Short answer is yes. The original liveries that came with the mod had the larger rivets and lines. The next update will have some newer liveries with adjusted rivets and lines. seabat

Sent to Hawkeye for his next update to the Avenger. WIP but should get some variety to boat decks. (I will figure out making rough mets in GIMP one of these days) seabat

OVGME basically works the same way for me. Put mod in OVGME folder, open OVGME, search for the mod, click enable. In the past when I had an issue with the FA-18D it was caused by forgetting to disable the mod in OVGME before I updated to the latest DCS update. DCS update "fixed" the FA-18C and overwrote the D mod codes for player controlled. seabat

1. When viewing an edm in Model Viewer the resolution seems to be lacking as in it looks like 720 dpi. Is there a setting that can be adjusted in MV? 2. Is there a way in MV to tell where on the edm a dds file is applied to? I can see the textures in the texture drop down but would like to know where some of the less obvious ones are applied. seabat

Beldin, There should be about 6 versions of FN liveries in the link TeTeT provided. The French liveries were made with the Cuesta Brothers carriers in mind. Just be aware the Big Duck livery is a WIP and pending figuring out how to get a good RM to match it. All the liveries (FN, USN, USMC and Phillipine AF) should be compatible with the mod you are using as they all started from the same files. We are still tweaking them as time permits (Normals, RM, resolution, text, etc) and will post updates. If you would continue to use the credits in the readme text as you have it would be appreciated. seabat

If you downloaded the F8 Crusader Mod there is a folder which substitutes the pictures for the home screen, breifing screen, etc. It is common in alot of user mods. Go to the F8 mod folder, look for the Skins/1/ME subfolder. The "weird" pictures should be there. Rename the files by placing an x in the front of the file names and you should revert back to whatever was your last screens. It is what I have done and it should work for you. There are a bunch of other things that can be done including making your own screens but I am not at my DCS computer so I am not 100% on the steps. seabat

I seem to remember eariler in this thread that the CJS mod needed to be installed via OVGME first then the VSN mod or the overwrite/replacement/substitution of codes would cause issues. I use the mod manager as both CJS and VSN do substitute the DCS code and when DCS puts out an update everthing gets "corrected" and then CJS and VSN will not work. So I disable both, do the DCS update, reinstall and am back to having no luck at all in air to air refueling. As of the Dec 28 OB update all three mods are working fine for me. Just a thought. seabat

There are some challenges we are working through with the Crusader mod as a fighter. We are adressing them one by one and making progress. Those challenges included the pylons and missle mounts on the fuselage. We are getting closer but still a WIP. Once we get a satisfactory result we can get a fairly good representation of a photo bird. Unless we get a new model with the slab sides behind the cockpit photo birds will only be representative. The camera windows on the side will be close. The camera on the bottom will be a challenge due to the way the model textures wrap under the jet but again we can get close. Markings after that are relatively easy and we have a few liveries that are in the pipe line. The Thirteen Day liveries are now on the list. Thanks for the suggestion. As with everything else in the mod world, be patient. Maybe "Two Weeks". seabat

Fear the Bones (TeTeT, VSN, heatblur, DCS, CJS) seabat

and some more. Thanks to: Spino for the original mod Hawkeye for the updates Pedro Caparros for the orignial livery TeTeT for the USS Bon Homme Richard Toan and Citizen for the ideas To those I missed, my sincere apologies and a big Mahalo! Markings are mostly historical. AC Numbers are historically fictional. As TeTeT said the Crusader is a work in progress and has some limitations in both the mod and liveries. We hope you will still get some enjoyment out of it. seabat

Recce, We had a similar issue with the USS Bon Homme Richard CV-31 mod. On a whim I changed The VPPStartPoint entry by adding another 20 (feet?) and we got rid of alot of bolters. -- landing strip definition (first in table) -- VppStartPoint; azimuth (degree} Length_Vpp; Width_Vpp; Original {{-72.5916, 16.95, -5.60511}, 349.0, 97.0, 20.0, --somewhere between last wire and model center / just past last wire New {{-52.5916, 16.95, -5.60511}, 349.0, 97.0, 20.0, --somewhere between last wire and model center / just past last wire -72 TO -52 May or may not help with the Ford. seabat

To help understand I suggest you download one of the more recent Hornet liveries (past month or so) and look at that description. At the end there will be a section related to arguments listing various countries. I would give you more than just locations of where to look but I don’t have my normal computer. Alot of the older liveries were affected by the code change but You will probably see why it was done when you do your comparison. seabat

The file does not seem to be updated for the new lua coding for BORT numbers. Sometime in April DCS revised the number code for the F-18 and the previous codes do not eliminate the numbers. Go to the topic in the forums for the history and a solution. You need to update your description lua for that livery by adding in the lines that are explained in the topic. seabat

roobarbjapan, Did a quick AI mission two F8 vs two Mig 19, South Atlantic map. Missiles and flares launched but no crash after several runs of the mission. Will check with other types against the Crusader. TeTeT, Urbi may be using the Spino mod from his website. If you look at the leading edge of the wings there is a section missing which was a bug on that particular download. Good thing is his livery will work with the update. seabat
