Hello guys, our internet was cut for 5 days since Friday :roll: (that telephone company didn't even bother to send someone on Saturday just because they'd have had to pay the workers a bit more, and that even though the whole village had no internet (which also means no wire telephone !) :shock: ) - reason was a rotten mat :mrgreen: . Well, it was finally fixed a few minutes ago, so I'm finally back online ! :D

Yes, that addon exists - it was made by danielHL (by the way, I didn't hear from him for months ? :? ) - I only did a few improvements and added the canvas data dialog. But, for once it is still in beta phase (i.e. you might have to bring up the data dialog through the debug menu item because the notification breaks sometimes), and for the other, I'm afraid it won't work on carriers, only on normal runways ! But I'll try it out.

It was just an idea, if it's not ready we can do somthing else. Looking forward to (trying) to land on the carrier tomorrow, Ysop will need speedy fibers to capture all the accidents...

Yup ! :) But maybe it'd be a good idea to move our sessions to another day- it's already the third time you had to miss it, right ? :(

I'll most probably come in the F15 or the SEPECAT Jaguar. By the way - I cannot find a carrier Roosevelt in my carrier list, but the Foch is positioned off Toulon - did you mean that one ?

USS Roosevelt is sailing near Toulon. Will be the only carrier on multiplayer in this area :-)

You'd better choose an airplane with a hook. Much better for stopping!

And of course we can repeat the event, so Benih has this fun as well.

Ah, MP carrier, okay - no wonder I can't find it in the startup locations in the launcher ! :mrgreen: The F15 has a hook !

Yes.... but it is not intended for carrier landings. Just for emergency stops.

Ah … I didn't know that ! Is there maybe a list of aircraft equipped with a hook anywhere ?

Okay, sorry for the changes, but I've finally decided now and chose the F14b Grumman Tomcat - it has both a hook and catapult launch capabilities and is JSBsim.

Someone talked about gliding next week - so I added aerotowing capability to my Cessna 210 and would be very happy if someone could do a quick test with me after our session today ! :)

I may need to skip today :/

Edit: besides.. I am getting strange lack of transparency and equally strange looking water surface around a carrier.

Does the c210 really have aerotow capabilitys?
Would not have expected that on such a plane.

I can't find any video of a Cessna 210 towing a glider, but I searched for this and found a mention of an installation on the 210 at about 2:15:



So I think we can assume there are 210's with a towing hitch installed. And anyways - why not ? With such a powerful engine (310 HP) it is simply made for this ! :wink:

A bit low, but coming in on centreline.

Waving off is good airmanship.

We had a bit of problem with the settings (LOD?) as mp-carrier showed up as glider, although everything installed.
