Bungo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Hello All, ================================================================== NOTICE: (April 7, 2021) HMAS Melbourne v1.1 is updated on ED's User Files for download. ================================================================== HMAS Melbourne II (R21) is released. You will find it with all of my liveries and mods here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/sort-is-date_desc/user-is-Bungo/apply/?PER_PAGE=100 ** Be sure to download all the download parts ** (I had to split it up to overcome the 300MB upload limit on the User Files) Launches the Hornet, Tomcat, Harrier, and the A-4E-C (EFM Only), and any helo you care to use.. There will be 3 variants included: HMAS Melbourne (Fixed Wing) - This is the main variant and will launch and recover all the aircraft mentioned above. It has a workaround to enable the A-4 Skyhawk to launch with any payload as, at 43m long, the catapult is very short (Nimitz class is ~115m in sim). HMAS Melbourne (Fixed Wing - WIP) - This is the same as above wbut with the catapult actually at 43m. The Tomcat and Hornet will launch from it with varying degrees of success. It's purpose is for me to try to get the A-4 working with the native length catapult definition. Use at your own discression. Majestic Class STOVL - a fictional ASW/LPH variant without the bridle arrestor, mirror landing aid, catapult and arresting gear. Will include the following liveries: HMAS Melbourne (Fixed Wing) (inc WIP): - 1970s with yellow markings on flight deck - 1980s with red markings on flight deck - 1960s with solid yellow and white flight deck markings - ARA Veinticinco de Mayo (V2) - NAeL Minas Gerais (A11) - HMCS Bonaventure (R22) - HMS Centaur (R06) - HMS Warrior (R31) Majestic Class STOVL: - HMAS Sydney (R17) - Fictioinal upgrade to an LPH - HMS Albion (R07) - HMS Bulwark (R08) RAN 805 Squadron liveries for all these and HMAS Vampire and Vendetta for the battle group can be found here: Bungo's DCS Skins and Ships The Oliver Hazard Perry Class was the basis of the RAN's Adelaide class, so they can be added for some variation to the battle group.

joey45 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Awesome. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Scotch75 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hey Bungo, looks brilliant mate, well done. BTW, is the S-2 Tracker available as AI in the game or statics? Where do you get it from?Cheers!Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk W10 Home 64Bit, Intel Skylake I5 6600K 3.50GHz, ASUS ROG Stryx Z270F MoBo, 32GB G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD (OS), Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD, 2TB Seagate SDHD, 2TB WD Green HDD, GALAX GTX GeForce 1070 EXOC Sniper White 8GB VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Not sure of the lineage of the S-2, so It's not mine to say if it can or can't be released. It's not included with the Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, all good. Would be good to discover who did the S-2, then add a RAN Sea King to complete the Air Wing.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk W10 Home 64Bit, Intel Skylake I5 6600K 3.50GHz, ASUS ROG Stryx Z270F MoBo, 32GB G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD (OS), Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD, 2TB Seagate SDHD, 2TB WD Green HDD, GALAX GTX GeForce 1070 EXOC Sniper White 8GB VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TempestRiser Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) @Bungo first of all, congratulations for your amazing work ! Now i'm really curious about one thing... in real life could this ship launch a fully loaded Hornet or Tomcat ? they are really heavy planes and the Melbourne is a late WW2 project. Can't wait to play a mission with the A-4 Skyhawk with this carrier ! Edited February 11, 2021 by TempestRiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 I doubt it, but it makes it more useable and flexible in DCS if it can. It has trouble with SFM aircraft, but I have not tested many of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zukov Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The level of detail is amazing, superior of any ship in DCS! im not couting the carriers because its a module itself. Epic work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacson158 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Finalmente, o pessoal dos moderadores estão compreendendo que se formos esperar que ED lançe alguma coisa diferente para nos, amantes do game, estaremos perdidos. A aviação naval teve um grande desenvolvimento ao longo dos anos 60- 70 e 80, participando de varios conflitos ao longo destes anos. Tive dois modulos antigos que ED quebrou os codigos que foi o F9F Panther , o F8U Cruzader , mas eu gostaria de ver estes mods ativos de novo. Tenho esperança de poder voar o SeaKing, um excelente helicoptero que faz falta no DCS. Torço para que o nosso amigo Bungo, finalize o seu trabalho para a nossa alegria. Muito obrigado, amigo e va em frente com os seus projetos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71st_AH Rob Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Bonnie's catapult lived on in Melbourne after she was decommissioned. So is HMS Warrior the angled deck after the conversion that would become ARA Independencia or is it the straight deck that served as HMCS Warrior? Also, could you do a skin for HMCS Magnificent? She would be closer to Warrior than Bonnie was. Edited February 12, 2021 by 71st_AH Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) These images are a little old, but you get the idea. II made the Bonnie, but the others are the work of an Englishman with an interest in variants of this carrier.

71st_AH Rob Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 She is Magnificent! She what I did there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 HMCS Magnificent was a straight through deck for all of it's service life as far as I can tell. I don't have arrestors for a straight through deck. I could make something, but not for the inital release. Nothing to stop people from adding liveries if they wish. The more the merrier. I can produce a template for anyone interested...eventually. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
