That exceeds the takeoff speed of most of my smaller and some large scale planes edit Still in 1.0.5 feel free to throw rotten vegetables. Is anyone having issues with ALG and the collider on the lower deck? I have tried about 3-4 times to lower a plane from the flight deck to the hanger then drive it in and park it. Each time I reach the edge of the lift / beginning of the hanger floor and the nose gear falls through like it's not even there. No such issues on the flight deck to elevator and back though. And btw, absolutely perfect on the scale. First plane launch and everything looked exactly the right proportions. Lol yeah, I may or may not be planning a flying carrier. Also, love the vids. 23 hours ago, Eskandare said: Engines are another thing, my goal is to set the curve to limit thrust at 20 + - 2 m/s. The real Nimitz is at max, all ahead full, 18 m/s. ...It does weigh 107,000 tons... Another issue I wanted to report is a reloading issue. If there is an undocked vehicle just sitting on the carrier it will teleport to the bottom of the ocean when you click f9. I saw this on other boat mods, but idk if you can fix it somehow (Did have FAR and Airpark). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this on other boat mods, but idk if you can fix it somehow (Did have FAR and Airpark). This appears to be a problem with 1.1.3., there seems to be nothing that I can do. I think it is because the undocked craft is 'landed', it gets reloaded to the planet surface. The carrier is in a different state 'splashed' where it gets reloaded to the water surface. You could always try putting AirPark on the planes and lock them before leaving the carrier. just remember to unlock them before moving the carrier. I'm working on another solution which is basically the same as the KAS pipe, but with different graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebforce116 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 this mod is cool, some trouble getting it to work but what I really would like to know is, where the heck did you get that dock for the carrier?it looks so cool. still pretty cool though, good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colmo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I wonder how much of Infinite Dice's carrier accessories still work? He made an arrestor system, was working on a catapult, and even made dockable landing gear (found in the ICE mod). It was my idea to use klaw code on landing gear to join plane to ship. @Fengist was in contact with him, not sure what became of that.

Lift #4 Lift #1 It could be something to do with 1.05 and how it handles colliders. That's entirely possible. Well thanks for even acknowledging me on that one. I definitely don't expect perfection when I'm not using the mod as intended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on what he releases.

At first I had a problem with everything breaking apart on vessel load, detonating command pod, as well as the superstructure drooping through the hull. I wound up surface attaching a structural mount with a command pod attached to that to the super structure. Then changing the root part to that new command pod. Also used some unlimited length (tweaked cfg's) struts from the super to the hull. But that's just how I personally put it together. edit I recall a long time ago hearing KSP physics engine has a rough time with anything over 1k tons. So 100k is bound to cause some havoc but overall, once the boat is setup properly (and with the updated rudder) it works great One question. With 4 rudders installed. The ship will gradually speed up in a turn, I think I topped out at 150 - 160 m/s before the Nimitz looked like it was going to tip. Looked freaking cool though!

War Eagle 1 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Just found this and got a few questions. 1. Is infernal robotics needed? 2. Does it have a working catapult? 3. Does it have a working arresting wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebforce116 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 So I didn't know that KJR had updated and will look into getting it, now to try and stop the launches... otherwise this mod is great Also what about that port you had?

No, I downloaded via the spacedock link, dragged into the gamedata folder and then hit "extract all", also the folder structure is the same as your examaple.

As for cruisers, I was initially going to make a couple but Large Boat Parts, adequately replicates that. However it may be something I'll revisit in the future. Maybe after CVX I'll make CGX, hehe.
