carrier pack

Hi, this question is regarding rcbco-20.zip. When you takeoff from the carrier does the catapult steam away like in real life? Also are there any sound effects from the catapult when you launch from it?

Tailhook i've had a look at my carrier2006 setup, when i select "carrier" in the country section in create a flight, the ocean flatten file box actually gives me a selection of 46 carriers of which only about 18 are there as you stated. I don't think i'll ever understand this carrier thing Confused

If you are looking for a good carrier that is scenery check out simviation.com and search FS2004 CVN65 DEMO Puerto Rico Carrier. Because it is only a demo there is only one location, but you still get a nice carrier. One other note is that there are no AI planes on the carrier. I imagine that if you put it together with rcbco-20.zip you will have a sweet naval aviation set-up! Now we can all rock like Tom Cruise in Top Gun! Shocked

I was just wondering if 3wire Aircraft Carrier Simulator v2 is a good alternative to rcbco-20.zip. Does anybody how it launches planes off of carriers compared to the rcbco-20 method? Is it easier to install? There are so many routes one can take in making carriers operational in Fs2004. Read

Thanks!

Well, as you've probably seen in the readme, the 3wire requires .NET FRAMEWORKv1.1. I was about to have a look at it when I realized that I already have deleted .NET FRAMEWORKv1.1. because I have v2.0 on my system.
Now the 3wire setup.exe won't recognize v2.0 and insists on v1.1 Shocked

I don't know if there is a workaround - but if you have .NET FRAMEWORKv1.1., give it a try because the Operating Handbook will only materialize once you've run the .exe.

If your results are positive, fill us in. If not, get stuck into rcbco-20 - it's not that difficult after all. The idea is to move the contents of the Addon Scenery, Effects, Gauges, Modules and Sound folders into their respective destinations in fs9.
This process has to be done only once.
Now it's a matter of putting the gauge for launching and landing into one of your favourite panels. That's just a matter of editing the panel.cfg which has been described very well.
Now that you've got the cat gauge in your panel, choose an aircraft that already has a tailhook so you won't have to add one. That's it.
There's more to the rcbco-20 setup, but this is all you need to launch and land. Very Happy

After all the nice things we've been saying about RCB gauges i've hit a problem! I've downloaded a stunning A-4 Skyhawk but was'nt really happy with the panel so i changed it to one with a better overall view (as you do).I did everything the same as with every other panel i've used them with and do you think i can get the cat /tailhook gauge to appear? Not a chance,the meatball HUD i can get in the instrument/panel options, but no cat gauge.Oh and if you taxi too fast and it tips over ,it rolls forever and you have to reset FS9.
Apart from that it looks great! Shocked

PS Tailhook, there's a new carrier download at Avsim. If you just type in Ark Royal in the search, you will get the "old" Ark from the 70's, our last "real" carrier (not the new crap heli/harrier thing). It's a bit of a bind to install but it's in 4 locations,the Med/Norway/Mayport and the Channel, and it comes with 2 options, aircraft on deck or not. Don't think you'd get a 747 off it though it seems much smaller than your US carriers Sad

!
Don't forget to download the updated AFCADS! Very Happy

Or start swimming.
