I haven't tried it in FSX yet but I checked the model and it is native, all ready to be added to AICarriers!

She has all the bells and whistles so you can trap and launch with any plane that has a tail hook and launch bar!

Another carrier to crash and burn on!

The problem with this FSX French Aircraft Carrier is that there is :

no FSX Super Etendard
no FSX Rafale Marine
no FSX Hawkeye
no FSX Dauphin / Panther

to use with it

Fortunatly, this Charles De Gaulle is also available on an FS9 Format

and there is

FS9 Super Etendard
FS9 Rafale Marine
and
FS9 Dauphin / Panther

to use with it

It's a static model for sure & doesn't have the AI model file in it or AI Carriers config edit. I am guessing it is not set up for Acceleration Wires & Cats?

I have the Clemenceau in AI Carriers and love it but as noted here there are no good French Naval Aircraft available for FSX that are good. I know a couple are on the way. The Crusader.zip FSX version crashes every time I try to land it on the moving deck no matter what descent rate I am at! So, for now, great French Carriers and few options of Aircraft.

Try this link http://joel.maillot.free.fr/Veh_PAN_CDG_R91_V1.0.exe
Thats the one I downloaded and it is defiantly NOT static.

Sure wish I could understand French, there are some great looking planes and ships that I would love to have.

**deathfromafar** · April 30th, 2009, 16:19

Simkid22, thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction there. The one I downloaded was for addon scenery and I missed this one. Anyhow, I tested it with the acceleration F/A-18 and all was well. Wires and Cats worked perfectly! Thanks again.

Sorry Bjorn but the Crusader never flown on the Nuclear powered
Charles De Gaulle aircraft carrier.

Last French Crusaders were out of services many many years
before the Charles De Gaulle went operational.

French Crusaders flown of two smaller diesel powered AC
named "Clemenceau" and "Foch".

Free to you "to be or not to be" historically exact in your FS passion
but...

If you want to use a Crusader in a historically correct environment
I recommend you to try Brazil Sao Paulo A12 Carrier ( Fs9 ) with the
Fs9 Crusader.

Sao Paulo A12 is in ( historical ) fact the french navy ex-Foch.
And you can also use it with Razbam Brazilian AF-1 A-4 Skyhawk
that are themselves ex-Kuwait A-4KU.

As much as people will snipe and whine as soon as I mention the publisher, but Abacus do a FSX native French Navy AS565 Panther. The panel leaves a bit to be desired, but the model is quite passable and as I said, it is native.

Inside the french text file you can sense what you need to cut and paste into AI Carriers.cfg. It works fantastic.

Nice pics of a 2006 steaming exercise in the Med with the Ronald Regan and
the French Nuke Charles De Gaulle R91. She is over 850 Foot X 221 Ft. I remember back in the day when the US navy had carriers that were 850 ft + and were considered big.
We even launched/Recovered A-3 Whales on them i.e. Uss Hancock and USS Bon Homme Richard.

You can get the whole Charled D gaulle experience here http://www.abacuspub.com/catalog/s751.htm
It has the Raphale Marine fighters,, The carrier and even the very first actual (Shoot em down) combat for FSX.. I know as I built the carrier and made the weapons.. This is (NOT) for the hard cores.. however.. If you are a regular normal person and like gaming then this is for you...

Those carriers look gorgeous!
Do they work in DX10 Preview?

Replying with quote here
If you mean the Abacus carriers... Yes my carriers for them (Carrier strike force/FD5/FD6 and the updated FD4 USS Ronald Reagan are 100% DX10 compatible.. The aircraft are not though..I did my thing though.. My FD6 carrier is also fully acelleration fsx gold compatible..like Thrawns... All the stuff such as auto cats and wires.. I was the one that found the aces (Typo) on the attachpnt for the cats by using a hex editor..thus making all other carriers workable for launches

**vora** · April 1st, 2011, 23:16

Thanks alot for the complete response... I guess you just sold a copy of "Carrier Strike Force".

I'm all for the ships, the airplanes do not really interest me at that level. I'm patiently waiting for MilViz's AV8B and Rollus' Raphale while doing traps with Sylvain's tremendous Etendart.

Looks like we "3-wire nerds" owe you (ACE typo), thanks for that!

I can trap a bird on the De Gaulle but not cat launch, what's the secret?
I use FSX with Accel ....

I launch from the Reagan (Abacus 4) and trap on the De Gaulle but no steam for a
cat shot. Deck is not long enough for a deck launch, almost...

Yeah I liked doing the carrier strike force..as it was 3 nations that do carrier work for real around the world.. The US..British and France.. France guys are doing a killer job right now with the Charles D Gaulle.. I got to talk with some of their pilots.. They are true patriots in those Rafhalem planes they have.. The ace typo came by working on FD6 though.. I wanted to do an acelleration compatible carrier on the side for FD6 and it was all a go.. but I had one or 2 cats that would not work.. We were all in here at SOH at the time trying to figure it out when I by accident found the typo by using a hex editor.. the typo was a simple (Space bar) thingy within the cat attachpt.. The SDK did not have the space part.. Carrier strike force carriers requires 3WireX.. acelleration will not work with it..That is only for flight deck 6.. which is cool too as it has the (Very first) air to air combat dumb gun and rocket system.. I have lately been doing my own (FSX Mission F18) and (FSX TOP GUN) which have the first FSX air to air sidewinder smart missile systems here...

Nope, mine started downloading first try, sorry!

***fsafranek*** · August 4th, 2011, 22:31

I've downloaded it twice, way back when Rooster first told me about it and again to make sure it still worked when I posted it on my website. Worked both times. Try again.
