planes from convoys

[xristoskaiti]

I want to change the beam of flight of planes.... can this make ??
I am interested for bases of air that will be moved with
convoys.... this are easy with cfg bases ...I want the planes
fly only at approach 70- 100 kilometres long!!! many convoys
had the permanent help of air in the end of war period . apology for bad my English :hmm:

yes
you need a notebook/text editor program...

i think you go to sea folder, look for Escort Carrier or Cruiser...
maybe Destroyers too.

open Carrier Ship folder, look for CFG( configuration) file

look at the plane squadrons
copy data for plane squadrons (and plane types-Swordfish or avaenger...)

Open one more ship folder, Destroyer for example
go to Configuration file, open with notepad.

paste the Plane squadrons information into the config file, like on the carrier

save

now the DD has Plane escort, where ever he goes.

if you see a convoy with this Destroyer, he has a plane escort, even if far from land and no Aircraft carrier near by.

...i hope....

i never saw that work, but i added a WALRUS search and rescue/atrillery guidance plane to the British Cruisers and Battleships.

the problem they is it stops it functions
airstrike . I think for mobile airbases that will be placed with mission editor in
convoys . this is easy . I want airbase with planes that will fly near
in the boats . in mission editor you see easily a yellow circle in airbase. I want a small circle near in the boats

There is no way to make an airbase mobile as its a static base
Adding aircraft to ships does work AFAIK ONLY if there is an airbase in range of the ship
So late war when aircover covers almost the entire atlantic you should have a chance of seeing more aircraft from ships
Whether happens or not is another matter
Air patrols\sightings are notoriously fickle in SH3

There is no way to make an airbase mobile as its a static base:hmm:
I saw in cfg airbases MaxSpeed=0.000000.......I placed MaxSpeed=20 . in mission editor they sail as the boats.
that is to say these airbases they do not have planes?

[bigboywooly]

They may move in the mission ed but not during the game
Just ran a couple of missions with a moving airbase and no aircraft anywhere

I thank all you
