CARRIERS EXTENDED!
Carriers Extended! or CEX for short, is a framework that allows simulation of aircraft capable ships such as carriers and frigates to a degree that was not previously possible in FSX/P3D, making its debut with our Coral Sea and Midway carriers in 2017.
From deck motion to approach systems and animations, CEX is the complete package for the simulation of realistic and engaging aeronaval operations.
SIM INTERFACE
CEX provides a SimConnect-based interface that allows the user to interact with naval assets. The Fleet Placer allows the user to:
- Spawn & maintain ship formations: Corpen & standard turns, carrier recovery turn, sail into wind, adjust speed
- Simulate deck motion: weather-based and user controlled options
- Receive navigation information from ships: speed, position, distance, PALS/ACLS information
- Change deck state: Recovery, Launch, No flights, Launch & Recovery SOON
- Control ship lighting SOON
FEATURES
- Physics-based deck motion
- Catapult launches & independently-controlled JBDs
- Realistic arresting physics
- Custom landing aids: FLOLS, I-FLOLS, SGSI
- Scriptable SimObject Attachment System (SSAS): attach dynamic objects to the ships to add moving crew, signal flags and user-interactive simobjects
