USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group 11 Template


----About----

Basically I wanted to create some missions with JDog's Nimitz but it wasn't that immersive when you and your plane were the only two things on the whole ship.

I looked around for a template for the carrier but didn't find one so I made one myself. Might as well release so others can use it.


----Features----

- Carrier Strike Group 11 with proper force composition and formation

- 2 Squadrons of attack aircraft with one in the hangar and one on deck

- 1 helicopter squadron

- Deck and hangar with objects and crew

- Lightweight adaptable template. The barebones style allows you to add the rest of the CSG via community addons and MMA functionality if you wish
  See 'Addons for Further Enhancement' for details.

- Markers denoting the name of each ship and the entire ORBAT of Carrier Air Wing 11

----Required Addons----

JDog's USS Nimitz:

F/A 18 Super Hornet:

US Navy Work Uniform:

----Installation----

Place the folder USS_Nimitz_CSG_Light_Template.utes in the 'missions' folder of your player profile folder. Example - C:\Users\User Name\Documents\ArmA 2\Profile Name\missions.

Load it from the mission editor.

----Mando Missile Arma (MMA)----

MMA can be downloaded here:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8243

MMA allows the user to add weapon functionality to the ships in the template, to the helicopters for anti-submarine warfare capability and possibly to the F/A-18.

MMA is available in addon or pure script form. See the documentation provided with it on how to use.

----Info----

Please check the 'Info' folder for some background on CSG-11 and CVW-11. There's also a text document with useful links.

Pictures of the Nimitz, the CSG and unit insignia are available for you to use if you want.

----Notes----

- There is no addon suitable for the replenishment ship (placed next to the carrier). I've used a frigate model as a substitute.
  Remember not to give it weapons with MMA!

----Changelog----

- Used setPosASL and getPosASL

- Reduced addons required

- Added F/A-18 and US Navy Work Uniform

- Updated CVW-11 information and ORBAT to reflect current organisation

- Some small changes

----Future Updates----

- Add MMA for the ships

- Squash bugs, if any pop up.

----Credits----

- JDog for the kick arse Nimitz

- Franze, John_Spartan, Meatball0311 and any others who worked on the F/A-18

- Mando for all he has done with his missile system

- Nixo91 for the US Navy guys

- Those who provided feedback on the first version

- Those who hosted this template and other addons for the community

It's a template so modify it as you see fit. If you want to release an improved version go ahead, just give credit, you know the drill.
