  1. 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.
  2. 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 !!
  3. Great news, another one to look forward to.
  4. Greg - True = It will only appear as a singleton. False = You can have up to four in the flight (No more than 4).
  5. Your in the wrong thread Greg, this is a completely different Mod to the Brazilian Navy one.
  6. It just means check your IN Box on this site Greg ... I think it stands for "Personal Mail" ... or something like that. Glad to help, I hope you got the Merlin and the other stuff working okay.
  7. If you dislike the piss poor Mer6's try replacing them with these - Mer5 - They look a whole lot better. { CLSID = "{MER-5E_MK82x5}",arg_value = 0.0,attach_point_position = {0.0, -0.005, 0.0}}, -- MER-5E 5xMk-82 { CLSID = "{MER-5E_Mk82SNAKEYEx5}",arg_value = 0.0,attach_point_position = {0.0, -0.005, 0.0}}, -- MER-5E 5xMk-82 Snakeye I could not find a Mer5 for the Mk20 - I expect there is one somewhere (if you look hard enough). When I say piss poor Mer6 you will appreciate that is not a criticism of the Aircraft Mod, which is great, the Mer6 is ED's and it hasnt been updated since Noah was a baby !!
  8. The Royal Marines serving in HMS Hermes always referred to the flight deck as The Roof Garden., we never called the ladders, ladders, we were either going upstairs or downstairs and all Fleet Air Arm ratings regardless of rank were called WAFU's. (******* and ******* useless ! ... I knew you would want to know !!). Young naval midshipmen were always addressed thus "Get out of my f**cking way" ... ... or more commonly - Snotty's. Woe betide any young snotty who tried to fight back !!! Happy days. PS: We (Bootnecks) had a whole heap of respect for the FAA, but what would life at sea be like without a bit of piss taking. PPSS: My best retort to one young snotty who demanded I address his as Sir because he was an Officer went along the lines "Mishipman isnt a rank, its a ****ing appointment, and your still in my ******* way". I then saluted him with the wrong hand ... leaving him very confused.
  9. That bump or lip does/did exist on the ship, it was in the area where they replaced the cats and blast screens equipment from the deck when she was converted to the LPH role. It was actually the thickness of about a 1/4 inch steel plate, a very visible join one plate on top of the other, not quite the rounded look I see in your image but it was definitely there. I tripped over it once or thrice !!!
  10. No template - hand painted. All that's needed is oodles of time and lots of patience. The Royal Navy All Blacks.
  11. Did they ever produce a version of that USS Ohio without the crazy floating collision box GHOST sitting about a mile off to Starboard, the one that sails along with the mod !!! I dont actually know what that ghost is but it spoils the mod completely.
  12. Autopilot - Is it working ? If the answer is yes how do you engage it, I'm struggling to find the answer.
  13. Mapi - Its not really the ships that are too red, its the way the water is rendered in the game. Its almost completely clear to any depth, and real sea water isnt like that, whilst it looks nice and blue its full of all manner of rubbish and detritus, which changes the depth you can see to at certain angles. The solution is simple though, just add a few knots of wind to your mission and the surface of the sea changes to suit, slight rippling or serious waves if you go overboard, that hides the redness quite well. The other option is to extract the ships hull textures and make the underwater parts darker, or even black. Many warships have black lines between the red and grey, many are all black.
  14. Just got around the installing this super Mod after a few years of flying the earlier version which had a really poor cockpit ... and this is everything I hoped it would be. Also delighted to find that my old set of UK skins work perfectly with this version, soon to be available on the download site, posted yesterday. Some fictional RAF/RN, some based on actual liveries, nothing spectacular really but I enjoyed doing them, and they still look okay. A taster: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3318458/
  15. A good place to see a B2 close up is the RAF Museum at Hendon in the UK, complete with a full bomb load laid out underneath it. Its a great museum, well worth a visit if you live in the UK. I was unfortunate enough to watch a B2 explode in mid air after an aborted landing at RAF Luqa in Malta in 1975, and to be involved in the recovery of the crew members who died. The pilot missed the runway and shoved his wheels up through the wing fuel tanks, tried to gain altitude again but about 5 miles out the aircraft exploded with one wing coming off completely, I can still see it slowly drifting to earth like a giant sycamore leaf. Two of the engines kept going ahead, like giant rockets, flying away out to sea. The 2 Pilots got out, everyone else died. I was serving in HMS Hermes, tied up in the trot opposite HMS St Angelo in Grand Harbour. We were all sitting on the round down at the back of the deck doing what sailors and marines do as it happened, we had watched him come in for his landing, disappear below the horizon then suddenly appear again streaming smoke and flames with the engines going full throttle. We scrambled the 2 duty Wessex 5's and flew to the crash site at Zabbar by which time the RAF crash crews were on site but the damage was done, 1 civilian lady died. Lifting the wreckage was a problem, the wing that detached was still full of fuel and moving it was seriously dodgy. The crew in the back couldnt get out because the nose wheel was stuck in the down position, blocking the escape hatch, they said afterwards at the inquest. A sad day, not the sort of thing you expect when your day dreaming about tonight's run ashore down The Gut !! Details here, no idea if this is accurate or not, its Wikiwhatsit after all !! A little bit of Vulcan history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Żabbar_Avro_Vulcan_crash
  16. Its a game problem, not a Mod problem. The exact same issue happens with helo's, first one sits on the deck, the remainder do the same, engines off, wheels down, doors open etc. The blades start to turn and whilst the first one's wheel stay down, the rest pop back up. Its been a mess for as long as I can remember. I have spent ages playing around with the lua's with no solution in sight. One aircraft good - more aircraft bad. PS: How can you trust a man who cant remember what he had for breakfast ... and he always has porridge !!!
  17. Joey - Not nit picking, I appreciate its still a WIP, but I dont think she ever had bridle catchers on the bow. The only RN carrier to have those was Ark Royal IV. The 3d Radar on the bridge roof appears to be missing its support. The blast deflector animation is excellent.
  18. Rgr ... as I indicated my memory of it was a little bit vague. So what is this GR1 that Oban is talking about, is it the same model I wonder or is there a decent GR1 out there. PS: I did some Brit skins for that Jaguar A, I have them filed away somewhere, if it ever reappears I will dig them out.
  19. There was a French Jaguar A around, with French liveries, it stopped working a long time ago and nobody resurrected it as far as I know. It was made by a group who's name escapes me now. Some of their other stuff does reappears from time to time as other groups (VSN inc) rebuild it to the 2.7 standard but I never saw the Jaguar A reappear, it needed to be rebuilt in 3dmax and a new edm exported to 2.7 standard but nobody was much interested in doing the work. I recollect trying to generate some interest in it along with Hawkeye60 but to no avail. If we are talking about a different GR1 Model I would be seriously interested, I would love to do some skins for that. Jaguar A is VERY similar to the GR1, the GR1 has the radar pod attached to near the top of the fin, thats the most noticeable difference.
  20. What Jaguar GR1 ? That got my intertest !!!!!!
