Maple Bugs out HARMing

Sold!!! LOL

Sounds interesting. What did the mod bring? I've been simulating running out of the mountains and to the south west past Kutaisi as the sim Red River Valley in the F105. There is a high feature on the east side that could be used as Thud Ridge and then striking targets closer to the coast sim Hanoi. Just missing a flak mod for a bit more realism for the visual effect.

Adding the VSN Thunderchiefs?

Do you have Flaming Cliffs?

Ok. I dont want it shooting into the ship either.

Looks like the CIWS is aligned forward? Ok. Well if you decide to do it. I would rather toss some cash into get a higher quality base model.

That Sketchup would take a lot of work. That's the original configuration of the Tribal class. The model I linked is post modernization with a 76MM gun and SM2. I'll toss in cash to get a proper 280 as well.

Future model maybe? https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/484432

Its right in front of the HF whip antennas. BTW, one set is 30 ft and the other is 18 ft. Yes both sides.

Quick release are chains. Guess I'm so used to seeing it just don't remember seeing it. The 20 man life rafts are strapped down and have a quick release set on them. If the ship sinks it will automatically release and a painter line attached will auto inflate the raft. Thing in the middle is a light stack. Stern running light and other things. You can see someone pointed out in the pic about the windows. That is the FLYCO position and it merges with the top of the hangar. When you add the deck locker on the quarterdeck, you can add them to the mezzanine deck and the flag deck. Torp tubes are duals. Model has triples.

That's the loadout except with wing tanks. Normal RP6 flights had 6-8 750 lbers. Or EW pods on the wingtips, or a single AIM9. So I guess I could copy the Mk82 centerline loadout? Replace them with M117s? Why didn't the loadout work? I'm new to luas and understanding their language so far is slow for me.

The rails go all the way across the stern. There is only one capstan aft. It's on the port side. I dont know what those boxes are.

I don't get that feeling sitting in my chair in the rec room.

Hi. Where did you get the M117s on the C/L hardpoint? Usual load going up north was 6 M117s C/L and one on each wingtip until they started running out and loaded less. Have to find some new skins also I see.

Seeing how we now have a Thud model, did anyone ever make any Vietnam RP6 style missions? I can see coming from the east as a run down towards Thud Ridge into Hanoi.

Don't forget to paint your hangar door the same colour.

Looks good

Seen the new boats. Looks good. Those rails on the focsle, if you can just lay them on deck. They don't do well in heavy seas and I can't remember if the 57MM is mapped around them. The thing in front of the RHIB is the combination ladder. Used at anchor. On the port side, its just a standard Zodiac for a rescue boat with a cherry picker crane. That RHIB model would look good on the STBD side Good view of the missile launchers. RIM7s in the boxes. Ladders, sorry, Navy speak. The stairs is what you would be looking for. If you look on your model, you can see them or they appear to me to going down to the deck. If that ladder could come up to meet the upper deck. Still looking for good pics. There is a better view of the doors coming out of the hangar with the Mk46 torpedo tubes.

Nice. I'll just throw a few more comments in. I know you're busy with other models. The ladders that come down on the boat deck port and starboard don't happen. They are actually cat walks that go from the bridge wings to the flag deck. Looks like Boston whalers on port / stbd. We have a rescue zodiac on port/stbd in those positions as well as a RHIB on the stbd side. The red line deck should be the same height as the blue line. Both sides. You can walk out the bridge door and its flat, doesn't rise on that deck. On the hangar on either side, it could move back further. The guardrails at sea on the focsle are always down and no jackstaff on the bow at sea. Looking forward to sending her to sea.

Can you slide the CIWS to the STBD side of the hanger? There are 16 RIM7 plus the 16 exhaust tubes for each missile tube. I guess that would take a bit of re-structuring.

Looking forward to a functional CPF in game.

Looking forward to seeing this. Boots on the deck experience.

Hey...the download link for the skin isn't working. Can it be re-activated? Where is the model also? Love to zip around in a Zipper.
