ADMIRAL189'S CORNER - INCOMING SHIP MODELS

[Admiral189]

Ok try my recommendation and let me know if it appears afterward.

The mod I uploaded is what I'm playing with in DCS at the moment. I ran the latest update yesterday and it is still fine. I'm currently using OpenBeta version 2.8.3.37854

Bonjour Papy2.

Donc, pour tous ceux qui ont téléchargé le mod Normandie et qui ont des problèmes pour voir le mod dans DCS. J'ai initialement téléchargé le Normandie en utilisant le gestionnaire de mods OVGME, ce qui signifie que le mod se trouve dans deux dossiers. J'ai donc re-téléchargé le mod sans ce 2ème dossier. Vous pouvez donc soit télécharger à nouveau le mod, soit simplement supprimer le dossier parent ou supérieur. Cela devrait corriger votre problème. Veuillez m'envoyer un MP si vous continuez à avoir des problèmes après avoir supprimé le dossier parent.

Merci également de remplacer le fichier existant "D651_Normandie.lods.ship_wake.edm" dans le dossier shapes par le fichier ci-dessous. Il corrige le sillage des navires. Merci.

I downloaded again from page 1
In the .zip folder
Must be missing .lua files
No ?

Hello Pappy, no, the LUA files are now located in the Database folder (as of DCS 2.8, I think). Look in its sub-folders called : Navy, Sensors and Weapons. This is a cleaner way to implement the data inside the software, I guess. All the needed files exist and the Mod works correctly. Enjoy !

[Admiral189]

Thanks, Toan! 

He's correct Pappy. It's a much better way to manage the mods when all the files have been separated properly.  

One thing that was brought to my attention was the existence of submarine files in the main Normandie Lua file. They do not cause conflicts as I have tested them with a submarine in DCS. You will actually see the Normandie go into defensive mode if it detects a submarine and launches torpedoes. 

Pappy, if you are still having issues send me a PM and I will assist you to get her into DCS and up and running.

To: Admiral189

Have downloaded ship, placed mods/tech (along with your other ships), Aquitaine can be placed in the ME and present encyclopedia but is not appearing in game.

Await further instructions.

[Admiral189]

737Driver. CinC Fleet! Good one! 

Ok, first things first. Please ensure you do not have my old Aquitaine D650 mod in your savegames/tech folder because that will cause a conflict and possibly crash your DCS and the Normandie mod will not appear in DCS. 

2nd. I have attached my mod which I'm currently playing within DCS right now. The only change is I have disabled the Submarine Scripting in the D651_Normandie.lua file.

3rd. Upzip the Please Open Me file below and D651_Normandie DCS mod will be located inside the tech folder.  I will also place the updated Normandie File on page #1 as well.

I tested in DCS prior to packing up the file. Thanks.

One other ship that would be nice to have is a Flight I Arleigh Burke.  There's a decent free 3D model of it here in case the Admiral is interested.

Edit: Didn't realize that the Admiral is working on USS Fitzgerald (a Flight I AB) when I posted this.

Hey Spino!

Fitzgerald is a slow WIP. Lots of work involved to bring her to life. Served on her for five years!!

Hey Guys! I'm going out on a Limb hereby releasing my LPD Foundre Mod which has 3 liveries for Brazil, France, and Chile.

This is a basic mod but works very well. Once I get the Anti Air weapons working again I will release an update. She does have countermeasures to avoid missile attacks. She also has 4-5 landing positions for helicopters. I've only been able to land to CH-53s onboard her.

Please let me know if you have any major technical issues! Enjoy! Thanks.

Once more, good job and thanks a lot 

[Admiral189]

Your welcome Akitaken! Thanks!

[HawaiianRyan]

Love your mods, @Admiral189.

 

Is the Foundre ship misspelled (seems like it should not have an n)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foudre-class_landing_platform_dock

[Admiral189]

Your right Hawaiian. Not sure where I got that name from. I will correct it. Good catch. Easy Fix. Thanks.

[sushy73]

Hi Admiral .

Thank you very much again for all your job.

 

 

 

[Admiral189]

Your welcome Sushy! I appreciate it.

[crazyeddie]

A few more Brit warships or RFA's would be nice, or  some other nations Fleet Tankets and Supply Ships   

Warships are good of course, but they need supporting.

Well, the only missing French surface ship now is the Forbin class destroyer, important for the CDG carrier escort ! Next will be the new oiler Jacques Chevalier, which is just undergoing sea trials now, and the new light frigates FDI class Amiral Ronac'h... Many thanks Admiral for your superb Mods !

[sushy73]

Hi Toan and Admiral .

I'd love to see the attack submarine "Suffren" in the DCS world too

Indeed, very interesting sub. Thanks Sushy !

Hello Admiral,

Same thing for me as for Pappy2, but with The 'Foudre'!!! She appears in the ME, but not in the game. 

[Admiral189]

Mric29, PM me when you have time and I will assist you. I converted Normandie back to the old way of creating mods. I will send it to you. 

Nice photo Sushy! Looks like the entire French Fleet is there. I don't see any good Suffren models out there. 

Eddie, I have another Supply ship from my Japanese Fleet. I think it would be a great addition to DCS. 

So many mods but just not enough time.  I'm currently finishing up the Mt Whitney at the moment.

Wow...long thread. Great Ships.

How do I tell which are WWII ships for Normandy and the Channel maps?  

Well, there are no WWII ships in this thread. But there exist specific threads in the User Forums for that, including Allied, Japenese and Axis ships threads. Enjoy !
