Can you guys tell me what you are using to extract the "rar" file. any freeware programs? Perhaps this is my issue.

Jim

I downloaded somthing called SuperNZB today since my system would not unzip the downlaod.

I can just look at it all day....

What a truly amazing piece of art - its almost miraculous.:ernae:

**heywooood** · June 15th, 2009, 20:35

I had a hard time understanding why I couldn't find it in the sim....I installed Aicarriers using the auto installer but could not for the life of me figure out why I couldn't find any carriers in FSX -

Then upon rereading the F'n readme - I realised I was looking in the wrong place.

Its not in the 'add scenery' directory no - you have to go into a free flight...then right click the mouse and uncheck 'hide menu bar'

on the far right it should say 'addons'

click on that and there are the Aicarriers and Groups....cool - be sure to go through all the options - there are many - now close FSX

then you open your Nimitz rar and put the files where they belong per that readme and you are good to go.

If this is remedial for some - sadly it wasn't for me...and maybe it will help someone else

this carrier and the Aicarriers program is worth the effort - far and away the best addons for FSX to date and maybe for a long time to come IMO.

I'm floored by the detail and the deck options,This is a Naval Aviator's dream!!
Works wonderfully with Dino's new version 1.85 T45 Goshawk!

***noddy*** · June 15th, 2009, 23:21

Great shots PRB, would be good to have a RA-5 Vigilante to go with that.

Javier,
please can you tell me if the version that's now at flightsim.com is the updated one or the original. At over 100 Mb and only 30 Kbps (at best), I really don't want to have to do this twice,
thanks in advance,
Ro

Javier, thanks again for these beautiful ships! Love the Airboss and Miniboss chairs and the chalking on the window!

Have you ever considered doing a slightly older deck layout with tomcats for example? Just a question, no worries, I'm really happy already!

Yes is the same version, but they only accept ZIP files at fligthsim (ZIP is larger than RAR package due to less compression) Yes, I´m considering a future version with Tomcats and a 80's airwing version, but it will take some time.

These sites that only accept .zip files are really living in the past, with things like winrar and 7zip, you can achieve so much better compression, there must be something I'm missing to why they don't accept other compression methods.

**navychief8** · June 16th, 2009, 06:57

Will you also still consider doing a CVN73-75 version with the older round main mast

Particularly the USS Harry S Truman CVN-75.:USA-flag:

Well, not a GPS route but if you obtain Lamont Clarks
"AI Boat Utility" you can create routes for your fleets
using Google Earth and compile the ,files into FSX
traffic BGLs. You will then have your fleets sailing your
routes on schedules that you define.

You can then also place your aircraft onboard a carrier
and save the flight so in the future you can reload
it and start a flight without having to land first.

I use both the AI Boat Utility and aicarriers2.

Rog
go into where the fsx cfg is located
rename the exe.xml
re install aicarriers 2r
its the exe.xml thats giving you an error
i had the same problem but that fixed it
now i cannot use the thumbnail add on
but if you go back and forward to rename
they all work

Cheers H!

***Roger*** · June 16th, 2009, 08:41

Ok, I removed the exe.xml and uninstalled AI Carriers. I then reinstalled AI carriers and a new exe.xml was created. However when I run the application I get the same error message.

Java does not like my Vista machine!

***Henry*** · June 16th, 2009, 08:56

I did the full java install
first
i had the same errors
dont run the app
fsx will run it
just check add ons

***Henry*** · June 16th, 2009, 08:59

im running vista also
i thought that was the problem but its not

**peter12213** · June 16th, 2009, 08:59

***Henry*** · June 16th, 2009, 09:05

The EXE.xml is the starter not the
one in the ai carriers
its been frustrating for me
but at least this ole fart got it to work
if i can anyone can
at least i hope so
id hate it if you where a bigger moron than I
no disrespect
but perseverance does work
good luck
