SimpleCarriers
Initial Note:
If you were invited to contribute, it's probably because one of your models/builds is included in the mod. I tried to ask permission from most of them, but I didn't get a response from some.

You can quickly get the link to the respective builds on the website, in the mod's in-game UI.
Note about the mod:
Unfortunately, I didn't have more time to work on it, hence the delay. There are probably a lot of bugs, but the main thing should be working fine... This is a mod that promises a ship spawner and interactions with them, such as combat and landing.
Instructions:
When loading the world, press 'U' to open the SimpleCarriers UI. Then you can spawn, move, destroy, and minimally configure the available vessels.
Features:
- Lights (Turn on after 5 PM)
- Arrest cables
- Catapult (Only functional with the experimental features feature enabled)
You can test it; however, it may only work well with buildings with few parts and simple landing gear; it will be disabled by default in the settings. - Strike Group available (Available on Nimitz, however it will only work if experimental features are enabled)
- Defense weapons and missiles that interact with the player
- Among other features
Regarding armaments, for now only the USS Nimitz and the CV-6 Enterprise have AA defenses. In the future I intend to add the cannon reflection script and implement the armaments of the other vessels.
- Activate option 1 to test the catapult system, and 2 if you are using Ocean mod.
The AA missiles probably didn't appear with ocean active (due to a bug in the ocean mod itself).
You can sink any of the ships, however, it may not seem to be doing damage at first glance. No particle system was modeled for this. However, after the ship's health is exhausted, it will begin a sinking process similar to the USS Beast.
Known Issues:
The GUI may appear very small and out of alignment at certain resolutions. This will be fixed with gui.Matrix, but it is recommended to use FHD.
Future:
As I said, I ran out of time to work on the mod, but as a priority, in my free time I want to try to fix all the bugs and issues. I made the mod so I can play and play with the ships myself. Unfortunately, my college schedule is getting tight right now.
Update Log:
1.1:
@vSoldierT You're welcome po.
Honestly? Enterprise's AA simply felt like something I've always wanted in SimplePlanes.
Good luck and take your time especially with your college.
I positively love this mod. I also really really love how scarily fast the Enterprise's AA guns fire and I wish there's a mod where you can add that to the Beast, the Tiny carriers and their Destroyer escorts for extra challenge.
11/10
@f67b0496ea The trailer only appears once, but a solution to open it in VR is to first open it in normal SP, close the trailer and then try to open it in VR, so the save file has already been created, tell me if it worked, if not I will have to remove it
LMAO DO NOT try this with simpleplanes vr pc version lmaoo
got stuck on top gun
@vSoldierT Understandable. And yeah im brazillian :>
@Leviatham sim é possível, mas no momento estou meio sem tempo, scriptar leva muito tempo, e o SP2 logo está ai, mas talvez ainda lance algum mod desse tipo [obs vi que você é BR]
Hey if you can do that with carriers can u make a mod that let us set up a naval fleet for combat? Im really tired of torpedoeing the same ships on the same path always with my sub :< Just an idea for a mod lol
If only I had a pc ☹️
oh hell naw the boats are plentiful
@vSoldierT 1920 x 1200
@ALTMTR What is the screen resolution?
@vSoldierT Forgot, The specifics about the UI scaling:
the Carrier/Ship names, Option names, Button Names.
@vSoldierT You're welcome, I've already tested the 1.1 and it's working out well.
@ALTMTR Thanks for the feedback and I recommend downloading 1.1, I'll be looking into these issues soon.
A minor issue with the UI scaling: the main text becomes too large, but it still functions well enough to be used and abused.
Lag spikes when Strike group is spawned, disappears when destroyed
@vSoldierT Dw I fixed the lag issue, idk what it was, I just disabled the mod and turned it back on again
@AviaNavy I made the mod on a 3050 (laptop), it worked smoothly, try disabling experimental features if active and ocean mod support
I am lagging.... Really badly and I have a 4060
@Boeing727200F the uss Forrestal is soooo cool
kinda wish there was a non nuclear powered American super carrier like the USS Midway or USS forrestal
@ALTMTR Nothing is just a cool intro that I put up, it was supposed to be a video montage within the game itself, but I didn't have time to do it.
what's with the Top Gun film?
time to bomb boats
finally we got a taste as to what sp2 might be like
