Hi Mace, hope you don't mind me askin' , but
I'm having some trouble using the Sharnhorst turret as a cat launcher. Got crane launch no pobs, but I see your Cam launch huricane needs some involved work, some of the stuff on previous water landers is non-essential from experiment. Is this the same for Cam launchers? I really need to know the essentials, I'm a learner lol. Could it be because the turet has a rotational DOF? Any help appeciated, here's the suck up, godamn smart a** thinking up float planes in the first place  ------------------

Dance, good to see your'e getting into the insteresting world of open plane!In order for the plane to start on the ship you first need a starting plate. The Mogami / CAM ship have these, so just cut / paste. To postion the plane on this invisible starting plate you need the edit the mission file using notepad, write, etc and edit the co-ordinates so the plane is over this plate when the mission starts. This involves some trail 'n' error. To achieve a launch from a ship you will need to incorporate a hidden engine that provides a lot of thrust at the start of the take off run. If you look at the seafire in OPS you will see it has this feature. Again just cut /paste 'trigger' foil which shuts down the hidden engine after a certain speed is reached, prop / tailweight and hidden engine. I'll hopefully be finished the Ju-52 floatplane in a week or so, so if you're still experimenting, e-mail me the .sm files cheers mace: IP: Logged |

Much appreciated Mace, I've already discovered 'patience' in finding co-ords for the crane launce I've done for the Arado...ouch  (GT you tested it yet?) will do a bit of reverse engineering on your cam ship to check out these plates.Think I got the engine boost, by disecting your wonderful Sea-Huricane! If I get stuck I'll certainly take you up on that offer of help. I don't know if I'll ever get to build a plane from scratch, still trying to get hold of 3D modeling prog that I can afford lol. But Ops is still good enough for creating these little bits of magic.IP: Logged |
