Carrier with Mission Commander?
-
Hi,
Since we have those beautiful F-18 but no Carrier in the Campaign I would like to add one with Mission Commander. I’ve been using MC for a long time but never figured out how to set up a carrier. Is there any manual or something similar?

There is a carrier active in the Iron Fortress campaigns (KTO and Strong DPRK) and in the other campaign carrier will be active later, depend the reinforcement value
So no need to add carrier in the default campaigns

But I want one from the beginning
So I guess I have to go and set the carrier from “standby” to active? I will try that. -
May I suggest you have a look in the manuals.

I’m having a similar issue. Following the instructions from the manual I added a carrier task force, then added the corresponding objective, and then a squadron. When I tried to spawn on the carrier deck the flight gets cancelled, but if I frag a package then wait until it takes off before loading up, I spawn in the cockpit. What am I missing?

Have you figured it out ipmasq? The same thing is happening to me. I ended up just moving the already existing carrier instead of adding a new one.

Iceman223 i was having the same issue as you, but got it to work. I first made backups of the original save0.cam save0.tri. when adding the carrier i just copyed all the setting from the already place carrier objective onto my new carrier16 (ENTRPRS); fuel 255, supply 255, radar settings, and ticked SAM, RADAR, GCI. and setting type Airbase - Carrier ENTER. I also set Name ID to Carrier16
Not sure if u need to set all those settings for it to work but i did and it worked.
Good Luck! -

I have indeed!
- IMPORTANT: Back up your SaveX.cam files
- Open MissionCommander
- Open a SaveX.cam file for the campaign you wish to modify
- Select Units Tab -> Add Taskforce -> Right Click where you would like the task force to appear, Select Enterprise, Press OK
- Double click on the new taskforce on the map, open advanced tab. Set Dest X & Y to be 1 greater than the TF’s current (X,Y) coordinates so the ships move around a little bit
- Optional: Set Reinf field to 50 (the existing Carl Vinson does this, but I have no idea what it does)
- Click Apply for everything
- Select Objectives Tab -> Add an objective. In the Type Info box, select Airbase. Sub-type Carrier ENTER (CT 3825). In the Names box, select one of the Carrier# names, except Carrier18 which is used by the Carl Vinson
- Check Has Radar Data, set each slot to 1 so the carrier can see its maximum range. Check SAM, RADAR, and GCI in the flags box
- Select Squadrons tab, add a squadron as normal to the Carrier ENTER
- IMPORTANT: Click Save to overwrite Save0.cam You must overwrite the campaign template file for the carrier to be populated correctly into the game.
- Have some fun!

I just want to say that this really helped however I seem to have a small issue! For some reason I cannot set the tower frequency to match the carrier… Is there something I am doing wrong?
-
No idea… I’ve been having issues with tower frequency as well but it hasn’t bothered me enough to do anything about it yet.
-
That’s fair enough… I’ll try to figure out a workaround! Just a bit frustrating when I can’t remove the chocks haha
-
I have the same issue with the Balkans carrier and an F/A-18C. I tend to just run the engine up to the lowest amount of AB and it removes the chocks.
-
Didn’t work for me but I just tune into the closest frequency and at least let’s me take off! Who needs approach vectors or landing clearance anyway
-
Just for your information. I seem to have fixed the tower frequency issue by manually changing the carrier’s campid under the objectives tab to correspond with the stations+ils.dat file which is located in the campaign save. In the case of the enterprise it is 3700. I then inputted the carriers location under objectives to match it to the unit (both the carrier and objective should show up in the map).
I had to manually change the uhf to the frequency under the manual (227.500 for the enterprise) for the first mission but after that you should be able to set the tower frequency by the set tower button. Seems to be working fine but will carry on testing it!
