Just purchased and downloaded/installed. Love this program. I do have a question - I've seen screenshots (I believe), that shows aircraft parked on the LHDs or LHAs or both, but when I select a formation to use in aicarriers, I get the proper formations but no aircraft visible. Am I missing something or does this not show under aicarriers. would love to have the aircraft on the deck. (I do notice in the LHA file texture, the aircraft are there.
Thanks, Hawkdriver

I assume the developers look at this forum from time to time?

There was a point during development when we had full aircraft formations on deck, and in fact, multiple formations. The idea was to provide a control panel that would allow the user to select the formation that they wanted for that class of ship.
The downside to this is that your ship will have the full aircraft formation still on deck while parked in port. That is something I wanted to avoid -- most of us (myself included) would feel this is highly unrealistic, and in places like San Diego, Norfolk and even Pearl, it might create some performance issues.
So it HAS been done, and it could be done again, but right now I am looking at other possibilities. Maybe we'll go back to that as an interim solution. At the time I was pretty intent on having multiple repaints (numbers and squadron insignia) for every type of aircraft and helicopter, and that would be a TON of work. I wouldn't be able to do it myself, I'd need some repaint talent to help out. But if we were content with one or two squadrons for each aircraft type, at least in the beginning, then we could do this and add in repaints later. Not impossible.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the unrealistic point of view for which you speak. Could there be a future update with a model/texture of a LHD/LHA with a generic group of rotary wing/fixed wing to use with say: aicarriers? Thanks, Hawkdriver (former Blackhawk driver)

I like the idea of a generic group that could be... repainted and switched out as needs require. Worth paying a little extra for too!

The models are the models regardless of how or where rendered -- by AI carriers, by AI traffic or by VRS tacpack scenarios or whatever nifty tool you use to place them. The only other answer is to just have more than one objects by renaming the model. Meaning we could have LHD Base with an empty deck being used for traffic, and then we can have LHD Detailed that is available for use by other means, such as AI carriers. That could be a viable workaround.

OK! Sounds like a good workaround. My hand's raised for a LHD Detailed!! Thank you Sir

I second hawkdriver! :-)
Time the LHDs got the same TLC as the Nimitzs! We are SO CLOSE!

Well, look, let's not elevate these ships to Javier status, even in our imagination. These are AI ships that perform well and won't kill your machine when you fly over a group of them. But we will do what we can do.
Updates will come and they will be free for all those that invested already. We will raise prices for new customers later, after the improvements are made. No timelines.
