AI Carriers .NET
Tregarth:
I am using P3D v3.3 with Win 10. I have installed AI Carriers.NET which does all that it should do but none of the carriers which I use have a wake.
I have turned most of the Scenery settings to their max value, I have tried altering the wake file names in [Effects], all of which have no effects.
One question I have is: Does the command "Forward" in the AICarriers menu work? I can make the carrier turn through 90 etc but even when it does this (it spins round like a spinning top) it shows no wake effects. In FSX the wake is clearly visible.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how have you solved it? I have checked in
Very odd,
Thank you,
Tregarth

I have FSX, but to the best of my knowledge, yes the Forward command works. Should anyway.
I will look and see, but someplace I found an updated wake set of file for many different ships. Including the carriers used for AICarriers. I will try to dig up the source and post it for you. It really made my wakes work great, carriers and AI ships both.

EDIT: I found this info about the VooDoo wake fix. It's for FSX but I think it's worth a try for your situation, maybe? Anyway, it's in this thread:http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,13221.0.html
Maybe that will give you some help?

Tregarth:
Thank you for your thoughts, much appreciated.
When I use FSX AIC behaves perfectly. I have removed AIC from P3D to see if that will make a difference. But, using the default carrier in P3D is not easy; it appears I need to master SimDirector which is supplied in P3D but needs the use of the SDK.
I understand your thoughts on using the VooDoo wake but it seems to me to be wrong that 3rd party software is needed to make LM's default boats work properly. (But if you look at LM's promotional video neither the carrier nor coast guard boat seems to have a wake.)
I am beginning to think it is wiser to stay with FSX.
Thanks,
Tregarth

AICarriers appears in the P3D add-on menu when I start P3D but lists only the default ships (see screenshot ). If I select 'single carrier' the default carrier shows up on the water and travels just fine. But I can't get a list of installed AI ships for selection, such as one of the Nimitz variants.
I've installed AICarriers.net and the Nimitz & Eisenhower V2 AI ships, and modified the exe.xml (using the sample file) in P3D v3.3.5's AppData.Roaming>Lockheed Martin>Prepar3D v3 folder to point to the AICarriers.exe file in the P3D main folder. I've placed both the cvn_68_69.cfg and CVN65_Enterprise.cfg files in the conf.d folder.
Checking aicarriers.cfg only the default ships appear there--How can I cause that to include the Nimitz/Eisenhower (and after that the Enterprise)? Or is this problem caused by something else? (I've checked the gauge, effects, and simobject/boats folders; all the expected files are there. And I've confirmed that the contents of both aicarriers.cfg and cvn_68_69.cfg are correct.
Maurice Pratt:
<Solved> This is embarrassing . . . AICarriers was working all along! It never occurred to me to drag the bottom edge of the AI Ships screen down (below item 7). Guess what, more ships and "Next page" is there.
