Hawkeye60 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Markindels Durance Class of Support Ship for 2.5.6 History: This Mod started life as one half of Marios' excellent De Gaulle Mod, she was permanently attached to De Gaulle by fuel cables etc. She originated in the FSX community and Mario had permission to convert it to DCS, it was then withdrawn by ED during 'the great cull', and Mario quit the game. Before he did so I asked him to split the 2 ships, and we now have De Gaulle and Durance as 2 separate models. When 2.5.5 arrived this mod, along with many others, did not work, so we set about resurrecting it for 2.5.5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod is now been made available to all! With thanks to Mario, And crazyeddie for the permission to share it here. In recognition of the Cuesta Brothers fine work, with the le Clem and Charles de Gaulle mods, I thank you! This ones for you! And for Mario! Salute! Hawkeye60 - 1/30/2021 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits: Hawkeye, who suffered all my arguing and bullying to convert the old edm into the 2.5.5 format. I then created the 5 different liveries you can have with this ship: French Somme - A631 - The default model French Var A608 French Marne A630 ARA Patagonia B1 Still in service HMAS Success OR304 Still in service, to be withdrawn 2019 RFA Tidewave A135 Fictional There are 2 different models of each ship, 1 with the centre crane, 1 without, with some slight variations in paintwork. The crane appears to have been deleted on some ships later in life. Each ship has appropriate flags. Put the Mod 'Durance Class' into your Saved Games/Mods/Tech Folder Put the folders 'Classe_Durance_Flags' and 'Classe_Durance_nc' into your Saved Games/DCS.Liveries folder. If you dont have that now is the time to learn how to do it, create a folder and call it DCS.Liveries, place it in your Saved Games Folder, and thats it. Drop any new liveries in there, simples !! Select Durance with Crane or Withour Crane then select the Skin from the Liveries Drop Down in he Mission Editor. The Flight Deck is useable for helo's, watch the superstructure, it's not a big deck. This has been a labour of love, an undignified and troublesome labour at times, and its not perfect, we have yet to perfect perfect.

For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

toan Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Hello, A big thanks to you for this great refuelling ship. Together with the Clemenceau or Charles de Gaulle carriers, it makes an amazing naval airpower task force. Only missing is now the FREMM AA frigate, which was available in FSX, I think. Thanks for sharing this amazing Mod !... Toan

RWC Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Does anyone have a fully updated version of the CDG that works with DCS 2.9, because all the ones available now, do not seem to work for me. Please upload and link us in here, please.

Eduardo Hi Rudel, Thanks for responding. It's absolutely not about the Durance, but more on the CHarles de Gaulle that was attached to this beauty. But only the link is now posted of the Durance, and i can't find a descend working model of the CDG that is fully updated for DCS 2.9 AND working ! There are 3 versions now available on here, all 3 outdated (2015 and 2018). Then there is the CHARLES DE GAULLE 004 2.7.10, which is only an update to the 003 version, which is no longer available ! So that file became useless without the 003 version to update, and doesn't function properly even when adding the 004 version, because it's missing files. I was hoping to find a functional version of the CDG, really. Kind Regards, RWC. Edited August 9 by RWC

I don't have the carrier on my DCS, only the supply ship, which I employ on some of my South Atlantic Map missions. 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

This is one of the biggest carriers of the French fleet, and a must-have addition, I think. There is of course the Clemenceau, but also this leaves some misfunctions trying to launch planes from its decks after the updates (which should be the Rafale btw and not the old F-8) that was used in the past yes from 1961 and so on. So where do we go from here on the French navy, if we do not have a descent super carrier to take off from using modern type aircraft ? Edited August 9 by RWC
