That really isn’t helping us Chris! LOL.
You are coming along with me on my research ride. Believe it or not, you all are going to have WAY more fun with this module than I am for the first week because I have a notepad in front of me, and I have to check, open the manual, cross check, write some notes, research what I’m doing wrong, then restart. There is not much fluidity to writing articles unfortunately… I know, cry me a river…but I actually envy you guys for getting to open it up and PLAY it right off the bat instead of having to dissect it for writing purposes.
With all of that said though - this module + terrain combo is just insanely gorgeous.
That’s framable.
I’ll break out my violin…
Hi All,
In its current state, can the CVN be populated? I can’t figure out how to make a “busy” looking carrier. I’m using AI of course. I have also seen screenies of the Russian Carrier w lots of aircraft on board… what am I missing.
By the way. I’m very happy that we have dates now. I can’t wait for the map and Hornet. No more waking up to check every day …
Cheers
I’m not the best with the mission editor…but I was able to place a few other F/A-18s, and an S-3. Of course, they all headed for the catapults immediately, but perhaps you can also set them as static objects. I think I’ve seen other videos with populated carriers…
Can you set them as uncontrolled at ramp takeoff?
Words fail me, that is simply stunning. ![]()
Kinda? LOL… Houston…we have a problem (they slide backwards off the deck…at least when set to uncontrolled…)
Lol!
I also noticed that whatever better “sticky” logic they have for the Hornet with regards to the CVN isn’t the same for the Kuznetsov…you slide around a lot more on that. Guess that’s what happens when you put slippery capitalist pig tires (tyres for Paul) on the Motherland’s steel…!
I would like to have seen Montana…
LMAO!
I should have told you on my first attempt I had four 18s floating in the air. Static objects can’t be put on deck. I want that busy deck feeling. Looks awesome. Who’s the resident mission master?
You have been summoned Sir.
Ok, back to the Harrier…
Hahaha!! I got The reference ![]()

I may be imagining things…but this morning’s EA update makes me think they brightened the IFLOLS further…I felt like I could see it even further out this morning…
whats the status on Aim 7?
Is there a definitive max payload (weapons) for the F/A-18C out there? I swear…I’ve been Googling for a half an hour and I have numbers ranging from 13,700 lbs. to 17,000 lbs…
The maximum I can achieve in the Mission Editor is 10 x Mk-83s (two Mk-83s weigh more than 1 Mk-84) + 2 AIM-7 + 2 AIM-9 = 11,407 lbs.
Will there be weapons after Early Access that will combine to weigh more than that?
EDIT - With 100% fuel the above load takes the Hornet to 47,851 lbs. with a listed maximum weight of 51,899 lbs. in the ME.
