My wish list for an 80s to early 90s Forrestal battle group. Cruiser Class: Long Beach, Virginia, Leahy. Destroyer Class: Charles F. Adams, Spruance, Kidd. Frigate Class: Knox, Oliver Hazard Perry. Resupply Ships: Sacramento, Supply, Wichita. The Knox I'm not sure which sub-type would be a good fit for, I’m talking about the ones that had sea sparrow launcher, or the ones that had the launcher replaced with the Phalanx CIWS. @Admiral189 you may want to check with some of other modders to see if there going to bring out anything, or plan too.

So, from what I’ve looked up and been listening to, HeatBlur hasn’t said if they were planning to make any ships to go along with the Forrestal & her sisters. There was some forum talk about 1980s Iowa class refit but that about it. On the Vacant Models list RAZBAM is still listed on making Arctic (T-AOE-8), Mercy (T-AH-19), the Blue Ridge, and some other US Amphibious ships. But with the amount of work being put into the South Atlantic map and the asset pack to go with it, it could be about a year or more if we see anything from that. I hate to say it but I’m going to wait and see what the next two updates will bring out news-wise, if not that well just have to see what the 2022 roadmap brings us Naval asset wise.

Oh wow, thank you @Minsky for making this, she looks great. I hope to see that style on some of other aircraft.

Anytime @Hawkeye60, glad to help. I also tried the P-40 and it was not working as well. May want to check all the WWII aircraft when you have time.

Yeah not sure how to get that log for you, I can tell you instead the mod just like I have with all the other. User/ Saved Games/ DCS.openbeta/ Mods/ aircraft/ Fairey Gannet

So after installing the aircraft in my mods file, my current DCS open beta would not launch not until I removed the files.

Yeah, your right @Highwayman-Ed, there is one for the 737 but not for the rest. This is funny since I don't think UPS ever used the 737 for freight, I’ve always seen them use bigger aircraft like the MD-11 & 747. Anyway, I was hoping that someone could make some skins of UPS current aircraft and maybe one or two of the past. I happen to found out back in the 90s UPS used to operate 727's & Lockheed L-100's, and I was thinking it would be interesting to see that. Current air fleet: https://aircargo.ups.com/en-US/aircraft

Does anyone have plans on making some UPS Air Cargo liveries? I think the only one I have seen is for the 747.

Ah ok, I must have missed that. Thank you for pointing that out.

Hey @damienntrix love using your mod, I have a bit of a question. Are there any plans to add different liveries of countries that operate the same helicopters?

I was surprised that @desdemicabina-simulationdid not make one for there mod, but I think they were going for a modern fleet.

Too bad there are not any Adelaide-class skins to go with the Perry class frigates, I think it would look great with late 70s early 80s Melbourne battle group I'm putting together.

I ended up picking up the skins but some how I can't get them to show up. Must be a step I missed?

I remember reading about this, USS Long Beach (CGN-9) was on the list to get this upgrade. VLS launchers, two 8inch guns & the aegis weapon system, sadly the 8inch gun did not work well in trials, and the project was too costly to make happen for the nuclear cruisers.

I can't remember @John Day were I found them, but I think it was in this. I could not get the subs to run out in open water so I know use them for static display

@Callsign is right, I used the Seaking mod which uses the old model that used to be in the game, the downside of using this mod is not to scale & there are not a lot of liveries for it. I also use a French helicopter mod to build up the São Paulo air wing, but they have no Brazilian navy liveries.

Thanks for making this mod, the frigates goes great with Cuesta brothers updated CLEMENCEAU CLASS carrier mod.

Wanted to share some screenshots with a mix of ships & subs docked in Guam.

Oh, my what is that I see in the back ground, is that a shape of a Blueridge I see!

I'm guessing angled deck, I really can't see a straight deck since Magnitude 3 is making one to go with the F4U Corsair that's coming out soon.

Hey @Bungo does the S-2G Tracker come with the mod? I happen to taken a quick peek at it and I could not find it as a static object.

Thanks @jocko417& @Mizzyfor your guys help, I'm now on the right path.

Sorry I meant to say do I need to have a common texture fold. I see what you’re saying sadly my mind is trying to make it harder than it needs to be, but I still can't get it to work.

SO just drop it in the VSN-F104G folder but not in its own?

There is an RN livery for the sea king but the db_countries that comes with it no longer works for me. I used to have to place it back in the scripts folder after every update. After many try’s I ended up giving up making it work. Maybe ED will get around fixing it or just wait for RAZBAM’s SH-3. Royal Navy Sea King: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3310330/
