You are a legend.

HQ-22? Sweet!

In light of recent events, I would like to make a livery request for the Embraer 135/Legacy 600. Specifically, it would be this airframe bearing the registration RA-02795, MSN (manufacturer's serial number) 14501008. I don't know if it's too soon or something, but I hope to see this livery included at some point.

I know this may be a bit of a tall order, but at some point, please consider bringing us these reverse-engineered HMMWVs used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Dongfeng EQ2050. These vehicles were copied from HMMWVs and Hummer H1s purchased by the Chinese regime during the 80s, 90s, and 2000s when relations with American corporations like AM General were more cordial.

Can I DM you the liveries?

Hi Admiral, hope you are doing well. At some point today, I'll start working on making the hull numbers on your Harpers Ferry-class ships more symmetrical. The port side's number is larger than the starboard's side number. Also, the ammunition belt feeding into the Phalanx CIWS is missing its textures - the same problem can be seen on USS Blue Ridge and USS Mount Whitney. Lastly, aboard the Constellation-class frigates, the port-side RHIB is missing its windshield textures. Regardless, your works are brilliant, and I hope that I have helped.

Recently, I've been trying to make some of these liveries work. I used the texture files from DCSWorld/CoreMods/Tech/TechWeaponsPack/Textures/BDK_775_Textures.zip With Paint.net and the original files by @Urbi, I overlaid the pennant numbers and nameplates he made the textures I copied out of BDK_775_Textures.zip. If this works, I am going to find a way to upload them. Then again, I am gonna have to ask for permission from Urbi and whoever did the Argentine version of the livery as I used the Argentine version's description.lua file.

This would be totally awesome if not for the fact that 3d models of Iranian military equipment are not easy to source. If 3D models of something like a Bavar 373 (radar, launcher, command truck, power generator, etc) do exist, they'd probably be quite expensive to buy. Currenthill uses readily-available 3D models for his mods and relies on donations, but I can't speak on his behalf. If he's got something like this in store, we'll know when the time is right. Again, I shouldn't be speaking on his behalf but a very interesting proposal nevertheless.

Pleased to have the opportunity to bring you guys liveries. Sure, it's just me being Paint.net to put in words and letters on a DDS but I'm glad to be of help nevertheless

This looks like fun. Now that we're on the subject of wheeled vehicles, might I suggest you consider developing logistics vehicles like the RMMV HX series? In DCS's core and Combined Arms, the only modern utility trucks we have are the M939, KrAZ-6322, and Kamaz 43101. It'd be quite interesting to see more vehicles like these as SAM battery support vehicles or as part of helicopter FARPs. Another series of trucks to potentially consider is the Shaanxi SX2190 and China FAW Group MV3, used by the People's Liberation Army's Ground Forces as medium-duty transports.

Sorry for the delay, I'll send the livery files for the Oasis-class cruise ship shortly. I briefly contemplated doing liveries for "Flight ii" of the Oasis-class cruise ships, Harmony and Symphony, but I believe that they're slightly different. I'll have to check though.

Hi Admiral, this is brilliant. I have used some unused DDS files in the Allure Of The Seas mod to make an Oasis Of The Seas livery. I've also fixed the markings on the liferafts for Allure Of The Seas to reflect the correct callsign. On another note, I'd like to bring up a few items about the Constellation-class frigate. I've been working on making the name markings on the stern more legible and fixing the misalignment of the hull numbers. Also, about a month ago, they named the 4th ship of the class USS Lafayette so I hope to send you a livery of that soon. Lastly, I believe that the Naval Strike Missile's orientation is incorrect. Purportedly, the missile is supposed to roll 180 degrees after leaving the launch tube and travel toward the target with the engine inlet facing the water, not the sky. I believe I learned this from Currenthill. Thanks once again for your contributions to the DCS modding scene.

This is brilliant.

Thank you very much - this is awesome. As of today, I've started donating more regularly - it ain't much but I hope every dollar (or Euro) counts. If possible, at some point in the future, do you plan to retrofit the existing M1 Abrams and Merkava tanks (in DCS's Combined Arms) with the Trophy APS? I'm also aware that the Leopard 2A7 comes with the Trophy system (although I understand that 3D models might be hard to find). Also, there exists M2 Bradleys equipped with the Iron Fist active protection system - the Iron Fist system is also designed and built in Israel. Here are some reference photos.

Privileged to have the opportunity to work with you like always. When more information on the Type 26 frigates comes to light, I'll do some work on those pennant numbers too.

Yeah, fair enough, but in case you're unaware, they tend to take FOREVER.

This is awesome! Do I get to do the pennant numbers?

Thanks. It's true that some of these 3d models are exceptionally expensive and almost prohibitive. This is why I hope to scrape together some cash between me and some of my friends to help bankroll your development efforts. God-willing, I could make a donation at the end of the month. Glad to be of help.

I understand that this may not be a priority for now but in the future, might you consider bringing us an Iowa-class battleship in her 1980s configuration? Replacing her 20mm and 40mm anti-aircraft guns and some of her 127mm guns were 32x RGM-109 Tomahawk launch tubes and 16x RGM-84 Harpoon launchers, as well as four Phalanx CIWS emplacements and five FIM-92 Stinger firing positions. I also understand that detailed 3d models of the Iowa-class battleship in this configuration are exceptionally expensive and those fairly massive 16-inch guns would be a challenge in DCS, but I hope to get some of my friends and I to scrape together some money. Someday...

Thanks for everything that you do. I've noticed that the KH-35 missile launch tubes reload themselves - is this a thing with the real ship? I haven't noticed this with your other ships like the Project 22350, Type 055, Type 052D, Ticonderoga, Type 45, or the Arleigh Burke.

Take your time, you don't have to impose hard deadlines; We respect your pace either way. Best of luck with addressing these issues, and once again, take as long as you need.

I want to say that the Shahed 136/Geranium 2 pairs very well with the Iron Dome and David's Sling mod. Thank you very much.

Thank you, really appreciate it.

Is this version of the carrier available for download anywhere?

Hi, Currenthill, it's me again. Having played around with your most recent releases, the PzH 2000, NASAMS, and the CJ-10 cruise missile launcher, I find them all to be brilliant additions to DCS. Whenever you are ready to take new suggestions, would you consider bringing us some German Navy ships like the F123, F124, and F125 series of frigates? There are some decent-looking 3d models of them on Turbosquid, each available for about 40 EUR or 480 SEK. The possible benefit of these ships is that they're all based on the MEKO series of ships by Blohm Und Voss so you may be able to reuse and rescale existing elements and adapt them for your future projects.
