Hello. Has anyone heard from VooDoo? I am trying to find a backup or copy of his wake and bow spray effects for carriers. Seems his website is down, just wondered if anyone has a backup copy?
Thanks,
Mike A

Here's what I have. Hope that helps.

Thanks, micro. I have that one, but I can't find the read me file. Don't you have to edit or add something to the carrier's config file? What you sent me goes into the main effects folder, right? I know it's a small detail, but it makes it more realistic.
Thank you for the reply!!

Simaddict, you are correct. You have to add these lines (or at least the [Effects] line) to the end of the "sim.cfg" in the simobjects/boats/USS_Nimitz folder.
[General]
category=Boat
[contact_points]
static_pitch=0.0 //degrees, pitch when at rest on the ground (+=Up, -=Dn)
static_cg_height=0.0 //feet, altitude of CG when at rest on the ground
[DesignSpecs]
max_speed_mph = 50
acceleration_constants = 0.07, 0.07 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max acceleration (Gs)
deceleration_constants = 0.05, 0.05 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max acceleration (Gs)
[Effects]
wake = voo_wake_nimitz

That worked!! Micro...Thank you so much!
Happy now!

Glad I could help. ;D

Yes, Pat. It can be used for the default carrier!

Thank you very much, Mike! ;D
Another question, if i may bother you a little bit more: What effect name (I guess it's called) would one use for the bow wave? Like for example, the wake is shown in the [Effects] section as wake=(whatever the right one for that ship is).fx That I can figger out, just pick the right wake for the right boat, no sweat. But to add a bow wave, what do I use for the XXXXXX= part? IE: What do I put in for the X's to get a bow wave to show? I know the right .fx file, that's not a problem, again, but I can't find any info on what goes on the left side of the = sign.
Again, I appreciate the help on this :)

I did just as in micro's post above. In the carriers config, at the bottom reads-
[Effects]
wake = voo_wake_nimitz
-
Ok, just so I am certain, the proper entry for a bow wave is wake=, and that covers both wake and bow-waves?
I read over on the FSDeveloper forums something about "nesting" effects all into one file. I am guessing that's what they did in this case then, to get both bow wave and wake.
Thanks again, Mike. I really appreciate all the help. I can be a tad dense about things sometimes, it seems.

Correct. I noticed that too. It covers wake, and bow. Kind of confusing, but it works!
-
Many thanks again, sir!
That's all I needed to know :D

With regards to Javiers Nimitz anyone know what the default wake files are for all the ships included in his package? Which file within P3Dv3.2.3.16769 is called/used for the ship/s wake?
