HMS Hermes R12 Released V2.5

[Aureliuz]

Don't unzip the tex folder(s)

Dont unzip - copy that!

But what about the correct way to install - cannot change liveries in the missions editor.. so there is still something wrong about my procedure..

Where must the liveries folders be placed? :joystick:

[joey45]

Depends what country you make it.

 

The current liveries are Royal Navy and Indian Navy. I will unlock them in the next update.

 

Unzip in the saved games folder in the folder structure.

 

liveries

...\Saved Games\DCS Version\Liveries

[Aureliuz]

Thanx - I will check it out! :book:

 

 

EDIT: I did it like told - works perfect (with OvGME too)! Just to notice: in my case I had to create the "Liveries" folder under my "Saved Games..."

THX!

Bungo, the ARA 25 de Mayo as well as the ARA Independencia were bothe Colosus Class.

 

- 25 de Mayo was the HMS Venerable (R26) Later HNLMS Karel Doorman (R81) and finaly ARA 25 de Mayo.

 

- ARA Independencia was the HMS Warrior.

 

Never the less of course we can disguise the Hermes as a Colossus.. ;)

 

We just need some arresting wires, since the A-4 has its own "catapult" included ;)

I'm working on a Cat 'n' trap version in the back ground.

[speed-of-heat]

Hey Jody, I seem to be exploding as a barrier now on deck of the Hermes, after the last pathc?

[joey45]

I'm having a look into what has changed in the patch.

[speed-of-heat]

ta

[joey45]

Also adding proper spawning points.

[JFCshloss]

weve experienced some issues since last patch , in single player its fine in multiplayer anytime we fly near it spawn on it or even look in its direction when flying we get a big lag hit but only happens in multiplayer mode

[joey45]

Is this close up?

[JFCshloss]

no it spawned in fly by or even look in its direction from miles away so weve had to remove it

none of the other ships do it not even the juan carlos or charles de gaulle

[joey45]

Okey thanks.

[joey45]

For those that don't know I put the description lua in the Mods\tech\HermesR12\Textures.

 

I thought I'll see if I can add proper spawn points

There should be 4 harriers ..... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!

 

So I'm updating the LODs and getting them to work... which they are.

since last patch soon as i try to spawn on here game crashes

[joey45]

 

That's strange cos it should say

{"TEX_Deck_82", 0, "HMS_Hermes_1982_Deck_DIFF", true};
{"TEX_Deck_82", 1, "centaurclass_1982_deck_nm", true};

which version do you have?

 

I'll do a test build today and upload here in the thread but the spawning for players is borked since the patch.

 

I've found out how to spawn more harriers but they all spawn facing the front.

[joey45]

Right. Spawn locations down for the harrier.. all 12 of them

 

Until the harrier spawning is fixed here's the AI A-4s for reference and yes they are AI, watching them take off up the ramp is funny.

I had to disable the helichopper spawn locations for now.

 

after some testing and not being able to place which spot I want them to spawn in I will reduce the runways from 2 to 1.

[speed-of-heat]

Mu wa ha ha! :)

[joey45]

[speed-of-heat]

nice, love the lighting and the deck crew was a nice touch !

[T-Pap]

Thought i'd recreate an iconinc Hermes photo as i love this module so much !

 

Sadly we don't have Sea Kings to place but i think it is very very close :)

Edited May 29, 2020 by Tuomaspap

[joey45]

Cool

[T-Pap]

Cool

 

I've noticed that the width of the Hermes is abit off !

Is there any chance of this being corrected in the future so that the deck is wider ?

 

Thanks

[joey45]

I can try to do it but it might break the UVs.

 

What's the size difference between the FRS1 and the AV8B-N/A

[T-Pap]

The Av88 has a 2m25 wider wingspan , so the deck's width would have to be widened relative to that. They are both the same length so longwise its ok.

So i think appr up to 5m extra width to the deck , 2.5m each side of the deck to offsett the island proportionatly would fit the av88s in the manner the hermes fitted the sea harriers in reality.
