Hey hey, a nice big carrier for me to sink, sweet. Big thanks. And yes, the link works.

Proxy server at my office just reacts on esSEX and doesn't alow me to load the file with name containing SEX :oops:

@ Cdre Gibs

Thanks for the new Carrier.

The readme Englishnames.txt file mentions the wrong folder for the relevent .cfg (it mentions Roster folder whereas I found the .cfg in the Sea folder). Just wanted to point this out.

One question. Will the carrier appear in my campaign (once US enters the war ofcourse)? I am using HT 1.47.

P.s' Never thanked you for the Torpedo fix and the additional nice .tgas for the torpedoes. So thank you, that was great work, and surprisingly not many know about it.

Nice Carrier, Now I know this has been answered before but I can't find it (even knew how to do myself but forgot how) but how do I put this carrier into the campaign?
I thought I could change some of the entry's for the US Bogue class carrier to Essex Class any other suggestions?

Like I said, we NEED a Pacific mod for this game. Just imagine all those AA guns going like in "Victory at Sea", flaming tons of Zeros...

Is this multi-skin capable?

Method 1). is to open either/or both the Scripted layer and/or the Randon Layer MIS files with Notepad/word and look for a entery of a USN Carrier. Change the Group Name to say ESSEX and then Change the Actual Ship to CVUSSEssexCV9.

Method 2). is to open either/or both the Scripted layer and/or the Randon Layer MIS files with the Map editor and swap the ships over and again change the group name.

Method 3). is to open the Editor and make a NEW MIS file called say ESSEX. In this all you would do is make a NEW Group called ESSEX and add its escorts and plot waypoints to and from where ever you like and set its Day/Month/Year of entery. Then Save the ESSEX.MIS file to a Temp folder. Now open the SCR layer and select MERGE, browes to your ESSEX.MIS file and open, then save as SCR Layer. You now have added the ESSEX group to the SCR layer.

The best bit about Method 3 is that it wont replace any prior Group/ship but add a completely new Group and ships to your game. Also it will allow you to use real time WWII Dates and Courses (for those inclined to do so) to your Essex Group. Plus you can add multiple groups by the simple act of Numbering them and giving them different entry dates.

PS: Ohh btw in the Roster Folder/CVUSSEssexCV9.cfg you will find this:
[Unit 1]
Name=USS Essex
DOC=19421231
DOD=19541215

[Unit 2]
Name=USS Lexington
DOC=19430317
DOD=19470601

[Unit 3]
Name=USS Yorktown
DOC=19430516
DOD=19681231

[Unit 4]
Name=USS Bunker Hill
DOC=19430524
DOD=19460101

[Unit 5]
Name=USS Wasp
DOC=19431124
DOD=19551010

[Unit 6]
Name=USS Hornet
DOC=19431129
DOD=19460101

They are the entry Dates of all the Essex Class Carriers. Use those as your in game start dates. Also when you add the Carrier to the game via the Map editor, open this file and Copy the Ship names from that file and in the editor paste it into the field when your adding a ship that says ShipsName. That way you wont be sinking the Essex all the time per say (If you do indeed sink it that is). :D

Thanks for the info will do that

Did a simple mission complete with escorts carrier was great but how did some of the escorts end up like this?

And prey tell where is your master piece ????


Silence was the reply.

Don't bother with Anvart. I have noticed he trolls like this in other Mod threads. He did the same thing in Fubar Sub skins mod thread. Dissed some really nice models by Fubar who's skins are considered top notch by the community as a whole.

Its one thing to criticize, with valid reasons and arguments, and another to simply post such useless trolls.
