carrier pack

Hey Welshflyer, good to see you're still in this thread.

First to some of the folks that contributed a bit further up: The 3wire setup does have a steam gauge. I've read most of the Handbook but not installed anything yet.
As mentioned earlier, the 3wire requires .NET FRAMEWORKv1.1. According to the Handbook, v1.1 is actually a part of WindowsXP SP2, so most of us should have it, just have a look in Control Panel / Add Remove Programs.
I had ditched version 1.1 thinking that my version 2.0 would cover everything. Not so.
So I re-installed version 1.1 -- yes, now I have both versions installed, was thus able to run the 3wire .exe which is the only way to access the Handbook. Don't even try to install or work with 3wire without reading the Handbook.

The program includes a gauge for the nose wheel steam and in order to make it work, the respective aircraft.cfg has to be edited a little.

For those who'd like to know more, just download the file, do the README thing first, and run the setup.exe.
If you decide it's not your thing, de-installation is just a matter of deleting the 3wire program folder. Easy.

It's a good looking carrier

...if you can get it to work. Hack

I give up for the time being. I've tried everything... time to find some medication. Mr. Green

Sorry to hear about your Ark Royal problems Tailhook(mine's working fine Confused

). The panel is the" FS2004 A-4 Skyhawk panel" by Bob Chicilo from simviation 961kb.Panels page 15, fifth down!

Tailhook, i've been trying to find out the cause of your problem and i cant come up with anything! I activated all the scenery at the same time, instead of one by one as well,but it works fine, well, at least one does i have'nt tried the other three( i used the one in the Channel).I did a launch and a trap and it all went OK(after a couple of bolters that is).The only thing i can think of is did you put the new "OF" file at the top of the addon scenery(i know you did but i'm trying to figure all options Very Happy

).

Yes I did Welshflyer, thanks for your effort.

I'm still stuck on the idea that the ocean flatten files of carrier2006 and Ark collide somehow. But then, you've got both installed as well.
Strange though that my other carriers don't have OF files Think

Don't waste any more time on it unless you accidentally find 'enlightenment' Very Happy

I've got the A-4 panel, haven't checked it out yet though. Give me a few thousand minutes.

All right, I've got it right in the top/left corner as illustrated below:

You probably want it inside the cockpit Embarassed

..not sure if I've got the HUD right. But the CAT/Tailhook gauge works and the aircraft behaves impeccably. BTW, I put it in the Intruder for this experiment. Try this for a crude solution:

Thanks for your efforts Tailhook, i'll give it a try!

Tailhook, i don't know if this is part of your problem but i was browsing the new files section at Avsim and there is a "missing bgl file" for the Mayport Ark Royal there, which i can't seem to download at the moment!

Good catch Welshflyer, this could be it Cool

I'd given up on the Ark and actually got rid of it in disgust but now curiosity is getting the better of me again.

Just saw another .bgl update arkroyal2.zip - the readme file in that .zip could contain the answer to the riddle.
Welshflyer if you have your Crashdetection turned off, that would explain why my aircraft kept falling through the deck Think

More to tinker with - it never ends, does it Very Happy

Welshflyer · Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2007 1:55 am Post subject:

Funny you should say that Tailhook i do have it turned off(crash detection that is), But i have another strange problem with the Waikato Carrier that i have just added. It shows up fine, but whenever i try to fly from it i am in the hanger deck, i have tried to taxi to the elevator but nothing happens when on it! It surely does never end! Shocked

You're a brave man indeed, there must be about 500 incarnations and packages of Waikatos all over the place. I'll find a suitable one one of these days.
Let us know if the turning on of crash detection solves your problem with the Waikato Smile

Brave!!!!! Stupid as Censored

more like, when i could be cruising at 35,000ft taking it easy pumping up my hours for my VA! Very Happy

.I just love my carrier flying, now that's real simming! Do i go for the trap or do i do a bolter? Do i live or die(virtually), no ILS ,find a postage stamp and try to land on it!Tailhook we must be mad! Shocked

because trying to figure out this whole carrier thing is madness itself! Very Happy

Tailhook · Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2007 8:18 am Post subject:

Roger that Welshflyer, the madness just found yet another way of manifesting itself Shocked

What a thrill! The Ark is working Kick

The arkroyal2.zip did the trick. So with all the excitement that my a/c didn't fall through the deck I forgot to arm the cat and ended up in the drink anyway ROFL

Sanity in tact - pride slightly dented...

I'm glad you finally got it sorted Tailhook! Very Happy
