Ok who's gonna be a genius today?

I've thought about converting CF2 ships to FS2004 (as flyable) for ages and today I finally got around to having a go. Getting it in (HMS Ocean - Not the current one) to FS2004 wasn't that bad. But do you think I can get it to stay on the water? Not a change, does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong. Here's a couple of pics including one of the problem :-(

The first two shots are in slew mode, hence no problem






Kind regards

No worries Dave, that's why this is the only site that I've always stayed with, there's always someone that can help out, or at least try

Kind regards as always

Are you using the cfg / air files that came from CFS2, or have you substituted them from another FS2004 ship?

Hi Dave I used cfg and air files from another ship that had been converted to CFS2

PS bear in mind that this is al new to me

It's probably a contact point issue.
I had a similar problem with an aircraft where it would spring up in the air when loaded. Turned out there was a contact point buried underground.

Ok that's a really good start, thanks very much... any idea how I go about fixing that? What am I looking for? Sorry to ask :-(

Can you post the [contact_points] section of the aircraft.cfg John? Or tell me where I can download the ship, then I can take a proper look at it

Never one to give up and taking clues from what you said I now have a perfectly pilotable HMS Ocean

Many thanks for your help Dave

Kind regards

PS Does anyone know of a good source of 1960's to present day RN ships suitable for conversion?

[John]

I found a few... main WW2, but ok none the less, they'll prove useful for some sceenshots!

Thanks again guys
