Hey Toni! Yes, i'm looking for some escorts right now. Also, working an Oiler that goes along with her. Hey Earl_Grey! I'm investigating the collision model. Not sure what happened. I may have to create a new one.

The Spruance is an older model from 2.5.4 version of DCS. Pretty much the same as Kidd but with VLS Launchers instead.

Upyr1 Hawkeye60 creates older WWII models and i create Modern vessels. Believe it or were always working together in some way. Sharing thoughts and ideas. Near_Blind are you saying the USS Kidd doesn't work with DCS Version 2.7? Let me check her now!

Hey Guys! I have been working to get the USS Tripoli livery working with the assistance of CarzyEddie! Right now i'm trying to see if i can get the Wings on the America removed and also different Call Sign Flags to show on the USS Tripoli! Once done i will release the livery!

Thanks PeneCruz! Great Job!!

Thanks James! Those are the original textures so their not the greatest. I was actually thinking of creating another skin for her. Mapi, Nice Cleanup! If you are good with texturing and liveries let me know! I can use some assistance! Thanks.

No that's a problem. In Max it's correct! So i will do the opposite in Max. Upside down and rotated. Thanks. I'm creating an update now because i'm swapping out the Stern Textures for America and Tripoli.

Thanks Alvarolage! I have gotten plenty good test already. Thanks for asking. With that said. I have released USS America LHA-6 Beta Version 1.0.1 # 19 on page One. Thank you all for your patience! I am currently working on the USS Tripoli LHA-7 livery for the USS America. Stay Tuned!! Thanks DJ Reonic! I see the names. Congress and Chesapeake are the next two versions for the USS Constellation. I will make a livery them as well but may be a while. Thanks.

I can possibly do the constellation but as you know that Ship haven't been commissioned yet so not sure what other names they have. I would like to do the Oak Hill and San Antonio for sure. I'm working the USS Tripoli now for the USS America!

Check your inbox PeneCruz!

Hey Rem, i sent you a PM! Thanks.

I'm working on the USS Tripoli LHA-7 Livery. I will send you the mod for testing. Thanks.

Whose available for testing? Looks good on my end!!

Hello Mapi! Thanks.. I'm working the textures now. Regarding the 7 for Tripoli. That is still a WIP! They have since been corrected thanks to CarzyEddie. I will release livery once complete. It was not intended to be released yet because i'm still working it. One thing about missing textures... If there's textures missing in certain areas. Once i apply the texture back it will cover all those areas. Prior to release I will check all the areas you noticed!! Thanks again. Also, if any of you have texturing experience let me know. My door is open! Remember i'm a one man shipyard! Thanks.

Good Morning Guys, What's weird is not everyone has texture issues so not sure what's going on. I have asked someone to test the new model textures. Thanks for your patience! Adm

Thanks Esac! I appreciate that. Can everyone agree that the spawn is correct and if so just keep your existing collision model. I had to lower the collision model for the static aircraft to sit on deck. AI aircraft sits good on deck. This is cleaned up version of the America. The Harrier in the corner is a Static Aircraft. Also as you can see no texture issues.. I will keep working on it.

Ok copy all. So whenever aircraft sinks on the deck its because of two things. One is the Runway lua. A lot of the line items you will see 19.5. Adjust it back to 20.0 to see if that assist with the deck height. The 2nd is the collision model. For some reason Static and Player aircraft don't line up on deck although the collision model is just a stripped down version of the original model. Either way i will square it away. I don't have a Harrier Aircraft so i will send a test model out for you all to test. Thanks for the feedback!

Guys since there's quite a few of you that Fly the Harrier. I will adjust the model for the Harrier and i will also clean up the textures folder. I think there may be some conflicts somewhere. I will release an update after it has been tested. I am also working the livery for the Tripoli. Stay Tuned!!1

Can you all test the link i sent to Marroux and let me know. So i have updated the runway lua for the collision model i'm using... i adjusted it to 19.5 so it accommodates AI helicopters and Aircraft. Also, use the collision model i posted for you Harrier Pilots..

Marroux, can you test this version for me? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ej94x2fswso5ij9/USS America LHA-6.zip?dl=0

Can you all confirm whether the USS America Hull_01 texture is within the texture folder? If not i will post it.. Not sure what's happening i released the version i'm using in DCS. Let me know!

Thanks Cacetudo!!! I appreciate that. PeneCruz! I sent this to another player and it worked well. Can you test it? This should put it right one deck and if anyone else would like to test as well. Let me know whether i need to move it up or down. Thanks. https://www.dropbox.com/s/55ux7ds28zosyl1/test model.zip?dl=0

Hey Near_Blind, I swapped them because for some reason they wouldn't work with the appropriate launcher. We see that sometimes in DCS. Same with Miniguns. Sometimes we have to test multiple scripts to find the one that works. You can swap back and test it just make sure you disable the one not used using -- in front of the code. Hey Toni, once i see the Forrestal is getting close to release i will definitely create escorts for her. They may be creating some as well. I will still create the 2nd version of the America USS Tripoli as soon as i can change the hull numbers. Also try and work on the Hangar bay! At the moment i'm taking a break from modeling for a while!!

I would like to say a BIG BIG thanks to a few of you who assisted with testing and giving ideas to bring America together. Hawkeye60, BUNGO, Gunter, Toan, Marroux and FETUS. I thank you all for taking a small portion of your time to assist with testing and giving me input to create the USS America. THANKS!!! It's a BIG model with a lot of detail that's why the file is so big. If i shrink it. She will lose a lot of detail. Enjoy!! r,Admiral189

Ok so i lowered the collision model but it was with another aircraft. I will send it to you for testing. Thanks for reporting!
