Re: Aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford

Hello, I just found an excellent free model on Sketchfab (you can register for free also) HERE
The model (FBX format) can be imported in VSF with Model Converter X or opened in Blender.

Re: "has_deck = 1" option not working?

Hello, Although it is an old post, this is very interesting ! I liked to fly aircrafts with sailing aircraft-carriers in VSF (with landings and take-offs) and this is a very annoying bug in VSNG.. As you said the vehicles can be loaded on other vehicles, but this is not done yet during the "spa...

Hi, John : happy you like the steam pinnace.. it was for fun and essentially to test the model with Blender. This could be a next step as it is very easy to isolate the different parts as props, rudders, helm and weapons and then to add them with a parts.cfg.. ;) Kevin : happy also you can see my im...

Re: Plane problems

As for the Albatross, you have to enter correct values in the vehicle.cfg, then to make some adjustments with the elements.cfg : this is a good plane, in my opinion, the main problem is the fast disk propeller and also it needs rotating wheels plus a Torpedo as main weapon.. :)

Hello, I was looking at this excellent model by Javier Fernandez (from 2012) and found there is an annoying bug with VSF updated, as there is an invisible deck (which supports vehicles eventually) in front of the ship and which goes about 300m ahead with the bow wave : http://chgend.free.fr/vsf/Nimi...

Just tested the Ramon LLULL and as said in the readme, the ramps are activated with CTRL-A and G and work normally in VSF (updated or not).. I don't see any problem and I think that the other commands must not be active for this model as there are specific animations (anim and gear).
