Author	Topic: Starting planes from carrier decks
mposis Pilot	posted 03-07- 07:17 PM To enable to fighters to start from the carrier decks the material of the deck LOD should be number 3 representing water instead of 10 representing metal. Don't ask me why. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 03-07- 08:47 PM Spanky here.. Thats soo Wacky. How did you figure that one out? IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 03-07- 09:06 PM You should ask dole. I was trying to figure out why his old Akagi works and mine doesn't. I copied everything in his ascii file and still didn't work so I looked in the LODs. IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 03-07- 09:34 PM That is F-ed up right there. Carrier deck set to water? Hmm I wonder if the actual water in the terrain models is set that way? Then wouldn't we be able to land/take off from it? Hmm... wierd -=TheReaper=- IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 03-07- 11:55 PM For those of us who have no idea how to change what you're talking about, but want to see planes start on the newer carriers- is there a way to walk us through it, or release the PP carriers with this property changed...and also- does this work for both carriers...the Saratoga and Akagi?

mposis Pilot	posted 03-08- 07:18 AM jeeves, Here are the lines that needs to be changed in the carrier LODs: 0fff 1 4 10 10 -1.918495087e-007 0.02974884212 -0.9995573759 0 1 2 3 It should read: 0fff 1 4 3 10 -1.918495087e-007 0.02974884212 -0.9995573759 0 1 2 3 The fourth number was changed from 10 to 3. It should be done to all polygon lines of the LOD. I only tried it on the unfinished Akagi I made. Of course, dole's old Akagi worked from the beginning. I can send to you if you like to try it. I am not going to finish it because I decided to build a different carrier. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 03-08- 08:49 AM Bummer, that still doesn't make my Saratoga (modified new one) work IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 03-08- 05:11 PM Pete, Did you try changing all the carrier LODs? IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 03-08- 05:29 PM Yes, I just double checked it. Still no luck. IP: Logged
