Brilliant - The UK are going to buy this aircraft to replace our aging E3-D's.

I did that, it may be something else ? Just checking my game. Apologies - it was a corrupted download, works fine now, well done guys.

Ship isnt appearing in the ME or in the game.

You can get it here John: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsfcoagm9nemfna/Admiral156 and crazyeddie's AH101 Merlin V3.zip?dl=0

Looking really nice Admiral.

I dont think it will break MP, the in game ships had this line in them in the early days of the game so its probably an accepted bit of code. I dont play MP myself and cant check that, and the game is always evolving, so if I'm wrong apologies in advance.

If you only wanted that ship to show up under Spain you could add this line to the lua: GT.Countries = { "SPN",}; Change the code for the countries you want it to appear under.

LCVP's on the Port (Right) side are still showing the wrong textures.

Remove the Illustrious Class ships ... and be amazed !

Yes please ...wip

tanax -

singleInFlight = true, ----------- Change this from 'true' to 'false'

Does anyone know where the edm for that awful looking MER 6 in the game is hiding, I want to replace it but cant find it in the shapes folder. I may be looking for the wrong name, any help would be appreciated. There is an updated BRU 41A in the game already, which looks very similar, but its not using that for a 6 bomb load, it still using the ancient and awful edm from the dark ages.

- Thanks for that, I did wonder if it was possible but had never got around to figuring it out.

I think she is sitting at the right depth in the water now, its not the model that gives the impression of sitting high, its the water transparency that creates that illusion and there is nothing you can do about that, except add extra wind and thereby create larger waves to hide the red below the boot topping. Even then you will need a bloody hurricane level of wind to hide the red even a little bit. There is another solution of course, paint the red hull black - whilst not accurate the problem is solved.

JSGME Mod for this ship - see above.

I did these a long time ago when the B17 first came out, they arn't all that good but you are welcome to use them. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ar1av6fxhvu4tc/B17 Coastal Command.zip?dl=0

Handy Wind max speed is 14 kts - to change that you will need to make a JSGME Mod to alter the lua. Here is a JSGME Mod to bring her speed up to 27 Kts, which seems to be the game normal. If you want her to go faster you can play with the numbers in the lua yourself, you will easily see where I have changed things. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f18mt9ufz7m28zp/JSGME Handy Wind.zip?dl=0 If you dont know how to instal using JSGME Now is the time to find out. Search JSGME.

She also had 2 Portacabins bolted to the deck on the funnel deck, 1 on each side ... used as accommodation for the RN Comms Ratings on her. I cross decked onto Atlantic Causeway (her sister ship) for one night on the way back from South Georgia to rejoin my unit on 2 Sisters, could not get off her fast enough, one night was one night too many. We were going to be picked up by the Wessex ASW off HMS Glamorgan and taken inland but that all went for a bucket of bolts when she was hit by another Exocet fired from a trailer setup they had ashore ... luckily another helo turned up and took us to somewhere completely different ... not that we minded really, we were quite close to Glamorgan at the time so anywhere away from that huge target was okay with us. RIP the 14 matelots killed on Glamorgan. Causeway was fitted out differently to Conveyor, she had a small hangar built up forward but you could create another livery for her if you wanted 2 of them. PS: I didnt know there were 2 of them either, not until we jumped out onto her deck and looked up ... Oh F*ck was the most popular comment at the time !!

Admiral - Hawkeye has the original Iowa stuff, I think he did try to make a modern version of it with Tomahawks etc but I dont know if he ever finished it, the conversion to add the missiles required a lot of extra work on the superstructure and removal of stuff from the Quarterdeck etc, it was a big job. That said ... with your skills everything is possible, it would be a terrific addition. I did make a start on updating the skins for it, removing all the WW2 markings etc and did a quick post modern version for him, if you go ahead let me know and I will find that stuff again and finish it.

Every Warship carries a wide variety of small arms Admiral, particularly machine guns of varies types, put whatever you like on her. The concept of the armed matelot charging down the gangway to rescue the fair maiden from the wicked warlord still persists in modern navies - mind - I think they might be hard pressed to find a real 'maiden' these days. The image of a matelot armed with a gun still scares the crap out of me - we used to say that the only place to be in a fire fight involving matelots was behind them. Only joking - all matelots are salts of the earth, just a tad dangerous with real ammunition !!!

Here it is, not quite perfect, its hard to match the existing aircraft to this version so this is my closest compromise. This skin will fit all three versions of the Mod inc the folding. 16/11/21 - Updated Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs0rjggglfpe8sj/Polish Naval Merlin.zip?dl=0 The red warning box near the tail has the word Danger in it, the actual aircraft has something in Polish above that but I could not find an image good enough to read it, if anyone has an image pass it on and I'll update the skin. (Something I can actually read please, I can make guesses for myself but decided not to do that) !! The Number on the side is also a bit of a guess, again no clear image of the actual aircraft to work from, the last number could any one of several.

This is superb, the workmanship, time and vision to make this Mod deserves enormous credit. Well done prccowboy, this is the best Mod I have seen in the game for a very long time.

Greg - You can do this two ways. 1. If you have created a DCS'Liveries file in your Saved Games folder you can put them in there. if not 2. This mod is in the CoreMods folder in the main game folder - in there look for tech/Tech Weapons Pack/Liveries and in there you should find a folder called HandyWind - stick them in there.

WIP - Not quite finished yet.
