Worked on the front & back over the weekend. RAN 8 pack hopefully ready for download tomorrow.

@mmarques i just checked some other sources the light admiralty grey was correct. (Yeah it's more blue, who knows why they get named what they do) But, the aircraft grey was out, so I have fixed that for the next upload of the RAN ones which is hopefully tomorrow. Thankyou for asking about the blue as I wouldn't have noticed the grey. As a result I also adjusted my grey & white A-4's which are all in one pack of 8 now. I know it's the wrong thread but here's a sneak peak of the major changes.

basically yes but I’ll recheck other documents for cross reference.

RNZAF pack ready for dowload. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315630/

Can anyone help with a description.lua mod? I'm trying to add a line to the description.lua for liveries. What I want to do is dirty up the wheels & rims. I have the details1cockpitWheelsHardpoints.dds file and can edit it with photoshop. But, I need the description.lua to point to the edited file in the liveries folder. Is there a location or list where I can find what goes at the start of the lua line? Example: I need to replace the XXXXXXXX's below --Arrestor Hook {"Gear and metal", 0, "RAAF Bottom", false}; {"Gear and metal", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC, "fus_bot_v472_RoughMet_ul", false}; {"Photograph", 0, "RAAFPic", false}; {"XXXXXXXX", 0, "details1cockpitWheelsHardpoints", false}; Thanks All.

My pleasure, hope you like it. Let me know if it needs any tweaking. I may change the spec file at some stage, it looks a bit shiny on the leeward side when it shold be dull shadow.

I switched to the Melbourne WIP and it traps everytime. The other Melbourne I haven't had one single full stop. I'm making the same approach to each carrier. Not sure if this was a known issue, probably just me, but I hope it helps.

hey @Bungo, fantastic mod. DCS has needed a carrier of this size and vintage for a long time. Great job. Quick query, am I missing something here, pardon the pun, but I can never seem to catch the wire with the A-4. As it’s the only hook A/C I have, I can’t compare with another. The A-4 does catch the wire on the Stennis though. I’ve watched externally and the wheels touch down in the right spot and the hook travels across the wire, but every time it’s full power and around we go. At least I’m getting proficient in carrier CCTS. Also, for any one that’s interested, after seeing Bungo’s job on the Melbourne I’ve gone through and redone all my RAN A-4 skins. I had a couple up for download already but have now pur them all up. Hope you all can put them to good use. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315560/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315590/

@bC3660 and all, should be approved for download in the next 24 hours

Any ideas on what the numbers on the flaps looked like?

Excellent, I’ll do that one if you like? I’ll try and get a start this week. You’ve also answered my question of NAVY or MARINES. Do you happen to know or have a picture of what the black rectangle is between the canopy and RESCUE marking on the nose?

@bC3660 the pic doesn’t show up at my end. I did VX-4 a while back https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3306608/ edit: just found a photo, I could give it a go as well. I’ll see how I go this week.

Yep, would love to see the Huey upgraded, especially on the outside. I'm in the process of slowly updating my skins. Started with these three.

I'm slowly updating my Huey skins. Mainly added a lot of new stencils, done some other weathering and changed the spec file etc. I've started with these three.

Up now https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315314/ This ones next

Thanks @ebabil probably going to start with this one. Still working on it, adding extra decals and light weathering.

WIP on Camo, Winter & Desert with new shark mouth Actually, looks more like a T-rex from the front now I see it.

hi @jnr4817 the Huey panel comes with ikarus, but not as you see it above. I spent a bit of time making the panel as it is, such as the warning lights at the top, & moving instruments and adding switches. It’s not extremely difficult to do just time consuming. let me know if you need more information.
