Aircraft carrier shenanigans

20.9k TemporaryReplacement  1.6 years ago

Soooo I’ve spent the past few days doing what I love, steali- modifying other builds. Except this is a forum post so it really doesn’t matter.

Anyway, I modified Blyatnov’s really good looking Independence to carry aircraft, giving it elevators and a hangar. XML wise, and generally this is extremely simple, and has certainly been done before (I took a lot of inspiration from Bogey’s USS Bataan and it’s aircraft controls after winches got t o o annoying) And the aircraft aren’t even mine. (SBD by Blyatnov again, TBF by pancelvonat) But here photo.

Both elevators work (clearing the flight deck for recovery)

Moving the two still broken SBDs to the front to clear space (they move around deck using throttle and a gyro)

Slightly crowded…

All aircraft (except for last 2 SBDs) work properly btw, just too lazy to use them lol

In conclusion, this post was a waste of both of our times
