Thank you so much GhostMike! I really appreciate that. I have been vacate for a while dealing with life issues but i'm still here. I am still creating and working on models when i have time.. I have released the USS Bainbridge CG-25 as is. Not really much i can do with her anymore. I haven't seen any problems with any of the weapons. The missile are just eye candy for looks. The FWD ASROC is just for display. The only weapon i can add to it is Harpoons but she Harpoon launchers on the Port and STBD Side aft. All the FC Radars are animated along with the Flightdeck nets. The Navigation Lights works as well. I hope you all enjoy! I will work on Supply Oiler next.. Enjoy!!

That's a nice model ak47Freak! Regarding the weapons. You have to play with DCS Russian missile scripts. Not all weapons will work as they should. Some will and some won't. I found another Kaiser Class as well. Much better than the last one i released. Let me know if you need assistance with anything!!

That's a nice model ak47Freak!

Hey Guys! I'm still here. Just lost my modeling motivation for a minute there. I will continue to create them as i have time too. Hey Navy, i can adjust the numbers and move them fwd. The model has a basic hull. Nothing special about it. SteelPig i can add some Fishing-boats, big trawlers. I come across a lot of those models. I don't create them because i didn't think anyone was interested in them. Kappa13 i have been slowly working on the Admiral_Gorshkov_ class ship. If i get my hands on a good Udaloy model i will create it as well. Bones1775 the LCU is still operational. Most of the models are still operational. I haven't had time to look at the Irainian missile boat. I will get to it. I will make a few adjustments to the Bainbridge and release her as is because i just don't have the time to put a lot of energy into modeling like before. I will try to release her this weekend.. Thank all you guys for your interest. I still have plenty more to create.. Plenty!!

Yes Morpheus! I tried to create a copy of the Navy Tugboat i use to operate in Yokusuka, Japan. I can release it if there's interest!

Thanks Guys! I really appreciate it. If need be i can easily create a template if someone would like to create liveries. Their not hard to create but time consuming for me as i don't have much free time these days. I have finally finished the USS Bainbridge CG-25. I will send her out for testing to get another opinion. After testing is complete i will release her. I have made many corrections since releasing these photos. Next I will be working on a Supply Ship!!

Thanks Toan! Hopefully i can get her out soon. This is a clean texture version. I will try to give her a weathered look before release. If not i will release her as is. All the weapons are working as they should. Flight deck nets are animated. I need to animate the AN/SPG55 FC Radars. I will add some dummy Terrier missiles for display as well.

Hey Guys! I stopped modeling for a while because sometimes everyday life doesn't let you enjoy the things you like doing. So i have almost finished the USS Bainbridge. Still some minor fixes! She is in-game for testing. I will attempt to finish by weeks end!!! So far so good... Fwd & Aft launchers and Harpoons are working. Still testing the CIWS. The ASROC is disable for the moment. Stay Tuned!!

Shafts and Screws corrected!

No Andrew! I purchase or acquire them already created and build from there. I scale them in 3ds Max based on meters. I use Wikipedia as reference. That's the first thing i do prior to starting on a model. Creating the model is time consuming but i tell you if you can create a 3d model. You can easily create and sell them. The price we pay is more for the modelers talent of creating the model and not the model itself. Almost every model i create. There's something i have to remove and replace. Almost 100% of the time. I always use 3ds Max. At the moment i use 3DS Max 2021. Animating the weapons, radars, propellers are really easy. I've created a video on animating weapons. Animating the props and the radars are the exact same its just one is vertical and the other is horizontal. If you need help once you create a model just let me know! Thanks for pointing that out because i usually try to find that information or at least find a photo of it. I have plenty of shaft models i can add. Thanks.

Happy New Year Everyone! Sorry i have been MIA for a while. I really had to take a break. I started the Bainbridge Model over because i didn't like the outcome. She is coming along great now. As long as i can keep my motivation going she will be complete soon!! Hey Andrew, i have enough models to create that will take up the entire year. Some models are just aren't available and if they are their either not a good build or their too costly. At the moment i have at least five more models to build in the Bainbridge era. USS Sacramento, Wichita, Long Beach, Virginia Class CG and the USS Yarnell. Not in that order. WIP!!!

USS Bainbridge Update! Pushing for a X-Mas release or sooner. Almost done! She should be sea worthy soon! Once sea worthy i will conduct weapons testing although there's not many to test.. Next in line will be a Supply Support Ship!!

Your welcome! There will be another update to the Patrol Boat once i have time again. USS Bainbridge is coming along well. Working the weapons now!

It's been updated Mapi! I added the OSA Missile but there's third missile appearing for some reason. I am working to remove it. Not sure why it's there. I think what i will do is add a separate launcher for the missiles so there's no weapon conflicts.

So as mentioned i have re-configured all the weapons on the Iranian Patrol Boat. Tried and tested! New download link has been posted on page #1 Line #23. Once i find another workable Surface to Air missile i will replace the RIM Missile.

Nice!! I like it Arrow.. Grumpy, i had to completely re-do the Iranian Patrol but it's good now. Link coming!

Try this link Scotty! https://www.dropbox.com/s/lsno89f1zhgkxms/Irainian Patrol Boat.zip?dl=0

Hey Toni! Sorry that is a massive job to take on alone. It can be done but it will take way too long to create. Your right it is a nice model but too pricey for something that does nothing. It does have a lot of detail though. That would have to be an ED project for sure!

Thanks Joey for passing the wake file. Toni, i don't have the permission to release the Belknap but i will be releasing the Bainbridge and i will have a Virginia Class as well. Progress is a little slow as i'm trying to get my motivation back. You really have to be in the mood to create models! Bainbridge shouldn't take long once i get started as she doesn't have any guns. Thank you all for your interest in the models i create. r,Admiral189

Hey Guy! Sorry i have been MIA. I was on a short vacation. When i get a chance i will try to answer some of your questions! Hello Charik80! I added the Missile connectors to the Los Angeles but for some reason they do not launch. However, when i add the L.A. to Sim without the 093 sub script it launches missiles. Also, when i attempt to add the torpedo script in SIM without the 093 script the mod doesn't appear in DCS. We're trying to get them to unlock the Torpedo code so we can use it on ships as well. I will slowly get back into modeling the ships again. The USS Bainbridge is currently a WIP!

USS Bowen FF-1079 has been released. Page 1 #22. Enjoy guys! USS Bowen (DE-1079/FF-1079) was a Knox-class frigate of the United States Navy. She was named for Vice Admiral Harold G. Bowen, Sr. (1883–1965), former chief of the Naval Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research, who was deceased at the time of her commissioning. Admiral Bowen's son and namesake, Harold G. Bowen, Jr., who also retired as a vice admiral, presided over the U.S. Navy's 1969 inquiry into the Pueblo incident.

Working the Iowa is a very big job. The weapons alone will take a long time to animate and code. I've found that once you start altering a model. It's very easy to mess something up and it would be just as difficult to repair it. I would rather create an Aircraft Carrier before i would create an Iowa Model. I praise the person that created it. I remember in the late 80s i use to see all those ships in Norfolk, VA. All lined up onbase.

Thanks Greg! I appreciate it! There's an IOWA Class out there already. If i had that model i could easily add the Tomahawks to it. Not sure whose the Arthur! I will be releasing the USS Bowen within the next hour. I've already put too much energy into it.. Somethings i just can't correct on her. I hope you all Enjoy her. I will continue working on the USS Bainbridge!!
