Title: HMS Furious CV - 1941 [4.12]
Post by: asheshouse on March 28, 2017, 03:09:53 AM
Designed in WWI as a Light Battlecruiser and converted to an aircraft carrier during construction.
HMS Furious had a long and distinguished career and although old at the start of WWII went on to provide invaluable service.

Modelling, skinning template and Class Files - Asheshouse
Texture Artwork - Based on profile in Warship Profile 24 by G. Davies and D. Palmer

Installation Instructions:

Checked with SASModActv6.1  -  v4.12 compatible.  Should work fine in other versions except v4.09.

Extract the contents of the two download to a temporary folder on Desktop.
Extract 000ShipAsheClasses folder into the #SAS folder.  These classes must load before any existing ShipAshe$ classes.
Extract the HMSFurious folder into your #SAS folder.
The class files supercede all earlier ShipAshe classes. Do not overwrite these with earlier ship mods.
Check the game still runs ok.
You will find the required text entries in txt files within the HMSFurious folder.
Make text entries in chief.ini and ships.ini and check game runs and HMS Furious appears.
Make remaining text entries.

Folder structure should be: game root\#SAS\HMSFurious\3do\Ships\HMSFurious\  or  game root\#SAS\ShipAshe\3do\Ships\HMSFurious\

Notes:  The model includes "placeholder" damage meshes and textures only. Further work will be required to produce a visually detailed damage model. Collision boxes are simplified.
               The Barracuda aircraft model does not takeoff from flightdecks -- not unique to Furious
               The Avenger aircraft is not able to negotiate the ramp intact. No historical use of this aircrft on Furious is known.

Post by: asheshouse on March 28, 2017, 06:09:03 AM
I must admit, the F-18 was not one I tested.
The ramp relies on a transition slope to ease aircraft onto it.
Whether or not it works depends on aircraft weight and speed.

All historically correct aircraft seemed to work, but not tested with the full range of weapon load out.
Heavier weapon load may require an increase ship speed or stronger wind to take off ---- just like real life maybe. 

HMS Furious has no catapults.

Ashe, in HSFX7+carrier takeoff mod with Barracuda AI start correct from moving Furious.
I tried Default, 2x 250lbs, 3x 250lbs + 60% fuel ... all ok.
Only is there problem that are sorted only first two airplanes. Next planes start from air ..

takeoff AI Barracuda from Furious with bombs

I guess with CTO the aircraft is given a catapult boost. The immediate forward motion overcomes the nose tipping. This is not really a good solution. However if you want to fit more Baracudas on deck you can adjust the _Park hook coordinates in Hull2.msh.  The Baracuda is a pretty large aircraft.

Ashehouse

I tried placing the files, folders and .ini entries in Bat08 with 000ShipAsheClasses and the ShipAshe folders in BAT08 #SAS (In the download the HMSFurious 280317.rar extracts as HMSFurious and I assumed your instructions meant for me to change that top folder name to ShipAshe). IL2 doesn't crash but the HMS Furious does not show up as an object in FMB. Is BAT08's #SAS folder the proper folder for this magnificent beast? or is BAT08 not ready for this ship just yet? or what else might I check?

Thanks for any advice.

I've not tried installing it in BAT so I'm not certain.
The name of the top folder should not matter.
Within the top folder (which you renamed) you should have a 3do folder.
You need to post your logfile to get a clue to what is going on.

Thank you ashe for this FAA must have!


Tried in FMB and in mission (take of and landing will be tested asap). I noted that in your WIP thread is smoke from funnels but in game and in this thread screenies is no smoke. Is this correct?
Title: Re: HMS Furious CV - 1941 [4.12]
Post by: asheshouse on March 28, 2017, 02:24:48 PM
Probably an error. i'll take a look at it.

Bravo and thank you very much !  :)   :)   :)
Very good work !

1- work fine in 4.09 with these archive : https://www.mediafire.com/?sfnt96rxduxvpjp

2- Here is the list of planes I have tested in AI pilot!
The others will be tested later!

Albacore I         ok ! (3 planes)
Barracuda II       ok ! (2 planes)
Fulmar I             ok ! (3 planes)
Hellcat I
Martlet I
Martlet II
Seafire I
Seafire IIc
Sea Gladiator      ok ! (4 planes)
Sea Hurricane Ib
Sea Hurricane IIb
Swordfish I        ok ! (4 planes)
Swordfish II       ok ! (3 planes)

3- To avoid a hook assignment error "Vapor" ( *** Bigship: vapor hook 'Vapor' MUST be linked to baseChunk) it is advisable to delete all lines [Hooks] & [HookLoc] in the "Hull3_dmg.msh" file!

No smoke, Can land aircraft ok but can not take off with aircraft
in both BAT or HSFX, as soon as game loads plane either explodes
or shows up beneath the deck then explodes.

Works in my BAT WAW. You must load folders above the BAT class folders for mods to work. The classfiles for this ship will load above them as is but I renamed the folder to    ! HMSFuious     so that it loads above the BAT class folders. I just tested and a Swordfish shows on deck and took off on auto pilot, didnt have my stick hooked up at the moment, I can confirm that I have no smoke from rear funnels.

Yes, I moved the files, folders and .ini's out from BAT08  #SAS and into #WAW2, loaded high and all works fine - take off and landing. As with others no smoke.

I guess with CTO the aircraft is given a catapult boost. The immediate forward motion overcomes the nose tipping. This is not really a good solution. However if you want to fit more Baracudas on deck you can adjust the _Park hook coordinates in Hull2.msh.  The Baracuda is a pretty large aircraft.
Look's that barracudas start normal, without catapult. And takeoff without problem. (in my HSFX7 install)
I can't see any immediate forward motion. First plane start with tail on board, after several seconds give nose up and on jumping platform jump in the air and continue in flight .. retract gear. All looks normal on my side. :) But maybe is there any difference, HSFX can have any differ things in EM and FM.

Yep, I try sort the hooks for this bombers. Thanks for hint.

Uninstalling the Long-Hulled Essex pack fixes the 70% CTD with HMS Furious.
My question I guess then is, are the "ShipAsheUSS" classfile ships (IE: the Long-Hulled Essex pack) incompatible with the new classfiles from Furious?

Am on 4.12.2 w/CUP-WAW.

That one bug aside; its another really beautiful ship; hence why I want *all* of Ashe's warships.
EDIT:
Disregard above; Completely replaced all my classfiles; double-checking I had the latest ones, and now all Ashe's carriers are coexisting nicely!

Glad to see you got it fixed Ace162. For reference, the ShipAsheUSS$ classes are completely separate from the ShipAshe$ classes. In addition some models include new gun classes. Overwriting with the latest classes generally sorts any problems. In the future I'm intending to separate the model files from the class files to simplify installation.

I guess if the Skua was to make an appearance I would be obliged to dust off and polish up this old model.

In theory it gave an improved field of fire forward. In practice any benefit was marginal. The succeeding Leipzig Class reverted to the normal centreline arrangement.

I was contentedly sailing this ship over the past few days launching a single 1940 Swordfish with 1 torpedo off the deck. Today when replaying the mission the Swordfish (both 1940 and 1936 versions) spawned half off the deck onto a gun emplacement (see image) needless to say when the chocks were released it fell into the sea. I applied your latest deck sizing patch and also tried reverting to the original. In either case the aircraft spawned half off deck. Any thoughts on what may be the cause? The Gladiators, Fireflys and Barracudas spawn correctly.

Thanks again for this handsome carrier.

I cant replicate this on my install.
Can you confirm what you mod setup is? -- what version?
Relevant added mods --- cat mods, chock mods etc?

Can you post your .mis file?

Anyone else got this problem?
Title: Re: HMS Furious CV - 1941
Post by: asheshouse on April 03, 2017, 09:02:59 AM
I have now successfully replicated the problem.
It only occurs with certain combinations of number and type of aircraft.
I'm not sure exactly what the critical arrangement is yet.

For a quick fix adjust the y coordinate in the hooks Park03, Park04 and Park 05 to shift the spawn point further inboard.  --- These are found in Hull2.msh

The previous patch shifted the spawn point out in response to other requests, but perhaps this was overdone?

Post by: mechanic on April 03, 2017, 02:40:09 PM
Thanks for the quick fix instructions but just when I was about to go in and try to shift the spawn point inward,  BAT10 came along and adopted your HMS Furious (and rightly so). I am still having the spawn point problem with the Swordfish in BAT10 but now I do not know where to find the model file folder with the hull2.msh to edit. I don't normally dig around in the guts of BAT but for some reason I feel compelled to do so with this ship and this plane (if for no other reason than to educate myself). Can you (or any other reader)direct me to where the 3DO/Ships/HMSFurious folder resides in BAT10 for HMS Furious - or should I just leave this to the professionals and fly a Gladiator ;D

Had an odd occurrence on the Furious when landing the Fulmars. I'm playing BAT up to EP10. When using the AI on landing the Fulmars lands nicely, the wings fold smoothly. But the plane turns to port and taxis right over the side. I usually try my initial landings with the AI to get a handle on airspeed, flaps, etc, before trying to land manually. I had a flight of four planes, and each one landed successfully and taxied over side. Manual landings work a dream. I just have to fold wings and taxi forward.

Propnut27 ---  Do you get the same happening if you change HMS Furious to HMS Illustrious in your *mis, with the ships set to the same speeds?

mechanic --- if you keep the Furious model files in #SAS then they should take precedence over the BATEP10 files. So any edits you make to Hull2.msh should be effective. You can probably disable the folder with the Ashe classes though since Monty has those included in BATEP10.

Asheshouse,

All is good and centered - with funnel smoke and all. Thanks for the tip - I cut and pasted the Parts 03-05 from the original hull2.msh model into the revised patch model.

Tested three other aircraft on the Furious: the Swordfish, Sea Gladiator, and the Firefly. All stayed on the flight deck until the landing protocol timed out. Only the Fulmar taxied over the side. It did the same thing on the Illustrious. I guess I just never noticed it before.

Its a fault in the core game programming. The stock models have a parking area defined. The aircraft should taxi there after landing and apply chocks before despawning, i guess, but they dont. Its above my pay grade to fix this.

I installed all the previous ships of Asheshouse and all work perfectly .. long ago I had surrendered but now that seems to be completing the Kriegsmarine I would like very much to include the Furious in the fleet ...

Can you advise what these numbers should be?  I applied the fix with the swordfish, and that worked fine.

I tried a group of Skuas and 2 out of 4 blew up, but not the leader's plane which I was flying. 

Just wondering.  I do love this game and these ships.  Please forgive my ignorance.
