I might be able to explain in part what's happening, here goes !! If for some reason 2 different mods have the same named texture file in them, whichever mod appears first in the drop down receives precedence when the game goes looking for that texture. For example if you have a US Flag on two different ships and you change one of them to another country by painting it differently, but keeping the same original name of course ... if that ship then appears first in the drop down and you launch your US Flagged ship, it will show the other country's flag ... because the game looks for it in the ship that appears above you ship in the ME drop down. I have come across this many times in the past, it does not always happen though, but why that is ... is beyond me. There ... if you understand that can you explain it back to me again because I'm confused

HMS Formidable CVA01 - One name that was being considered at the time, unlikely to have been the name chosen. Lot of work to do on her yet.

Bungo is doing an Ark Royal, it looks excellent and will be up to his HMAS Melbourne standard I'm sure. No point in trying to replicate that. I am looking at this skinset with a view to doing a UK style deck, trying to get rid of the black paintwork on the island is proving to be a rather lengthy nightmare and as I said above, that deck is going to be very difficult to alter. Its only ever going to be a paintjob though, I might try for a fictional CVA01 - but dont expect it anytime soon. I have other projects that are higher up the list of things to do.

Go to the link and you will see them all.

Its been done - three versions. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319178/

I dont think that is a new deck texture, he has just made the existing deck textures brighter, that a whole different ball game to creating a different deck. Interesting though, thanks for the heads up, I missed that on the download site.

Who's doing it Joey, I would like to make a CVA01 deck for it but have no idea how to do it with those kinds of texture files. I would like to ask them. ?

Once Admiral has done his thing with the basic Montreal model and its uploaded I will recreate my Liveries Mod to go with that, it will include another 3 ships, all with slight variations and minor texture improvements, mainly around the flight deck. Over the years they all got slightly different things done to them. I love this little ship too, and I have always loved Canada, when I visited on Exercises it was like Scotland was when I was a kid, I fell in love with and never fell out of love with it. Every visit was a treat. Apart from a very large bear in a forest clearing in Novs Scotia that scared the crap out of me ... when I say very large I mean in twice my height when the bugger stood up after I kicked it thinking it was a discarded carpet ... it was ginormous !!!! Bloody glad I had a mini flare in my hand at the time !! I know I know - who would discard an old carpet in a forest clearing 80 miles from the nearest town ... I didnt think that through at the time did I !!

Hmmmm ... Just had a closer look at this ships texture files, I wont be attempting anything with this model, its way too complicated. I would think the only people who could change that deck are the guys who made the original model and have all the 3dmax files, or somebody with way more skill than I have.

Thanks Greg - That's the way to hide a Carrier - inside a bloody airplane folder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Complicated looking set of skins, but never say never Eh ! CVA01 perhaps, looks about the right shape (ish!).

Its well hidden - I cant find it ?

Looking at that link there appears to be several problems with this Mod conflicting with the in game F-117A, and the Discord he mentions has nothing in it that would be of any help. The data I sent you above works in all of my Saved Games Mods and should work with this, I cannot see any reason why it doesn't, sorry. Here is the lua back again with the data as I would add it. F-117.lua

I'm not familiar with any new Mods of the F-117. The game runs the F-117A and most of the DCS files for that were locked away ages ago, you cant do anything to them any more. Thats not entirely true but changing anything with in game aircraft is now very difficult to do. What exactly is this, a new Mod of the F-117 or something you are trying to do with the DCS F-117A in the Stable version of the game.

What Plane ? What Carrier ? Upload a copy of the aircrafts lua. That info might help.

LandRWCategories = { [1] = { Name = "AircraftCarrier", }, [2] = { Name = "AircraftCarrier With Catapult", }, [3] = { Name = "AircraftCarrier With Tramplin", }, }, -- end of LandRWCategories TakeOffRWCategories = { [1] = { Name = "AircraftCarrier", }, [2] = { Name = "AircraftCarrier With Catapult", }, [3] = { Name = "AircraftCarrier With Tramplin", }, }, -- end of TakeOffRWCategories

The A6 isnt my Mod Greg, you will have to ask the guy who made the liveries if you are having problems with this Mod. I dont have any liveries in this mod yet, I have only just installed it myself.

My apologies for trying to help, I can only say sorry once, lets leave it at that !! Mine is working beautifully ... its a fine Mod. Now retiring to my batcave tail between my legs !!

Great news, another one to look forward to.

Greg - True = It will only appear as a singleton. False = You can have up to four in the flight (No more than 4).

Your in the wrong thread Greg, this is a completely different Mod to the Brazilian Navy one.
