in short, can any friend teach or explain how to write a CFG file for 3rd party fleets for AI carrier2?


after installation of the great Aicarrier2, there are already some ships can be set in fsx, because their .cfg file is included in aicarrier/conf.d folder.
and, some extral 3rd party ships such as the amazing NIMIZ fleet made by free software builder have also include the CFG file for Aicarrier2, so they can be set in FSX

my question is, I download many other free misc fleets such as "FSX_Battle_of_Coral_Sea_Yanco_San_USNAVY_Aircrafts_Carriers_and_Ships".... but there is no cfg for AI carrier2 included.
I don't know how to write a CFG for Aicarrier?
I did try to follow the existing cfg files , but I dont understand those numbers following
"unit.1=VEH_cruiser01, -3000, -1000 what does the -3000,-1000" what do they mean?

[formation.11]
title=USS Nimitz (CVN68) Launch Configuration & Fleet
unit.0=CVN68_6, 0, 0
unit.1=VEH_cruiser01, -3000, -1000
unit.2=VEH_destroyer01, 3000, -1000
unit.3=SH-60_guard, -350, -120
unit.4=VEH_destroyer01, 200, -8000
unit.5=VEH_destroyer01, 900, 7000"
maybe any friend can teach me or explain how to write a CFG for AI carrier2?

Hi!

The values are feet left or right, ahead or behind the "zero point", which is "unit.0=CVN68_6, 0, 0 in your example.

The first value is left or right, with the negative value off to the left.

The second value is fore or aft, with the negative value trailing.

So, in your example, "unit.1=VEH_cruiser01, -3000, -1000", the cruiser should be 3000 feet to the left of the carrier, and trailing behind by 1000 feet.
