- correct bikey included
- removed debug output from plane launch

Here comes another update for the Nimitz. It's more of an hotfix, as it addresses an incompatibility with ACE medical system.

From a visual point of view, the hangar was re-painted.

From a code point of view, the launch script now uses CBA key events (ctrl-l and ctrl-shift-l). It is also based on events now.

This is a major upgrade for the USS Nimitz in Arma 3. Please see the changelog for the changes of the last half year in detail. The highlights are:

The SAMs have been upgraded, so that the tubes are used one after each other. Also the modded missiles were replaced by vanilla RIM-116 and RIM-162 missiles. The AA crews are now responsive as they start on CombatMode Red.
A general quarters alarm was added to the Nimitz. It can be activated from the bridge or entrance of the island.
The displays and monitors on the bridge have now been made a hiddenselection, so they can be changed in a mission now.
The elevators are now settable to be lowered or raised when mission starts, check the Eden attribute for it. Unknown source to be attributed for the idea.
The launch crew and their animations have been overhauled thanks to Moose and NightIntruder. The launchcrew and shooter scripts can be overriden by a module attribute for the catapult module.
The landing sequence has been overhauled to play an alarm when a plane extends its tailhook in the carrier vincinity. The landing script is configurable via the arrest module.
The tailhook effect has been changed when a plane successfully traps, the hook is raised slightly now. Thanks to B10 for the template in the Jets DLC!
The Tilly is now drivable, albeit very crudely. It can also attach a plane or helo and release it.
The IFLOLS optical landing guidance system is now functional aboard the Nimitz. The IFLOLS script has been overhauled.
A new island texture has been provided by Odyseus and NightIntruder.
Drones likes the Sentinel should work with the catapult and arresting wire scripts now.
The ambiance module takes into account the carrier number and applies the appropriate F/A-18E/F skin from Jaentzen now.

This is release 0.99 of the Nimitz in Arma 3. Over the last half year there have been many changes to the Nimitz.

First, the number and aftmast have been made configurable via Eden, so any of the existing Nimitz carriers can be impersonated to some degree. Note that doesn't include details like the different aft mast or changed island shapes. But we continue to explore this direction.

Next, the holes in the fore hull have been closed and do now contain deployable drawbridges. This should allow the Nimitz to stay in a port and make it accessible from the pier. A touchdown sound was added to the flightdeck when a plane lands. The anti-air weaponry received a textures update from the TheSn4k3, and the logos were updated by Odyseus. The briefing and map room now show the picture map of the island one plays on. The Tilly crash crane has now the ability to remove all Air, Land and Ship wrecks in the vincinity. Shockley did provide new hull textures, completely with all derivative textures. We hope you like the new look. With help of the Freedom technology the Nimitz stays now longer visible via the setting FeatureType = 2. The dynamic airport config also found it's way into the Nimitz, so players can now autoland on the carrier - don't forget to deploy the tailhook though! Further some air conditioning units and sounds were placed on the carrier, as well as a static engine sound at the aft of the carrier.

The final addition is the use of Grumpy Old Man's (GOM) aircraft loadout scripts via the weapons elevator. Any dynamic loadout capable plane can now be re-equiped at the weapons elevator.

This is release 0.98 for the Nimitz in Arma 3. Some sounds stopped working on the carrier: elevator, jet blast deflector, wire trap and wire break and engine sound. But for the engine sound the sounds were able to be fixed. Further the air defenses in Eden are using attachTo again and hence don't fall overboard when moving and turning the carrier in Eden. Note that some anomalies can still be observed in game, as the setPos of the air defenses is not that reliable. Thanks to Foxone/TheSn4k3 a new test engine stand was added to the Nimitz objects.

The changelog since 0.97 is very short, the full changelog is available at http://tetet.de/arma/arma3/nimitz/Changelog.txt.

This is release 0.97 for the Nimitz in Arma 3. The catapults in 0.96 were bugged due to an uninitialized variable. While it is sufficient to exchange the ttt_nimitzfunctions.pbo this release has been made available for ease of use.

Besides the bug fix for the catapults post processing effects, other fixes made it into the release: o playSound3D is now used, limiting the distance the plane launch and arrest sounds can be heard o the AI landing routine now uses a lower approach speed, reducing the amount of flight deck used when AI lands o the ambiance module now checks for Lesh's towing capability and will point out if a PBO for the tractor is missing o the CUP tractor is now supported in the ambiance module, albeit it does not work very well yet o the ttt_fnc_global has been made more robust

The changelog since 0.96 is really short, the full changelog is available at http://tetet.de/arma/arma3/nimitz/Changelog.txt.
