Any way to start missions from a carrier?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows where you unlock this feature so that 'Stangs can start off carrier decks from the beginning of a mission? I know it's not historically accurate, but to me - it's not a big deal really. And if I can change this thing locally on my end, it won't interfere with those who want everything historically accurate on their end.

And then of course there's more aircraft we could have fun with - the Sabre, the Mi-8...

Here's how it's done. It's not THAT hard really, a few tries and you're an able naval aviator;)

About carriers: They have no comms, you can't repair your aircraft on them but they're really fun to work with. And that's why I'd be happy to know where you switch this thing "on" for aircraft.

C'mon now everyone - NAVY! NAVY! :pilotfly:

I'm sure F/A-18C will make this much easier. That, and I'm hoping a Corsair springs to life at some point.

I just made a mod for you that lets the P-51D take off from carriers. It works with both the Vinson and the Kuznetsov. Just copy the attached file to DCS World\Scripts\Database\planes

P-51D.lua

Dude, I was up last night comparing the S3 lua and P-51 lua...found it!

But BIG thanks anyway. I just got lucky, had I've been just a tad more lazy I'd never get hold of this. The funny thing is, you gotta be picky in which way you want to spawn. If I remember correctly, spawning on ramp will set the 'Stang burning ;)

BUT IT'S ON NOW - GO NAVY!!!

@Zilch: The old Corsair is THE most brutal aircraft ever made, it's just badass all the way :)

EDIT: Oh yeah, now I gotta get the repairs working. So far I've only been able to repair the Mi-8 on a carrier. The Huey can start a repair but then it will drop through the deck =##@/€#!!!

Well, that's normal. It has to be taken down to the hanger deck for proper repairs, now doesn't it. :D

Yeah, the first second I saw that animation I actually thought something like "Wow, look at that - they're takin' her below deck! WOW man..." and then followed by "NO NO NO WTF?!"

Nothing is easy anymore ;)

UPDATE!

The 'Stang goes full Navy

Now I know this is just wrong and not historically correct, but when do you think we'll ever get a Wildcat or Hellcat or Corsair?

Me, I think this is a great way to get started ;)

very neat..
