There should be a hotkey that releases the wire, I forgot which one though.
I've stopped arma 3 modding a fair while back, Peral has the mods now.

Are you working on this anymore? I appreciate all the enhancement from the original Nimitz mod but there's a fatal bug about the arresting wire, which keeps me using the original one.
Currently, the wires work like the original mod by chance, while it doesn't show up just like in the USS Freedom carrier in the most of carrier landings, and the former scenario is devastating if you're in an aircraft other than F-18, because there's no option to release the wire.

Здравствуйте! Подскажите, пожалуйста, как сделать( перенести с Nimitz на Freedom) Deck crew Animation, при старте самолета с Freedom? То есть копия Nimitz, но на Freedom!
Через scenario (Deck crew, например) - не получается(((

Back in the day I created this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQewbKhBQxg Not sure if this is the same populate you're using currently - I developed different types over the year.

I copy and pasted both class names with and without strings to the ship

hmm, did you set the class names correctly? The error says as much as that no vehicle was there.

I loaded it with CBA enabled

systemChat str typeOf _veh;
if ( (tolower (typeOf _veh)) find >
17:21:03 Error position: <_veh;
if ( (tolower (typeOf _veh)) find >
17:21:03 Error Undefined variable in expression: _veh
17:21:03 File ttt_nimitzfunctions\fn_parking\fn_parkPlane.sqf..., line 56

Hard to tell without getting the error code. I haven't launched Arma 3 in a while though. Did you load CBA_A3 with the Nimitz?

I'm trying to populate the ship but get an error code whenever I do is there something i'm missing or is it broken currently?

I believe this is from a script I used from Grumpy Old Man, aircraft loadout. Try to set these globally to false in some init after loading the Nimitz:

TTT_fnc_aircraftLoadout_NeedsFuelSource = true;
//(default: true) needs fuel supply within 50m of the aircraft or functions will be unavailable

TTT_fnc_aircraftLoadout_NeedsAmmoSource = true;
//(default: true) needs ammo supply within 50m of the aircraft or functions will be unavailable

TTT_fnc_aircraftLoadout_NeedsRepairSource = true;
//(default: true) needs repair supply within 50m of the aircraft or functions will be unavailable

I've got a question. When the Nimitz mod is loaded, the vehicle ammo box will not work. How can I refill the ammo for the vehicles. Currently only F-18's ammo can be refilled in the service menu.

how do i get the IFLOLS to work on this or does it not work?

Will Wake Be Added?

Nope, no such thing has been added.

Is there wake on ship, like the vietnam era carrier

Did you lower the launchbar with ctrl-l at the cat?

catapults are not working for me

Sorry for the late reply. I am using F-35C by LAR/Hornet.

Which F-35C are you using?

Tetete, I have issues with the arresting gear. The wires won't detach from the tailhook of my F-35C. Instead, I am being pulled back beyond the wires' original position. It's not a significant issue, but fixing it would make the mod more realistic.

CosmoMomen, thanks! I get cat 1 throttle is reset on cat, cat 2 throttle is set to 0 halfway down the cat, cat 3 works. Wonder what's going on :(

Getting different behavior on different catapults...?
Cat 2 effect is alright, it hangs at the beginning and end of the launch a tad, but the launch is smoother for sure.
Cat 3 sets throttle to 0 halfway down the ramp. I liked the bumpy launch from before but that's just my non-pilot gamer opinion XD

I've added a new launch system yesterday, would be interested in feedback on this. How does it look for you?

GamerOnkel, had a test mission on Tanoa and the exact same happened. I raised the mempoints for placing the AA units up front now, let's hope that fixes it.

Ok, the invite was only valid for 7 days. Try this one: https://discord.gg/JYBmsUUjHd

This always happens when I set the Nimitz in the editor, no matter what mission, and the discord link doesn't work :)

I just placed an empty Nimitz on Stratis and the Launcher spawned just fine. Can you share the mission where the problem is exhibited on our discord, https://discord.gg/z24xKqNr ?

The Sea Sparrow has a bug that spawns in the ground

What i used to do back in ofp was to setpos a concrete piece/object just under the deck by 0.1 so player couldnt see it but it would stop the falling thru deck issue.
:)

No, this is a limitation of the mod. What works fine if you add a respawn module to any vehicle on the flight deck, e.g. an empty and unfueled helo (so players cannot fly it away).

i recall that the original nimitz had issues with collisisons. For example, if we had a respawn point on the deck players would end up on the sea. Any way that can be fixed? Or is it fixed on the expiremental build

Feel free to join our discord at https://discord.gg/z24xKqNr for more immediate assistance.

No big deal though. Since the tailhook animation is callable, then it is nothing to add a custom user action to the jet. Should work I think.

What about putting the old code back in for the tail hook. It works ok. And at least ctrl h can be used.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1duUuO-0xLfjT57EidFdM6__GaNjChdp-HBV7xv2laqs/edit?usp=sharing has the code for Experimental at "The new event based launch". I wouldn't know how to fix the tailhook action in F/A-181, I'm not sure if the ctrl-h toggle tailhook is in Nimitz Experimental or only in Arresting Wires.

The DLC drone does work well. No tailhook release without script though. Common code I would guess.

Did some testing. As player or AI the cable did not get hung up on the fuselage; on the hook every time. However, when the plane is on the deck there is not a "raise hook" action available. I think that the system thinks that the hook is up even though it is not. The Tailhook indicator is not lit in the HUD either; therefore, the cable will not detach as there is no way to raise the tailhook. When I put the animations in the Landed Touchdown EH, then the animations will work and the cable is released. (With some spawn delay of course). Can't use Landed Stop EH because the plane will not make it to that point because of the cable. Not a desired way to do it. Need to get the tailhook up action fixed.

Is there a replacement for ttt_fnc_planeStart? Does "landAt" not work either? From the results of earlier testing I think calling TTT_fnc_arrest is no longer necessary?

Craze, I've found the root of the problem. There is a memory for the tailhook defined in the F/A-181, but it doesn't really work. I added this code and it works now:
_tailhookAnimation = (_configPath >> "CarrierOpsCompatability" >> "ArrestHookMemoryPoint") call BIS_fnc_getCfgData;
// override faulty config in F/A-181:
if (_plane isKindOf "Plane_Fighter_01_Base_F") then {
_tailhookAnimation = "tailhook";
};

Fire, I checked and the flight ops function calls TTT_fnc_planeTypes. I'm not sure but you can try to overwrite this function in your mission, if possible, and return an array for a one and two seater aircraft. In your case could both be F-14. Not sure if that's still possible in a3, though.

Thanks men !

Fire, not sure this can be customized, the code is years old and has not been maintained. I'll take a look though.

Craze, glad the regular version works well for you :) I'll peek at the F/A-181 tailhook stuff, I might have fixed it in the Arresting Wires mod already, not quite sure.

Using the Rory Nov 7 update, and after reading the script commands manual, and after playing around with it. The AI land great. Awesome work. Can use [_plane] spawn TTT_fnc_tailhookUp; to disconnect the cable after landing. It pays to know what you are doing (me), and to read the manual over and over.

Hey TeTeTe3, thanks for your Carrier Mod. I still like it a lot more then the "Jets DLC Carrier". I have a question. I used the "Ambiance" Module with Flight Operations and it worked fine.

But i would love to use the F14 in those Flight Operations. Is there any way to let the module use the F14 instead of the Super Hornet ?

You need to subscribe to it here at the Description tab. Good luck.

how to get the aircraft carrier please?
knowing i have the jets dlc

I usually test with the F/A-18 beta, very rarely wit the F/A-181 of jets DLC. However, I would expect that the F/A-181 from jets DLC will work, minus the rope attachment point to the tailhook.

I think I tried everything, but maybe not. It was the vanilla F18. I seen it happen twice with vanilla jets. AI landed one, and me the other. Unless you will not support the vanilla jet, I will try again and get back to you. When the rope did that, I gave up and went back to the stable version. Maybe I will use/try the F/A18 mod.

Craze, did you raise the tailhook, I believe ctrl-h is a hotkey keybind for it? When the rope is in the fuselage, then the tailhook or whatever mempoint is probably not animated or present in the model. Which plane did you fly? F/A-181?

Coolest mod ever. The rope gets hung up on/in the fuselage. Can't get it off. When the arresting system resets, the rope will drag the jet back with it. I made a cockeyed landing and that happened. FYI. You probably knew that. But yea the rope thing is pretty cool.
