CAG Tips: ========= Giving away secret on Aircraft Carrier building, new carrier w/tower. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok due to the many requests in my email I have decided to share how you make a new carrier and keep the tower... You can only do this for a small number of extra carriers(like 1 so far for the Nimitz or Kittyhawk shape !ha!)... This is how I did it...... I made the Clem into the Eisenhower by changing the shape file in the CLEM.NT file from the clem.sh to the nimz.sh and by copying and renaming the NIMZT.SH to CLEMT.SH thus replacing the clem tower... Thus I have Two Nimits class carriers... Addition editing will be required of the skin files as the towers now overlap the deck edge elevators but this is just a texture fix to solve.. Next to get another Kittyhawk class carrier I simply replace the NIMZ.SH file in the NIMZ.NT file with a new Conn.SH fle(renamed and hexed copy of the KITT shape for Constellation)and replaced the KITTT.SH file in the ~KITTT.NT file with CONNT.SH(hexed copy with new skin of the KITTT.SH file) thus I have two new Kittyhawk class carriers with towers and the Eisenhower... Now to get the Clem back as a usable carrier I simply added another carrier and used the CLEM shape .. The clem shape and tower are hard linked thus you dont lose the tower when you make a new one.. Also to make an additional Clem shaped carrier simply use the XCLEM shape(You will have to copy the CLEM_A.SH shape and rename it XCLEM_A.SH if my memeory serves me) in another NT file and you have two Clem shaped carriers....... So as you can see there is really no mysterious way to make new gains in FA, you just have to do some unorthodox thinging is all..... Just let you imagination wander and you usually end up finding solutions... CAG Hotshot VNFAWING Sim Develoment Center Admin
