Note, is Carrier Crew available for the host of CVs created by Ashe?

I have Carrier Crew v5 which includes all Stock, ShipPack2, Plowshare, and Archie models; however, I do not see crew for Ashe models?

THX ashe, only one question, not only about these carriers, but for stock carriers too.
I'm working on creating a mission simulating Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, but found that the maximum B-25s the USS Hornet could carry is 3, the other stock US carriers showed the same problem.
So if there's no way of adding spawn points over a carrier, how should I do to make the mission like the history, I mean, there were 16 planes that took off from the Hornet, right?

I have serious doubts that the game engine is capable of packing in B-25s as tightly as the Doolittle Raiders did.

There would need to be some new java coding done to pack B-25's tighter.
I don't know how to do it, but suspect it would be possible.

At present all you can do is to start with your 3 on the carrier.
The excess numbers will air start above the carrier.

I have a feeling that the carriers in the game might be smaller than they really should be, I mean their scale may not be very appropriate compared to planes.

yeah, that's what I'm doing currently.
I have also tried to make the other B-25s spawn on the carrier some minutes later. That's to say, My squad takes off at 7:00, the second squad at 7:03, the third 7:06, etc. However it turned out all the other planes would not start from the deck, they just spawn in the sky, don't know why.

Don't rely on your "feeling". Check it out against the map grid in FMB.

That's why I say "feeling", I think the fact is that the way the game engine arrange planes on deck makes the carrier looks smaller. In fact all the 16 B-25 were placed on deck of Hornet and they all successfully took off.

Pretty cramped tho'




and rearranged for takeoff


The flight deck on this model looks bigger than the reality shown in the photos.

Here is a short promo DBS recorded for our next Mission, featuring CV-5 USS Yorktown:



Thank you once again, asheshouse

I made a little IL2 movie presenting the Doolittle Raid using B-25raiders, USS CV-6, USS CV-8, and many thanks to the mod makers who made them.

Gumpy, thank you for the "blue" deck. Looks swell!
