Description:

This mod adds the PLAN Type 003 (Fujian) and future Type 004 ("Zhejiang" class) aircraft carriers. This is a kitbash, not a custom model, so there are some imperfections, particularly with textures, the island, and hull.

Sealifter and Anchor Chain are required for the J-15s. There will be a non-Sea Lifter version in Red Storm Arsenal soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks to @Texas_the_Omertosa, @Misaka, @Cent, and @用这个做昵称的人超帅 for their excellent J-15, KJ-600, and Ka-28 models and textures.

SeaLifter installation instructions:

Known issues:
– The Ka-28s should be updated to Z-8s now. There was an earlier issue where the default Z-8s in game were not carrier capable.
– I used Google Translate to create the Chinese language files. Let me know if there are any issues.

Updates:
2025-12-22: Updated for new ammo capacity game mechanism.
2025-11-23: Updated J-15 roll rate to fix S-pattern approach issue. Let me know if you still encounter this issue.
2025-11-21: Added future Type 004 CVN (tentatively Zhejiang class). Updated deck textures, removed some superfluous submodels to improve performance. New low vis KJ-600 textures. Added Z-8s.
2025-05-24: Added Chinese language translation thanks to @Texas_the_Omertosa. Added HQ-10 ini file. Fixed J-15 red texture issue (thanks @phantan123). Added J-15 air brake animation. Added Yu-11 which was preventing Ka-28 from spawning.
2025-05-28: Updated HQ-10 model.
2025-08-18: Added J-15D based on @Texas_the_Omertosa’s Su-30 model.

TROUBLESHOOTING INFO:
1) Planes aren’t spawning on takeoff. Are there J-15s parked on the deck of the carrier? They should be there. If not, you have not installed SeaLifter/Anchorchain properly.
2) The planes are red. At some point, a mod conflict likely created dummy red textures in your User folder, which takes priority over all installed mods including this one. Go into your steam folder for Sea Power and find the StreamingAssets/user/assets/aircraft/materials folder and delete the plan_j-15 files in there.
3) Crashes when loading. On slower systems, on loading the game may appear to be frozen for a few seconds (fades to unresponsive) but if you wait a few seconds it will usually still load. There are almost 1,000 submodels in this kitbash so it runs slowly if you have an older PC.
