That Knox and the Belknap are my models that I made as Lead Artist on Cold Waters, and whoever sold them on Turbosquid did not have permission to do so. I would appreciate if you do not share these.

Nils Sir, 

It is very unfortunate that someone has stolen your work and put them on Turbosquid.  Of all the 3D warehouses out there, I thought Turbosquid to be the most reputable. 
 

Your models are beautiful, and a number of us were very much looking forward to them being in game.  Might I suggest that you and the Admiral team up to offer an “official” Cold War Naval assets pack for DCS.  I personally would be happy to pay $50+ dollars for a pack containing a Knox, Belknap, Spruance, Kidd, Virginia or California, Missouri, Los Angeles, and an oiler or two.  Basically a late Cold War/Desert Storm Pack.

Hey to all, 

 

Thanx for the great mods @Admiral189 but I have a few questions. 

 

1. Are the tug boats that you upload available? If yes are they workable? I mean can they push big vessels inside or outside a port? (I attach pic)

2. In what way I can enter and exit LCU-1627, LCAL in San Antonio and  OAK Hill ships? is it possible to open an close the back door?

 

Thanx 

[Admiral189]

Hey JooJoo,

 

They will be available at some point but they can't push anything around like in Ship Simulator. I thought about the same thing because i use to operate tugboats. The work horses of every port. 

 

On page 17 you can see how to enter the LCU.  Depending on the version you have of the Oak Hill. Yes, you can enter it and use the mouse to open and close the Stern gate. It's not possible on the San Antonio. I didn't add it to the San Antonio but it does have a Captain's view.

Thanx a lot @Admiral189

 

I also want to ask if you have create a supply ship something like USNS Bridge?

 

Thanx

[Admiral189]

No, not the Bridge. it's too costly.

 

I found the USNS Patuxtent. Not a great ship but i will make it work.

[joojoo]

Thanx a lot 

[joojoo]

@Admiral189 indeed the rear door works, Could I enter or exit LCAC or LCU 1627?

 

Thanx

[Admiral189]

You can enter the LCU not the LCAC!

[joojoo]

Dear @Admiral189 I cannot find the LCU 1627 on the ME any idea?

Admiral I hope your not spending too much money on turbosquid

High speed evasive maneuvers performed by the USS Kidd to avoid a training anti-ship air-strike by a French SEM flying low.

Thanks Admiral for the USS Kidd and the Cuesta Brothers for the SEM (Super Etendard Modernise) !

Fly low...

Great Photo Toan! Now you can see for yourself how it responds to threats. So far it's the only ship i have seen perform those manuever's.

[toan]

Thanks Admiral !

I guess attacking aircraft never had the possibility to fly so close to the USS Kidd in real life....

Those evasive maneuvers would probably be more appropriate to avoid torpedo hits, using also specific ASW jammers.

Note that in the scenario above, the USS Kidd goes at "only" 25 knots. It could sail over 30 knots in fact.

Maneuvering at high speed for such a large ship gives here interesting opportunities to fly really low (20 feet at 228 knots in the second screen) !

Fly low to avoid AA defense....

[toan]

Well....

I guess a non-moving target presenting its hull side seems unlikely for this kind of large ship, if subject to anti-ship missile attacks...

Evasive maneuvers would probably be recommended here, with action from the appropriate CIWS rapid-firing guns, I suppose !

A question for @Admiral189 or any other ship modelers: is this the type of 3D model that you can turn into a DCS unit?

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/uss-boxer-3d-model/690634

 

It's the USS Boxer (LHD-4) and we don't have the Wasp class ships in DCS as far as I know. Nor do we have any static CH-46 models. I know basically nothing about how to do 3D modeling, so I'd be curious to know how this particular 3D model's polygon count/texture size/etc stacks up in comparison to the great work you've been doing. I'm using all of it.

Hi @Admiral189

i find a Kiev aircraft carrier.

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/kiev-russian-aircraft-carrier-3d-model-1457405

I hope you can make it real in the game

Thanks for your exellent job.

[Admiral189]

Hello Cacetudo, 

 

I can make any model ship sea worthy and function in DCS. The Boxer is larger ship so it will take some time to work on. Please don't spend $399 on any model. The models are high priced with no functions. They have great detail but that's it. I have the USS America in my collection so i will be bringing her to life at some point. 

 

Yann, that looks like a pretty decent model. I don't think it would be hard to create. Looks like a helo carrier.

@Admiral189

thanks a lot for your job,

it was an aircraft carrier with Yak-38 ADAV aircraft.

but also with Ka-27 choppers.

Thanks for the feedback and info - good to know. The USS America sounds like it will be worth waiting for!

[Admiral189]

Your welcome! Stay tuned!

Hi Admiral,

 

What are your thoughts on a CVN-65 such as this?  

 

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-carrier-uss-enterprise/856662

[Admiral189]

That's a pretty good model Reccelow but you can probably find one with more detail for a lower price. 

 

I am far from creating Air Craft Carriers. It will probably take me months to create one. I will be creating a Helo Carrier at some point.

[Cdodders]

Would you consider making something like the Tiger class Cruiser or maybe even old capital ships like the Iowa class or HMS Vanguard?

[Admiral189]

Hey Guys! Just wanted to let you know i'm still here modeling. I slowed down a little because I am studying for my IT Certification.
