Multiplayer Carrier Ops - Nimitz

<< < (9/19) > >>

Orion:
There we go!

Got aerial refueling working ;D!

Now back to those cameras... :P

GOONIE:
Check out Microbrewst video of pitching deck, pretty sweet!

This would be a great option for carrier ops IMHO, very challenging, and it sounds like the ball is stabilized.

Also, thanks for working on adding an aerial tanker, just curious what aircraft was added?

There is a nice free AI KC-135 with an extended drouge for navy aircraft to refuel, here's a pic



Orion:
Sure, I'll look into the pitching deck.

At the moment, I'm just using the default 737, but I don't really want to use another aircraft because it would depend on yet another addon, and I don't want to be installing too many extra things to everyone's computer.

Anyone want to be able to refuel on the deck of the Nimitz?  If so, where on the carrier should I have people stop for fuel?

Orion:
Not to double post, but I believe all requested features are working now, aside from the pitching deck :).

Only thing I'd like to do now is add a spot to refuel from on the Nimitz, but I don't know where on the carrier I should let people refuel from :P.  Once that's done, it's just the reward(s), briefing and graphics ;D.

SpazSinbad:
Orion, (not being USN or US citizen I don't see USN carriers much - if at all) so I have been googling to search for an answer to your question. Possibly there is no spot to refuel an aircraft except where they might be ranged ordinarily. In other words 'the aircraft do not go to the fuel' "the fuel goes to the aircraft" via long hoses manhandled around the deck by the tireless 'grapes' (aircraft refuellers in their purple flight coats designating their job). Perhaps not every spot on a large US carrier deck can handle refuelling due to the limited hose lengths but probably most of the used 'spots' where the aircraft are chained ordinarily will be in range of these hoses. Someone else might have a better more specific answer for USS Nimitz though.
