This happens only when using specific ships ? Not on other ships, or on mainland ?

Aloha,

Yes, only with some ships : LPD Foudre,  Sirocco , USS Oak Hill, Blue ridge..

No problem with the USS Constellation, D651 Normadie, Sacramento,  USS America or USS San Antonio..
The old version of the USS Oak Hill also works...

I have a minimal installation of DCS on another PC (no other mod): the anomaly is the same....

Enigma remains....

Just a thought but the flight deck has those white lines overlaid of the actual deck as a separate texture file and I noticed that over the rear spot there is a slight rise in that file which sits slightly (very slightly) above the deck, causing a dark shadow under the texture, would that cause any issues with aircraft I wonder. 

I have seen this happening before and where those white lines were painted directly onto the deck texture there wasnt an issue, at least not one that I know of.

Hey Guys! Hope all is well with you all.

In preparation for the release of the upcoming Sinai Map which is to be released soon, I will be creating a good number of Commercial vessels to fill the Suez Canal while also creating a couple of secret projects for you all to enjoy as well. So right now my focus is on commercial vessels along with a couple of warships. I will probably release the Commercial Vessels as a Bundle. Stay Tuned! Thanks for your patience!

[Spino]

Loving the USS Fitzgerald progress!  Any plans for the vertical-launch version of LRASM for the Arleigh Burke ships?

[OnReTech]

need an excavator that will dig out a tanker from the Suez Canal

[Admiral189]

Good Idea OnReTech! I will add that to my list of mods to create. Thanks. 

Spino, I have scripted out the USS Fitzgerald to carry the RIM-67, RIM-161 & RIM-156 ER which has a range of 370 KM. One thing I don't know is exactly what weapons the Fitz is carrying now as there's only limited information out there about it. If I can get firm information I will upgrade to the latest weapons. She will definitely be more advanced than the FFGX.

I am always working on the FITZ no matter what else I have going.

Ref containers ships running into canal banks.

There is an excavator in the game, its part of the South Atlantic Assets pack - it's in Static Vehicles. It goes by the name Cat 345L.

Its excellent quality, a nice model.

Hello,

Here is a screenshot of a discord that talks about lags in relation to the EDM ShellNodes.
Do you think this has anything to do with my FPS issue?

[Admiral189]

Hey Marroux, that's interesting.

So here's what I have found with regard to the EDMs. Some versions of the EDM 3DS Max are really sensitive. For example. There was one version of the EDM PLugin I used and every time I exported the mod from 3DS Max. The mod wouldn't appear in MV. So I tried another version and I was able to export the mod properly and it appeared in MV.  So it all boils down to the version we're using.

Is there anyone else out there that's a helicopter player experiencing a significant amount of lag when flying off the flight deck of the USS Blue Ridge or the USS Oak Hill? Thanks.

Commercial Vessel Update. EVERGREEN Ever Given is coming along.

hehehe .. this one

[Mapi]

other model?

 

 

[Admiral189]

Thanks, MAPI! I have updated the hull texture to match the Ever Given texture above.

[Admiral189]

There are ships waiting to enter the Suez. Is the map out yet? Just kidding. 

Getting close to finishing up the low-poly Commercial Vessels. I will release the High Poly Commercial Vessels shortly afterward. The larger ships are 400 meters or 1312 feet in length. Stay Tuned!

I meant the chimneys, which are combined into one tower?

[Admiral189]

I have been looking at my other ships to see if I can swap it out for the single Stack. If not I will go with what I have. Yeah, I noticed that as well. Thanks

Hey Admiral, Ive read somewhere that an AI  USS Ford is in proggress, is that right ? Who is building it ?  

A big E or a Kitty Hawk would be cool to have

[Admiral189]

Hey Toni, I think Hawkeye60 was working on a Ford Class. Not sure what his plans are with it. 

Honestly, I think ED should add it to their to-do list as it's a team project. They have the tools and manpower. I'm surprised they didn't create Kitty Hawk when they created the Forrestal.

Ford Class Carrier is in early beta testing and will be released soon.

Here's CVN-80 under escort with some of the amazing ships done by the Admiral and protected by Currenthill's updated sensors/weapons. At least I think they are all yours Admiral. Other than Tico and the Burke.

Hi All, the first ship head of the group in the screenshots looks like a LCS Freedom class boat. I am wondering if it's available somewhere for download ? Thanks !....

Hey toan, I wasn't paying much attention when grabbed some ships for the fleet but I thought all are available here on the forums. I'll take a look at the mission file later and see what ship that is

This is what keeps me inspired to create more AI DCS Ship mods. Seeing others working to bring more assets to DCS. Keep it up. The sky is the limit!!
