Admiral189

No plans to create the Gerald Ford. Just not there yet. That's a big project and it would take up a lot of time. If i had a team i would take it on. That's definitely an ED Project! They have the resources and the Team for it. If i do create it. it would be basic without all the bells and whistles. I think the most important parts on it is the CATs and Trap wires which could be completed. Below is version 2 of the Irainian Patrol Boat by CurrentHill. He did an amazing job recreating it.

Thanks RWC! I'm quietly working another project as I write this message. Once the Warship mod is close to being complete. I will post it here. Although I don't post here always I'm always working on something. OzCougar i sent you a PM regarding V2 of the Irainian Patrol Boat refurbished by CurrentHill. He posted it on his Forum! Stay tuned guys. Many more AI Ship mods to come in 2023!!! Thanks for your patience!!

Amazing work! Thanks!

Nice! Now i know where to get the scripts for my new Arleigh!! Great Job Current!!

Hey Spino, i sent you the fix for the missiles appearing. Also, EDs updates will break most mod codes. The mod needs to be completely re-worked! Whenever you all have any issues with any of the mods I created. Please send me a PM and i will correct them when i have time!

Your welcome Tromp! I updated the link as well on page #1

HEY Guys! I'm still here. I had to upgrade the memory and cpu on my PC. New Graphics Card enroute. Over past couple weeks I have been trying to learn Substance Painters. It's a WIP. High Maintenance i've already updated the textures on the Oak Hill and the Constellation. I just haven't released them yet. The weapons on the Constellation are comparable to the weapons on the Admiral at the moment but they need to be tweaked before I release her. The Constellation has a new Anti-Ship Missile vice the Harpoons. Something i've found is that creating the AI Ship mod textures in Paint appears better than photoshop. At least my opinion they do and much quicker to create. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On on another note!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Admiral Kasatonov - Admiral Goshkov Class Frigate version 1.2.0 has been released. Updated features are below! Please check page #1 for the download link. CurrentHill has done wonderful job with the weapons. Continues to amaze!!! I have some catching up to do . By Admiral 189 and CurrentHill Version 1.2.0 - Changed the collision model - Changed 9M100 to radar seeker - Fixed the final maneuver altitude for P-800 - Changed the INS error factor for P-800 - Fixed the final maneuver altitude for 3M54T - Changed the INS error factor for 3M54T - Changed the launched interval for 9M96M and 9M100 - Changed the max altitude and kill distance for KT-308 - Changed ECM resistance for 9M337 - Fixed 9M337 booster animation - Fixed 3M54T booster animation - Fixed 3M14T booster animation

Thanks, Spino for showcasing the mods. Please add this code to the Harpoon code without the quotation of the FFGX and it will make the harpoons disappear in the game " GT.WS[ws].LN[1].show_external_missile = false;" Also add it to any other mods you use with Harpoon launchers or any missiles for that matter. Thanks. Thanks Gonno4 we will look into it. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey Oban! Speaking of Arleigh's! I am slowly working on DDG-62 which I was stationed aboard for five years. If the defenses are tweaked properly like the Admiral. She may just have some competition. The Admiral does have some fine weaponry though!

Your welcome Toan! She's an awesome Mod for DCS. ED has competition now!! Thanks for being patient!!

Happy Saturday Guys! The Russian Frigate Admiral Kasatonov version 1.0.0 has been released. You can find it on the first page of this forum. #27. Please give thanks for CurrentHill for an amazing job on animations and her weaponry along with hull textures. As always please PM me with any technical issues! Thanks.. Enjoy Guys! Admiral Flota Kasatonov is an Admiral Gorshkov class frigate of the Russian Navy and the second ship of the class. The Admiral Gorshkov class is the successor to the Neustrashimyy and Krivak-class frigates. Unlike their Soviet-era predecessors, the new ships are designed for multiple roles. They are to be capable to execute long-range strikes, conduct anti-submarine warfare and to carry out escort missions.

Hey Guys! The Russian Frigate Admiral Kasatonov mod is complete! Thanks to the professional modeling work of CurrentHill for bringing her together and making her a beast of a vessel. Thanks for your patience! I will be uploading her Saturday Morning. Oct 1st! In the US East Coast Standard time. You will be amazed at what she's capable of. I won't say much. I will let the ship do the explaining! Stay Tuned!!

Admiral Kazatanov Update! At the moment the Admiral is receiving a texture and weapon makeover from a fellow DCS Modeler to make her more advanced. Once complete we will run test and release her. Thanks for your patience!

One problem I see in DCS with the game engine is the ships can detect & track most weapons but they can't shoot down all weapons. So I will bring this to the attention of ED.

Thanks, Guys! I appreciate it. I think you ALL will enjoy the new Russian Frigate addition to DCS. I have to say she is well-armed and can defend herself well. She is almost comparable to the Moskva in DCS! Conducting the final testing of her now!

Guys the Admiral Kasatanov Frigate mod is pretty much finished!!! I just need to add the flight deck lights and I will attempt to create the liveries for the other vessels in her class. All her weapons function to include the land attack cruise missile. I will release her this weekend with or without the liveries so you all can enjoy her. Stay tuned!!

Admiral Kas update! She's almost complete. I need to add the Navigation lights and the surface-to-land missile. Shouldn't be much longer. It's moving slowly but i'm getting her completed. Thanks for your patience!!

Hello Tripod, Adm Kasatonov is coming along pretty good but slow... I have been working other projects as well. I just finished all the damage textures. I need to re-work the missile animations as they not working as I would like them to. I would like to release the Admiral with two other small patrol vessels as well. Stay tuned!! Hey Woogey, In most cases if the textures are dark it's usually the original textures that come with the model. They can be changed but it may not look so good. I'm always testing model textures. So in most cases I try to use "Haze Grey" which are the textures U.S. Navy ships use. I try to make the textures weathered a little bit as well but it doesn't always work well. I did find a texture with weld lines. I will try to introduce it on my future models as best as I can. Rust can be added as well but here's what i've found is some people like the clean look over the worn look. Hope that answers your questions. "It seems that color is a little bit dark, which is probably an easy fix. The bigger question that I wonder about the lack of actual texture: IE weld lines and hull plates, oil canning, rust"

Yes, it's still WIP and it will have a damage capability with regard to textures. It's a pretty good mod. I'm not the original modder but i think they did a pretty good job with the details. I have uploaded a video of the Admiral in Action on YT!!

Hey Nick, currently no plans to create those ships. Along with the Admiral, I will be creating a Karakurt class corvette and Grachonok-class patrol boat. Also, i will be creating two liveries for Admiral Golovko and Admiral Gorshkov. Admiral is coming along well. I will be working on the damaged textures next. All weapons have been tested successfully. WIP!!

RWC I have added dates but yeah if i have an update I can add a new date. You can see I also add the version. In most cases version 1.0.0 will be the first release but yeah i can do that. No worries. Sepp66 do you know if that model is available on the web? Also, keep in mind not many models out there have good detail but i will try to create as many as i can. Admiral Kasatonov Update. I'm conducting a weapons test now with the new class missile added. I added the 9M100 surface-to-air missile. She's coming along well so far. Still much work to do. All a WIP!!

Hey Chap 2012, yes I plan to create a couple of modern ships and then back to the older ships. I think next in line are the USS Virginia CG-28 and USS Longbeach. RWC I have the Type 23 Duke Class in my inventory as well. It's coming Tone. Thanks.

Thanks Nick! Should be a beautiful mod once finished!
