Landed on Moving Carrier!

[RollerBall]

Thanks for the hint NicK!

I swapped the carrier for the 25ft power boat - and the bay was then littered with the blooming things - all moving!



As you can see from the wake, this one is moving pretty fast - so I landed on it in the Bell!




As you can see, the sim objects have a cfg file - and it's clear from the carrier that it is intended to move

Well done. Now why didn't they do this in FS2002 almost 5 years ago.

Nice job, all we need now is a Meatball and some wire.

PS, Rollerball, see you have added aircraft into FSX, I let FSX install to the "C" drive to its default directory setting and I can't find the Aircraft folder. It seems not to be in the same place as FS9. Can you help please?

[RollerBall]

Great innit

Gotta be quick though. They go ploughing across the  bay and then turn and stop. They start up again after a delay so best to quickly slew across to one that's going at full steam and land a bit quick,

Obviously it'll all be a bit different in the real thing - blimey, we'll have battle fleets with support ships and gord knows what. So with modified flour bombing I can see scope for some fantastic 'naval combat' addons

Awsome!

Look in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X Demo\SimObjects\airplanes folder.

How great would a combat sim based on this be? Moving decks and targets, landing on a carrier at night, in a storm with the thing moving after being shot up on a mission. Come on M$, give us some guns!!

Already been done in CFS2. This looks exactly the same to me.

CFS3 was a dead duck - do I sense CFS4 around the corner?

Thanks Hagar. I will try that later. I am at work at the moment..........with very little to do.

Thanks Matt - sorry, missed your post first time round but Doug answered it. Did you find the folder OK?

Rollerball, I am at work at he moment. Very little to do, in fact, make that nothing to do. I would sooner be at home trying it out, but bills must be paid.

Before installing 3rd party aircraft take note that you will probably need to paste a copy of envmap.bmp from FS9\texture into FSX\Texture.

It seems like adding bits to FSX is going to be a little different from FS9. To save lots and lots of questions and repeats of said questions, would it be possible to have a "sticky" thread to cover this until we all get up to speed.
