Thank you. Works like a charm. For future reference, what does this OLS.mu file contain? If i want to keep using a 10km ranged guidance system, how will this file effect future updates of your mod?
You can keep using it. I don't have any plan for modification.

The Enterprise part isn't included in the 1.1 download, fyi.
Have you checked structure?

Has anyone found a good way to attach planes to the carrier for long distance hauling without risk of slip? Brakes seem to work when locked, but I would like to attach them to be just one ship, perhaps a special docking port for this?
Try hanger MOD in recommend MOD list.

Yes please, I'll totally try out a custom 10km guidance range.
I just noticed you've updated the mod without telling us. Will try 1.1 later today and hopefully a development guidance system.

Here is your 10km version. You need another mod to extend your loading range. And I can not guarantee it will work.

So is that a no?
How about integration with NavUtilities?
It's not too hard lining up with the carrier to land, but instrumentation to line up 10 kms away would be very useful. 2kms is better than no guidance system, but too late if you are more than 20 odd degrees off the flight path.
Speaking of the kraken, I spent a couple hours landing, taking off last night, a few times just before touching down, i had the carrier jump up in the air, flip round and destroy everything on the deck.
Least best part of this mod is the catapults attraction. I hope you're working on it. Maybe a tweakable setting to reduce the attraction like you have for target velocity. Bigger planes aren't too bad, but light aircraft almost always get bashed up bad.
If you really want, I could make a custom 10km version for you, you need to figure out the loading distance yourself. However the proper way to do it is remember the runway direction and line up the target icon on the nav ball. I am working on a softer lining up, it will be weaker but far more stable.

Nice mod.
How can we have the guidance system range increased? Is that something you can tweak or will it increase in range if I use that mod to increase physics range distance. I forget the name of it right now.
Current range is 2km, slightly shorter than the physic loading range. Because I use a trigger instead of scan all the ship, Larger trigger sometimes caught by Kraken
8 hours ago, Enceos said:@flywlyx You can set here, layer 17, and don't forget to name it Editor_UI
Yeah, I tried exactly the same way. I think it is Because the white block is the only collider in the part.

@flywlyx It is possible to make parts of a model appear only in the editor and be invisible in flight. Setting a layer 17 to an object will make it invisible after the launch, so you don' have to tweak the parts after placing them.
Look like setting it in unity doesn't help, shall I use gameobject.layer = 17 to make it work?
Just now, wrench-in-the-works said:Is there any way to make sure the catapult doesn't slingshot the craft around when you touch it? Every time I touch the box, the wheel snaps forwards too fast, overshoots, slingshots back, overshoots, over and over and over until the plane I'm trying to launch explodes. I'm just rolling into it (>0.5 m/s). Am I doing something wrong or...?
Keep brake on will help. I will figure a solution soon.

I cant get the mod to work for me I don't know why. the ship is there just not the Arresting wire, Catapult, and Optical landing system.

All parts are in structural, or you can search their name.

I cant find the major parts (catapult,wires,OLS) in the SPH (v1.2) what do I type in to find them?
41 minutes ago, iplayksp said:every part except the enterprise show up but the enterprise dosen't have the systems
All parts are in structural, their name should be what it is.

So, if I want a raycast work like a wheel, I just need to set it ignore the layer 26?
Edit: turns out magic number 557057 works best, got it from BDA

It really depends on your docking skill. If docking is not a big problem, you could even dock the ship without RCS, 2 piece is a better choice for most cases. Otherwise, single ship is a better choice.

I'm glad you like it

Do you have to install Hyper Edit /VesselMover Continued/Kerbal Konstructs with Water spawn point to put the Aircraft Carrier in the water?
There might be more choice, like put GN-drive on the ship and fly the ship to the sea, 100,000 t is not a big challenge for dual-drive system.
You can find GN drive here :

Rockets also suffer from aerodynamics, take this into ur consideration.

For general, use your mic.

Congrats for the release, cannot wait to test the Enterprise and the OLS.
Maybe Crew Capacity of 300 is too much ? (when using KIS, the GUI is larger than any possible screen).
True, it is designed to hold the pilot for hangar MOD. I will decress it to 5 on Next update.

Best mod to come out this year! Do you think you could make a video showcase of the mod? That'd be awesome! Keep up the great work!
Yeah, a video instruction definitely helps since I didn't properly place the parts coordination, I will prepare one as soon as I fix the coordination problem.

Aircraft Carrier Accessories
Download: SpaceDock
Now including test carriers: CVN-65 Enterprise and Type001 Liaoning.
Also a .craft file included for training purpose.
Spoiler
Carrier for training purpose only, warranty void after launch.
The pack including 3 system at the moment.
Spoiler
Arresting wire
include a hook and a wire. Mount wire to the deck and hook on the plane. Drop hook to hook the wire and retract hook to release from wire.
Install guide: Place the arresting wire on the deck and perpendicular to the runway. Hide the white line under the deck after proper place.
Spoiler
Catapult
is the white block, drive the front landing gear to the white block, the block turns blue after grab the wheel, the block will turn yellow after brake indicate it is prepared. Release the brake to launch. You can brake during the launch to terminate the launch. Switch to the carrier and right click the catapult to change the target velocity.
Install guide: Place the white block on the runway, the white line indicate the moving route, hide the line under the deck after proper place.
Spoiler
Optical landing system and Long-Range Lineup System
Activated automatically after install. Including relative velocity indicator (cyan line)and relative position indicator (red line).
Also, the OLS and LRLS indicator appear at the front of the plane.
Install guide: Aircraft is designed fly through the green window and land on the white block. Hide the white block under the Deck (after the 1st arresting wire) and place the green window at the edge of the deck.
Spoiler
Carrier Launching and Landing System
Lights form the launching/Land Arresting zone. Right click menu to activate and deactivate system/switch between system.
When you start entering the launching zone, it will try to locate you in the middle of the launching zone, the arrows start extend and all the light turn blue. As soon as the ARROW extend to the end, press brake. All light turns yellow, and release the brake will start launch. Press brake again during launch will cancel the launch. Switch to carrier to modify the acceleration in right click menu.
When you entering the landing zone, keep your brake down will have you catch by the deceleration system, and release the brake will terminate the deceleration system and deactivate the system.
System will consume electrical charge to work. Drain rate is 1EC = 1ton*1m/s. Reaction force is also included.
Install guide: Hide the white block behind the back of the launching zone.
Spoiler
Tie Down System
Includes Tie down point Fixed point. Fixed point can link to Tie down point while speed is lower than 0.2m/s. Press "brake" while green chain appear, chain will turn pink and form a rigid link. Each Tie down point could link to multiple fixed point. Adjust Fixed point wire length to get larger sensing range.
Spoiler
Refuel/Reload System
Includes Fuel Cap, Fuel Nozzle and Reloadable Rail. Fuel Cap can link to Fuel Nozzle while speed is lower than 0.2m/s. Press "brake" and pipe will appear and form a rigid link. Each Fuel Nozzle could link to multiple Fuel Cap. Adjust Fuel Nozzle length to get larger sensing range. While refueling, Reloadable Rail will be reload too.

@lo-fi FYI when you're back - about that off-road wheels in asset store - it seems that most of the magic comes from the fact that each wheel uses about 20 (to up to 100) raycasts along its base to create desired effect so I'm afraid it doesn't solve physx/unity problems:

Raycast to the ground in KSP sometimes give ridiculous readings, do you know how to solve this?
