I don't have an exhaustive list, but I haven't had any trouble with any of Admiral ships on my own missions ... well, beyond the fact that the South Atlantic Map has trouble with the depth of some ship's hull ... I have had to edit the entry.lua of most ships to cater to that map fault 2 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Admiral189 Posted February 17, 2024 Author Posted February 17, 2024 Happy New Year everyone. Sorry, I have been absent, MIA, and gone for so long. I would like to thank all of you for your concerns and it means a lot to me. It's been rough but I'm still here trying to get back into what I love doing. Creating AI 3D Ship models for DCS. It's a slow process but I'm getting there. My plan for 2024 is to start creating small 3D DCS AI boats and ship models and work my way up from there. I will create the mods in no specific order. I will eventually get back to the AI Mods I was working on in 2023. Below is the first model of 2024. Finlands Hamina Class Missile Boat FNS Tornio. It's a WIP. For the record, I haven't seen any issues with any of my AI Ship models and I have the recent DCS version installed. 31 2
flyingscotsman Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Welcome back, don't over do it, might take a while to get your sea legs yet, take it one day at a time and don't let no one rush you....listen to an old Crabfat! 1
Slippa Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Well done Admiral and welcome back. Just take it easy, don’t do too much, all the best. 5
Hawkeye60 Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 I am glad you are back my friend! You have been missed by many. As Stated before, take it slow. We can wait for new ships. Your health is the number one priority. DO take care! Your Digital Ship Simulator will still be there! 6 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

McFly29 Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 Very pleased to hear you're on the mend Admiral! Is anyone else experiencing issues with DCS since the update? I can't get any ship assets (mods or core game) to spawn on a mission I'm creating and it just isn't the same without thousands of tonnes of metal raining hell at each other. 1
McFly29 Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 (edited) For those interested/having the same issues, I answered my own question: After some investigation this afternoon, an old CurrentHill MiG29MU2 (version 1.3.0) was causing a conflict. This was rectified by updating my assets to the combined Ukraine Assets Pack. I also had a conflict causing this issue with an older version of the Codename Flanker SU-30MK_SFM v2.0B. I'm yet to download a different version to see if this causes any issues. But these were what were causing my issues. I'd recommend checking these off. Appreciate that this isn't strictly related to Admiral's excellent mods, but it was preventing me from being able to enjoy them. Hopefully this helps others who also have experienced this.

Admiral189 Posted February 27, 2024 Author Posted February 27, 2024 Hello Everyone, Thanks for the support I appreciate it very much. It keeps me pushing to create more 3D AI mods. JakeFlys I'm working on a few OPV 3d models as we speak. The Amazonas Class Patrol Boat, the Arafura Class, and also the Holland Class Patrol Boat. I tend to work on a lot of mods at once so sometimes I forget what I'm working on lol. Honestly, I work on mods now based on how I feel. When I'm feeling pretty good I try to work on as much as I can but I don't push myself too hard. I'm working on a Rebel or Suspect container ship along with the Hamina Class Missile Boat. Both are almost finished. Below is a photo of the Suspect vessel with missiles and bombs on deck. It is a low poly mod but it suits well for DCS. I added a rebel flag to it but I may change it before release. I had to create the RBS-15 anti-ship missile launcher for the Hamina because it don't come with the model. As you can see damage model is complete. The issue with the missile launcher is it doesn't lower. The code is from a vehicle mod. There is a way around it but I don't think it will be realistic. Hello Rascals with Squiggels, I'm not sure if there are ship models of those vessels out there. Maybe you can search around for them online. Thanks, McFly29 I haven't seen any issues since the update other than ships no longer have smoke from the stacks/exhaust. All the ships are loading and responding in DCS as they should at least on my end. Thanks all I will keep you posted. I will be releasing the mods below as soon as I run them through testing. Thanks for your support. Glad to hear you resolved the issue McFly29. Thanks for the update. 17 2

Turbine 205 Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 @Admiral189, Love the ship mods so far. I'm using the latest copy of the USNS mercy class ships, but I am getting the following errors: 2024-03-08 01:10:35.908 ALERT Scripting (Main): loadfile: can't open 'D:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods/tech/USNS_Mercy_Class/MercyRunwaysAndRoutes.lua' 2024-03-08 01:10:35.909 ALERT Scripting (Main): loadfile: can't open 'D:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods/tech/USNS_Mercy_Class/ComfortRunwaysAndRoutes.lua' Looking in the pack it looks like those lua files are missing. Tried looking through the forum page, but couldn't find if there was a lua file posted somewhere.
