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

Yeeeeeeeha

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?

Great innit

Some more shots in the screenie forum

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?

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

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.
