Description
This mod adds the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers of the US Navy. This is a kitbash, not a custom model, so there are some imperfections, particularly with textures, the island, and hull.

There are 3 versions: One works standalone but has an anachronistic air group with F-14s, A-6s, etc. The second and third have modern airwings but require several additional mods including Sea Lifter and Anchorchain.

1) “Gerald Ford-class” version: This version has F-18E/Fs, EA-18Gs, and S-70s. It requires the Anchor Chain, Sealifter, F-18 and S-70 Seahawk mods.

2) "Gerald Ford-class (F-35)" version: This version has F-35s, F-18E/Fs, EA-18Gs, and S-70s. It requires the Anchor Chain, Sealifter, F-35C, F-18 and S-70 Seahawk mods.

3) “Gerald Ford-class (Legacy)” version: This version does not require any other mods. Therefore, it uses the standard Nimitz’s air group of F-14s, A-6s, etc. If you only play with the Legacy version, you do not need to install any other mods.

Thanks to @Texas_the_Omertosa, @Pog Frog, and @Uniform61 for their excellent F/A-18, S-70 Seahawk, and F-35C mods, and @L963 for his RAM launcher model.

Update:
2025-04-11: Removed "AircraftSupported=" so you can now use custom aircraft. Fixed hangar door animation. Moved bow wave back slightly. Added bulbous bow.
2025-04-29: Added a new variant that has the F-35. Also made some small cosmetic improvements, including adding a profile pic for the encyclopedia.
2025-05-13: Improved taxi paths to allow simultaneous takeoffs and landings. Thanks @mobius for the suggestion.
2025-05-28: Updated RAM launcher model.

Not at present, I think the issue is any missions that use Ford will break if I change the associated F-35 since they have different names, weapons, etc.

and chance up adding a new version that uses the other f-35? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3508978375&searchtext=35

It still works for me. No crashes or anything.

The only downside is that my game freezes for a minute when trying to spawn the carrier, but it is fine after that. :NATO:

Yeah still not working, I moved all the gerald ford mods up got rid of the extra F18 and f35 mods and its still crashing. The loading bar will say Loading complete loading mission, then it will go to like 80% then its like the game Alt-f4 its just shuts down instantly. Im gonna try removing all mods except this and try again.

Yeah its worked for me before and yeah all 3 versions crash for me. I do have other F35 mods let me get rid of them and move the Gerald R Ford up and see if that works.

@DocRoe are all 3 versions of the ship crashing? Did it ever work for you? I haven't updated the mod recently so if it worked before and not now, perhaps you have a conflict (a different F-35 mod maybe)? Try moving the mod higher in your load order. I have a clean copy of the game on a different PC and it works fine for me.

Any plans on fixing the crashing?
