HMS Hermes R12 Released V2.5


Recommended Posts

Should be able to do 12... there might be a problem with the code... can you show the screenshot of the bug.

 

Had the chance to clean the fans and  2 tonnes of dust...

Hey @joey45! Nice job on the mod. Myself and @Chipwich are trying to bring this vessel to life (DCS 2.7xxx, latest version as of right now) in a series of missions. When I try to create the following, for MP (all Clients):

 

- 1 Group with 4 client AV8's - flight of 4.

- Takeoff from parking, hot

 

Only 2 show up in the ME - the other 2 just disappear from the ME. In the lobby you can still select 1 - 4.

 

With "Takeoff from Runway" all but the first client (and I believe 2nd) seem to work, but when selecting slots 3/4 you get dropped through the deck. 

 

Just curious but, do they need to be single-aircraft groups? 

 

Thanks for the good work.

Firstly, superb modelling and really look forward to the Ark- if she's still on the slip-way, of course?

 

Two questions:

I'm getting what look like 2 gigantic untextured missiles facing forward where the seacats (?) are positioned.  Is this a 2.7 'thing'?

 

I don't seem to be able to select the variants Centaur, Bulwark, Albion or Virrant in the Mission Editor yet the Hudson Bay is selectable.  I have the livery package in user\saved games\DCS\Liveries - so am I missing something?

 

Many thanks

Can I see a screenshot of the texture bug please.

 

Due to health issues and not having a PC over the past couple of months i haven't had the chance to do anything.

737 driver - This is probably being caused by one of the  Illustrious class ships, both of these ships have seacats on them but one of the mods is of a much larger scaling  and if that shiop mod appears first in your tech mods then every seacat will be of the larger size.  One of the mods will have to change the allocated name for the seacat edm so that they do not conflict.

Joey, sorry to hear about your health issues - hope they get resolved ASAP.

 

crazyeddie - got it in one!  Many thanks  but what precisely has to be done to 

'change the allocated name for the seacat edm so that they do not conflict'

 

I renamed seacat.edm in Hermes to seacat1.edm, reintroduced Illustrious to the folder and the 'big, green' missiles reappeared.

Hi,

 

Most of the liveries are only available if you select United Kingdom as country.

I'm doing one with the catchers called elephant because that is what was going to be the original name...

Hi there,

I'm using the Hermes 1981 version, and I've noticed a bit of a "bump before the jump" on the deck:

When I hit this during take-off it causes the front wheel to jump and actually flips the Harrier into the air, but not enough to clear the ski jump, and I pretty much always smash my landing gear into it as I barely clear it. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

PS Amazing mod, thanks for this!

Nice Job on the 1969 Version, A4’s launching splendidly 👍🏻,  I did put some crew on board, Is there a defined area where they can’t go ? I’ve had some that seem to block the first jet from parking onto the Cat’s, unless I move them starboard almost to the scuppers,  other than that, it’s a cracking ship 😁

You can put them in the walkways and on top of the island/bridge/flyco .... The AI wont land if there is anything on the starboard side before wire 4, Port side is fine and some other random places.

It's very different for the LHA 

It depends on weight > speed > take off distance...
I normally have nozzles at 25 degrees. You don't need to move the nozzles to 65 because you have the ramp. But it all depends on weight.

If you are light then start more forward and you don't need full throttle.

Thanks for the reply, however I'm not sure it addresses my comment. There seems to be a bug with the deck on the Hermes. There's a bump on the deck before the ski jump, which launches my plane into the air before the actual ski jump (see my photo). Is that bump supposed to be there? If so, why? 

Thanks!

That bump or lip does/did exist on the ship, it was in the area where they replaced the cats and blast screens equipment from the deck when she was converted to the LPH role.  It was actually the thickness of about a 1/4 inch steel plate, a very visible join one plate on top of the other, not quite the rounded look I see in your image but it was definitely there. 

 

I tripped over it once or thrice !!!

How heavy are you and where are you starting from?
