Callsign

Is a post conversion Essex planned to accompany the F-8?

@Patrick56Could we maybe get a texture template for the Clemenceau? I want to turn it into a short bow Essex or something.

It's not what I added rather what I removed, I simply copied the Takeoff and LandRW categories from the Tomcat.lua and pasted it in place of the Hornet's in the Hornet.lua.

New bug found, with the recent changes in ED carrier code, the Hornet can no longer be launched from the carrier, in the Mission Editor you cannot place it on the Clemenceau. I am yet to test the Tomcat or any other carrier capable aircraft. Edit: All carrier borne aircraft except the Hornet work on it. The Hornet seems to refuse to work with mod carriers now. Edit 2: I fixed it with a fairly simple .lua edit to the Hornet itself.

The CDG works perfectly fine from what I can tell.

I'm having an issue where the Clemenceau just isn't moving. She has been set to 30 knots in the ME yet will not move at all.

Unfortunately, neither myself nor Hawkeye have the knowldge nor the time to build a model from scratch, so no. However, this Iwo Jima LPH intrigues me.

Elaborate as to what you mean? As in a group fund where everyone pitches in a little to find an Essex class or Midway class model? If so then yes we are very open to that as we still are yet to find any good model.

The A-10A did indeed use laser guided bombs during the 1980s, albeit, with buddy lasing for guidance from like an F-16. I really think our A-10A in DCS should have them. The GBU series will add to the existing versatility of the A-10A, as well as expand the range of missions we can fly it on.

Excellent work mate. Perhaps you'll tackle a skin making her an Essex class carrier next?

We need a good model first

Paint her as a post-coversion Essex you won't

Both the $23 model and the Intrpid are too low quality for DCS sadly.

Ok only two of those models are actually usable, however, Hawkeye and I have both agreed we will not spend $420 USD on a model. If the community collectively spnsors us to get the model, we will do it. Until then, no dice.

Yeah but we both know players will still use the Hornet on it

We want the angled deck version in order to operate the A-4 and the Hornet.

Hello all, I, in cooperation with @Hawkeye60, want to make a USS Oriskany mod. We have the team and skill for it, all we need is a good model. In spite of our extended research, we have been unable to find a suitable model. Those of whom who would like to help us bring the Big O to life, please let us know.

Any progress we would be interested in?

Is there a version without the Etendard on deck?

You're making an Ark Royal?

Would definitely love to see a Vietnam era Midway, in the meantime once this releases, you can use the Melbourne as an Essex class. That's what I do.

Good lad. More information will come in due time. Hint: Mighty O

If you get it from just that then I applaud you.

In it's current state, the FM is a bit less than satisfactory. We are still working on the capabilities, most weapons will not fire. When we release it, it should be in a state where all can enjoy. Also, let's just say Melbourne isn't the only carrier coming to DCS that operated A-4's and S-2's.

Actually, the S-2 is a full AI mod, however, the team decided to keep it private as it is still in WIP.
