Admiral189 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Posted February 27, 2022 Nice! Thanks for posting Toan!! Over the past few days i have been trying to create 4k textures. Anything less doesn't look great once applied to the model ships hull unless it's just a plain texture with no wearing or rust. I also study textures from other models i have. 1
Spino Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Is there a way to make liveries for your ships? For example the USS Bowen is a Knox class FF, and lots of those were built.

Admiral189 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Posted March 6, 2022 Hello Spino, Yes, i can send you or anyone else the Adobe Photoshop template i created and the Hull number & name can be changed. Just have to create the livery .lua file for each ship. That would be the quickest way!!
fargo007 Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 I know you do big ships but how about a zodiac type special operations boat mod? Similar to this: It would be just stellar if we could have this to deploy out of helicopters. Thanks for looking! /Fargo 1 Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/
ghostmike Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) There is "Naval MOD Collection" MOD from which some ships still work, among other things there is "Gun and Patrol_Boats" and there are some small boats included. Also a Zodiac, but without people in it. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3304473/ Here on the first page there is a CB-90H Fast Attack Alpha and a USCG Defender in the US Coast Guard Vessels MOD. However, I haven't been able to get it to drive yet. Edited March 7, 2022 by ghostmike 1
fargo007 Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Thank you ghostmike, will check them out. 1 Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/
fargo007 Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 That zodiac does indeed still work, but it looks very.... cartoon-like. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/
ghostmike Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Here is the Fast Attack Alpha, a very nice model and the Defender Boot, also very nice. Oddly enough, it drove today too! Edited March 7, 2022 by ghostmike
Shrike88 Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Any thought to smaller pirate sized vessels ? I know you have added the Iranian fast attack craft, however with the advent of the Apache, some light interdiction work would be awesome. Not sure the names or types of vessels, but larger than rigid hulls, and the long outboard type boats seen on tv. I am sure there are lots of different types of vessels they have used. Apache's escorting shipping lanes would be a great and different style of mission.
ghostmike Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) I still found the boats in the pictures. However, I first have to look for where I found them. If there is a need. 1x with 1MG 1x with 2MG 1x with Seacat SAM missiles This could be from the admiral. But they're pretty big. Edited March 8, 2022 by ghostmike
joey45 Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Those 3 boats are mine.. 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Hawkeye60 Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 And, I can tell you most of the ships in that "Naval mod pack" Were created by Markindel, and myself. Long ago. I am surprised some still work! FYI, The Italian ships can be found here, As well as the German ships. I do still have the max files for many others. There is also the hovercraft, listed on page one of this thread which also was made by Mario, fixed by me, and made whole again by SuntSag, the mission editor master! The Admiral hosted it for me so all would find it. It was part of the USS Essex/ Saipan mod, long since depreciated. However, I also have the max files for all four ships! It could live again! And Thanks Admiral, You do outstanding work, for free, For all to enjoy. A honorable endeavor for sure! Cheers! 2 2 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

A lot of fine detail on the USS Sacramento but it's all worth it.. Both projects are coming along well... WIP!!! Looks fantastic.

Admiral189 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Posted March 13, 2022 GhostRider, It would take a lot of time to work on the Missouri as there are a lot of weapons that would need to be scripted but could be done. I would have to dedicate all my time to it. There's already an Iowa model out there in DCS. Shrike, i can easily make a number of pirate vessels seeing how the Apache will be dropping soon i think. I also still need to release the Navy Tugboat as well. So much i can do but so little time to do it. I am always working on models but sometimes Life gets in the way and it throws me off track. So that slows me down a lot. 3 1

Admiral189 Posted March 26, 2022 Author Posted March 26, 2022 Hey Guys! I'm still here. Spino, Bainbridge wasn't equipped with Big Guns. I can easily add some 50 CALs. I'm still working on the Supply ships. The USS Sacremento is a lot of work. So i've had to break it up in stages working from the bow to the stern. Also, time hasn't been on my side. I'm also working on an offshore vessel to support the AH-64 that was released. I will reveal what it is once i'm close to release! 10 1
toni Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Yeah thanks for all, will that be an Iwo Jima class LPH ?

DJ Reonic Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Take your time, @Admiral189. I use many of your ships in my scenarios, and I am anxiously awaiting each new project, but I can wait. Don't burn yourself out.
Penguin625 Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 i have a question? for some reason after the update with the Apache was released none of my mods seem to work. my install is as follows: C Drive// Users// My Name // Saved Games // DCS Open Beta // Mods. I have Tech and aircraft folders for either aircraft or ships but when i put a mod in either of the folders and then load the game and then load into the editor to find them they aren't anywhere to be found. Any thoughts as how to fix??
