Jet Era v13

Everything works up to here, but when I install "Essex1960Pack2.02" and make changes to .ini (in particular the chief.ini) I get 70% CTD.

I had this mod working with 4.10.1 for the longest while.

Any thoughts?

Hello Kol Katafe,

At the moment of my previous posting here, I had it working in 4.10.1, without DBW, and I even used the CY6_Infantry and VietnamArmor Mod! It is only very recently I changed to 4.12.2 and had, for reasons I still don't understand, many problems with JetWar 1.32. So I am using only a plain 4.12.2 version with very little Mods now.
Really sorry I cannot help you any further.

Jenato

[Col. Katafe]

Thanks Jenato, at least I know that I'm not the only one 

I'm going to try a couple of things

1. Fresh install of 4.12.2 with Essex mod only. If that doesn't work...

2. Install 4.12 with Essex mod only

I'll keep ya posted.

UPDATE

So I went with option #3... which was to install westerne's French aircraft carrier mod for 4.12.2m which needed ShipExtention2.2

Everything is working now.  I think the missing link was Shipextention mod that was causing the 70% CTD.  My laziness of editing the ship.ini required for ShipExtention was actually the underlying problem. CURSE my Laziness!!!  However, I did not require shipextension mod when I had this all working in 4.10.1.

This may actually fix this Essex mod, but I'm having too much fun right now launching off French aircraft carriers with my American f86 sabre...but who's counting?

Anyways, I hope this helps others should they run into this problem.  And I'd like to thank everyone who made this possible (that is, shooting down migs over wake island in my fury sabre after catapulting off a French CV)

Keep the shiny side up fellas!

Hello everyone!

First of, thank you for this amazing pack!

I just finished installing this Essex 1960 pack. I tried to install ship pack mod 3 times, I was getting crashes so I just tried to install the essex pack without it and it worked! I used the UP3 ini files for "Ships", but I acctually have DBW 1.71 and use it all the time.

Of course, I'm having a small problem: I don't seem to have any catapult on those carriers, I taxi to the catapult line, set the chocks in, my plane doesn't line up like it should do on regular carriers...
I already have CTO modact5 catapult mod, I also have PAL carrier for UP3 users only. Neither one does anything.
So, it might simply come from that I installed it for UP3 version and using it in DBW might bug the catapult...I don't know

Maybe I can try to install the essex pack again but this time with the "Ship pack" ini files (Even tough I don't have installed it)

I wanted to ask you fellow pilots if you have any idea of resolving this problem, advices perhaps...

Thanks again!

C.W.

Hello! Do you have entries for ships of this pack added in your catapults.ini?

[Clint Watters]

I don't believe so...

How do I do this? what's the exact process?

Thank you for anwsering me so quick 

[The Radge]

In *your Il-2 1946 folder*/#SAS/*sas engine mod folder*/com/maddox/il2/objects folder find Catapults.ini and at the end add information about catapults of this Essex carriers, which you can find in readme or in other txt files (example add_catapults) near the add_chief add_tationary etc...

[Clint Watters]

Okay, I followed your instuctions, I saw that the carriers list in SAS engine MOD catapult file already contains the Essex 1960's pack.
The values are set like so:

[USSRandolphCV15_1957]
dCatapultOffsetX 8.7
dCatapultOffsetY -41
dCatapultYaw   0.5
dCatapultOffsetX2 25.4
dCatapultOffsetY2 -43.5
dCatapultYaw2   0.5
catapultPower     19
catapultPowerJets  25
bSteamCatapult 1

[USSRandolphCV15_1962]
dCatapultOffsetX 8.7
dCatapultOffsetY -41
dCatapultYaw   0.5
dCatapultOffsetX2 25.4
dCatapultOffsetY2 -43.5
dCatapultYaw2   0.5
catapultPower     22
catapultPowerJets  35
bSteamCatapult 1

This was already entered when I tried to use the catapult earlier.
I'd like to say that I also have this "CTO_modact5" that might interfer with "SAS engine mod V2.6"
I don't really know what I should do now. 

[The Radge]

Well... then I really don't know about what happened... May be you try again and again taxing as close as you can to the catapults or waiting for more skilled pilots to reply... Sorry...
