You are welcome and also you are right, the USS CVN78 looks amazing in Vehicle Simulator ! here, after just quick basic steps with Modelconverter x (scaling, rotating, positionig and adjusting materials) : http://chgend.free.fr/vsf/USS_CVN78.jpg Don' t hesitate if you need some help to import this n...

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.
Greetings

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...

Hello Kevin, Strange that you can't see my images : I can see yours and mines ? did you test a right click on and "save as image"? This is an interesting "School case" and I suggest that you train first from scratch with the Mini_Tug in the game : it's a basic and simple model th...

Well done John and thanks for your feedback, I thought you could do that as you used Deep Exploration in the past ! May be can you already post your config files ? We can eventually adjust them as I think we have now 3 models with different origin points.. :) From my side, I has continued the tests ...

Hello Everybody, Kevin : I just discovered with your post that we can correct easily the position of the model with Model Converter X ! To do so , as you have done, I imported again your boat.x into Model Converter X and choose "Transform Object/ Move Object" then move 15 to X and 2 for Y ...

Hello, Sailorjohn : you have the files in the link above posted by Kevin.. I think you can help him with the vehicle.cfg as there are some errors with the ship data and the wave_scale (8). Kevin : Model Converter X must have problems exporting the bounding box but you can try to make one in VSNG and...

Hello, As Sailorjohn said, it's difficult to understand the problem without more informations : type of file for the original model, used software for the conversion in VFS and main handlings with it etc.. As you seem to have been "playing" a lot with the scale fonction, I'll check first i...

Hello, in VSF you can select all the objects in a scenery (drag your mouse over all the scenery with the shift key down) : then you can test to move all of them, by clicking on one as they are highlighted in yellow, to adjust all the block in the new position you want (this can be a little tricky bu...

But you could have one in your PM..

Hi Alexei, :) .. For the Swordfish Floatplane it's ok.. the same FS 2002 model has already one : http://chgend.free.fr/vsf/SWFloat01.jpg So, what else ?.. may be some extra textures for the Floatplane version by Alessandro http://www.mrjmaint.com/RegsHanger/Groundcrew/homepage/CFS2/skins/Swordfloat/...

Hello Everybody, This is a very good idea for improving the New VSF! At the moment, we have to fly straight about 2 or 3 meters above the water as it was often the case in real.. ;) I agree also that this addon is a little gem I just discovered in this post : I made some searching and found it was a...

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..

Greetings

Thanks a lot Alexei for all your searchs and precisions, as usual.. yes, the pushback's physics are important and I discovered also that the wheels 's plane were a little bit down into the Asphalt of the deck which gave the effects of brakes ON ! the tip to see that is there was not any shadow on th...

Hello, @Sailor John : I can't see your image but I understand what you mean.. :) No, the cleaning of the deck was not done with water, but by removing totally the old skids marks to give a new start to this excellent add-on by Javier Fernandez : all credits are for Javier and many thanks again to hi...

Thanks Alexey, but there is still a flickering effect with this famous deck if you watch well.. we had an exchange with Ilan who confirms the bug in the model. I finally found a way to import the model in my 3ds Max and the faulty polygon is the one with the skids marks on the deck : so with some cl...

Hi syrphid and Sailorjohn, happy to see you here : I suspected that there will be some people interested by this post.. :) Yes, I tried these basic tips you just mention but it is more complicated than that because it seems the bug is due to the boat's model itself and not to the congif files.. as t...

Thanks for answering, the strange thing is in fact the bow wave due to the extended (hard but invisible) deck going about 300m ahead.. finally, I found (with difficulty) a way to solve that bug and everything seems working almost normally now.. the bow wave and rear wake are perfect : http://chgend....

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...

Hello Everybody, Andrey : thanks for the link, that's a (big) nice scenery.. :) Sailor John and Victor : yes, I think there are some alphabet changes to do, assuming you have the River_Oka folder in your "scenery" one.. 1- you must edit the first line in the ypa.hdr file (I used Notepad to...

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).

I was thinking you were talking about the Zeppelin balloon before I realyzed it was about the Aircraft carrier.. :) there is a nice model on Google Warehouse : https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/e8b5ddd6a3b6cd8db6ecbbb2e4d05900/German-aircraft-carrier-KMS-Graf-Zeppelin As often with the Sketchup...

Where can be downloaded one of these ships you use and doesn't work ? just to make a test with my VSF and the last update.

Yes, that's right but in Sketchup before exporting, not in VSF : as Sketchup doesn't make animations , I am afraid this is the only way.. The two important points is to name your part doorl (or doorr) in the whole model and to place the pivot axes for that part in good positions in Sketchup : you ma...

You said you are preparing a vessel but wich 3D Model Software are you using to do that ? the procedure to create the animated object will depend of that and also of which type of animation you want, as there are two ways to do it (see my post above) ? the easier way is to have the correct tag and p...

I just tested these commands and it seems they work normally.. are you sure these fonctions are implemented in the vehicle's file you want to use ? If the vehicle.x model has not the correct tags in it ( doorl or pdoorl ) , you 'll see the message and will hear the sound , but sure..nothing'll happe...

Hello, There are two ways to make animations for a vehicle with VSF : make a specific animated file called anim.x and placed in the vehicle's directory (animation with ctrl-A ).. or in the vehicle mesh file itself ( vehicle.x ) , making the parts you want animated with correct tags, for instance doo...

Hello, I read in your message that you are making some tests and I can help you : I answer here as I think it is an interesting excercise which may help some people, as it uses some interesting features in VSF.. for people who wants to make a test, the albatross can be downloaded on this page : http...

I answer to myself, as I tested my suggestion just to see the result and that works.. with all parts animated (even if propellers don't seem to rotate on the instant photo) : http://chgend.free.fr/vsf/albatross1.jpg http://chgend.free.fr/vsf/albatross2.jpg And more, I found that it gives a very nice...
