ESzczesniak:
Any word on anyone getting the TACAN/ILS to work on either the VRS bug or the modified Acceleration Hornet. I suppose I shouldn't hold back just because of this, but would really prefer to have the ILS working.
If anyone has it working, any secrets?

In view of all the comments would it not be better to incorporate all the changes into the download and then re-releasing it. I am very interested in buying it but cannot find how to open .XML files so even if I wanted to I cannot make the changes described in this thread.
We have waited this long for a new carrier, another few weeks are not going to hurt. Possibly also the time could be used to make the manual in English more user friendly?
Cheers,
Tregarth

You can open an XML file using Notepad. It's simply a text file.

We used an AI Carriers cfg file and some boat traffic files in the Enterprise package but as soon as you deviate from a straight line elements of the formation can get out of position quickly. I've even seen the Sea King bobbing up and down above the deck.
Since Sylvain will be back from vacation soon so I was going to ask him about connecting the plane guard Sea King to the Enterprise for the versions with aircraft on the deck. That way at least the Sea King will always be in position after the ship turns.
So, I would like to ask this group where the Sea King should be positioned? I've read "Starboard D" but don't know where that is. The easiest way for me to understand where it should be is by viewing the Enterprise and Sea King from above with the Enterprise in the center position of the Sea King position described in reference to the hours on a clock. Straight out to the starboard would be 3 o'clock position. And then how far away should it be? And then how high above the deck?
I appreciate any help you can provide.

It seems that the Plane Guard Helo has more freedom of movement these days. FIGURE 4.3 to follow:
CV NATOPS MANUAL

CATCC shall conduct a radio check with the plane guard helicopter at least every 20 minutes during Case III. Concurrent USW/plane guard helicopter operations may be conducted provided a responsive plane guard capability is maintained during launch/recovery.
4.6.2 Plane Guard Station
The designated plane guard helicopter is “on station” when operating within 20 NM (Day) or 10 NM (Night) of the carrier. The helicopter shall remain within UHF range and monitor the assigned air control frequency at all times.
