USN and USMC Herks package by MAIW

[bigfoot]

I've been having these harddrive space isseus. Therefore i've been deleting a lot of special registation texture en assigning them all to one specific base texture. No problem here.

But during this proces i found out that in the WoA_HTAI_C-130H folder created by this package, a lot of texture folders are'nt assigned in the Aircraft.cfg. This package adds some 40 aircraft folders. But i found only 10 assignment in the cfg. These where all "Reach" aircraft and not US Navy aircraft.
So i thought there must be a packages which just overwrites the aircraft.cfg instead of adding it's aircrafts in the cfg. Because the first package that i installed was this us navy marine herc's. So someother package that i installed after this one overwrite the cfg. But i can't find out which one it is.

The folowing entry are the 10 aircraft's from the packages who overwrites completely the original aircraft.cfg.

title=WoA_HTAI_C130H_RCH_XX_39
title=WoA_HTAI_C130H_RCH_XX_40
title=WoA_HTAI_C-130H_RCH_XX_142_84-0206
title=WoA_HTAI_C-130H_RCH_XX_142_84-0208

title=WoA_HTAI_C-130H_RCH_XX_156_93-1454

Hi Victor,
That was a problem with the WOAI installer. New packages were overwriting the aircraft.cfg. That is the reason why we went to the new executable format. I'm sorry to say there is no fix.

Hi Victor,
I think that you are trying to find out which packages those aircraft are from. If that is correct then there are two the MAIW USAF Seaboard ANG and the MAIW Dyess AFB B-1B Package.

If you were to download them and install them manually, i.e. install them somewhere safe, then you will be able to copy the necessary entries across to your FS9 folders.

I hope this helps.

Hello all,
I think I'm having some issues with this package... definitely my mistake because I usually put the aircrafts of the same type into the same folder... how many Hercules do you have at Miramar? I can count only 3 with 6-balde props!

[Firebird]

Well there was a statement somewhere that says to make sure that you don't use the Top Gun package afcad with the USN/USMC Herks as not all the birds would show up, due to parking restrictions. This isn't your problem is it?

There are a total of 12x C-130Js in the package so that's the max that you should see there.

Thanks, Firebird!
I don't have the Topgun package aircrafts but I extracted the scenery from it.
I'm sure I made some mistake in removing some Herc... I'll check and let you know!

[james84]

I think I sorted it out: both aircrafts and flightplans seemed installed correctly, so I checked the afcads: there were two afcads for Miramar on my PC, both from MAIW. One was meant to be used with the default scenery and was accompanied by an exclude file, the latter was for the scenery included in the Topgun package, which had only 3 parking spots big enought to host a Herc or bigger aircrafts. I removed the default ones and changed the other afcad changing three of the cargo spots in order to have them bigger... let's see what happens!

[james84]

Done!
It was all about the afcad that couldn't host all the planes!

[Firebird]

Glad my memory held up.
Good to see that your problem is solved.

I will gladly share the afcad file if you are interested, just PM me.

James,

Please understand that the MAIW NAS Miramar AFCAD included in the MAIW TopGun package, not the MAIW USN & USMC Herks package, is a retro AFCAD and represents NAS Miramar during the time of TopGun, not the MCAS Miramar of today. That is why it intentionally had limited parking for larger AI aircraft and why it was never claimed to be nor distributed as an MAIW MCAS Miramar AFCAD. The MAIW USN & USMC Herks package included an MCAS Miramar AFCAD and that is the one that should be used.

Thanks,

Mike

Understood!

Hint: If you leave TOP GUN flight plans for the f-14's that fly to fallon it will not interfere and give you some decent f-14's in your sim. Use the Herk's afcad and scenery.

No issues, other than my lame working of the old WoA program. I accidentally deleted the old package and re-installed, and of course got the issue Victor mentioned above with missing aircraft.cfg entries for both HTAI C-130H's from this and Maxwell AFB packages. I'm just in need of the fltsim.xx entries for both .cfg's. Thanks in advance.

[lewis]

Here they are.

[maddog65]

If you want to keep the package up to date because of BRAC, VR-62 moved from NAS Brunswick to NAS Jax

[Victory103]

lewis you are the MAN, thanks!

MD, yes sir I moved them about the same time they moved real world, and moved the P-3 squadrons from Brunswick in the old pre-MAIW New England Mil package. After writing all missing .cfg entries down, I didn't realize some VR squadrons had so many Herks.
