HMS Hermes R12 Released V2.5

[Sprool]

I want to dirty up the deck a bit, and have the texture file downloaded, if i save as a dds where should I put it?

[joey45]

Saved Games\DCS version\Liveries\....

[Sprool]

Thx Joey - great work! :)

[Deathmechanic]

Great work on the on this Joey45 very much appreciated. I am trying to create a VR scene with the Hermes but for the life of me i cant change the liveries to the R12 and I am only getting the default . Can anybody help?

 

 

This is how the Lua is set up:

 

 

local cam_level = 1.5

 

scene.cam = sceneAPI:addCamera(3, cam_level , 1.5)

scene.cam:setFov(90)

scene.cam.transform:lookAtPoint(-5.0, cam_level, 5);

 

 

scene.sh = sceneAPI:addModel("CentaurClass_1981", 0,-12,0);

scene.sh:setLivery("HMS Hermes R12 Green", "HMS Hermes R12")

scene.sh:drawToEnvironment(true);

 

scene.cam:setActive()

end

sceneVR.lua

Set it to UK.

[Deathmechanic]

Set it to UK.

 

 

Like this?

 

 

 

 

scene.sh = sceneAPI:addModel("CentaurClass_1981", 0,-12,0);

scene.sh:setLivery("UK", "HMS Hermes R12 Green", "CentaurClass_1981")

scene.sh:drawToEnvironment(true);

[joey45]

Set the hermes to UK in teh ME.

 

I'll be unlocking the liveries in the next patch anyway.

[Deathmechanic]

Roger that!, but yeah still cant get the liveries to work for the VR hanger menu scene.

[joey45]

It probably uses the default livery then.

 

But try to set t to UK in the code anyway.

Well I didnt sus it out, never mind. Thank you for the help!

 

 

I did spend the rest of the day messing with the deck textures though, adding oil stains and marks.

[joey45]

Nice.

 

If you want to make an Aussie deck you can.

HEHE I'm ex pat so i am more than happy with what you have already produced.

[joey45]

I'm looking for more deck liveries for other countries.

[DOBBO45]

Hello all, just came across this and it looks great, can i install it in to the steam version? is it fairly strait forward.

[joey45]

You should be able to.

 

I don't know where mods are installed for the steam version.

 

For the stand alone it goes in the saved games folder.

I scanned the thread quickly but maybe I missed it - are you still working on adding catapults?

 

Also, is this ship physically big enough to operate F-18s?

 

My thought is that as a fictional scenario/mission this could be used to run RCN F-18s - maybe make a skin similar to the HMCS Bonaventure skin for the Stennis but call it the HMCS Warrior (re: old Colossus class).

 

Very cool mod, btw.

It operated the buccaneers ... which are similar (heavier) sized aircraft, it was originally proposed that they operate phantoms, but it would only have been able to do so with a reduced fuel load, making it impractical, they were also huge. They had about 7 or so Bucaneers and 12 sea vixens. I would imagine you could get 2 squadrons of f18 if you reduce the gannets and replace them with seaking aew

I have another carrier that is more suited to the Hornets and Tomcats.

 

Like speed-of-heat said the Cats were too weak for the Phantoms and the arrester gear and deck would of had to be strengthened which would not of been coast effective So they converted her to a Commando ship in 71 then latter in the mid 70s added ASW gear then in 81 a STOVL.

 

But saying all that...... Yes I am working on a CATBAR 1969 version which I hope the A-4 mod will be able to use.

[reece146]

Always interested to hear what is in the pipeline. :)

[joey45]

I'll be releasing just the Lua files so the harriers take off on the centre line until ED do their thing about the spawning.

 

 

The runway(s) will be down the centre line but I'll leave the ramp start locations active.

 

 

Moving the heli spots won't be doable because you can't rotate them.

[Deathmechanic]

Sea King anybody?

 

 

I know the livery is not spot on but the texture file uses mirroring so it the best i can do.

[joey45]

Cool.

[Deathmechanic]

Sea King files attached.

absolutely sucks that the Hermes carrier mod broke after this patch update, is an awesome mod.

[joey45]

I think the core carrier code is in the process of being updated/ changed as there is now 3 types of fixed wing take off from 3 types of airframe..
