Yeah ! I got the bunch but the brooklyn s not even showing up.. bummer, but I believe that with a little patience they will come back again..

Great Mod, some things i noticed while trying it out:

 

if you place the Fletchers as static objects they will not show up in game.

 

The 5" guns on the Fletchers and Iowas were dual purpose and actually designed with a focus on anti aircraft use, coding them as CIWS like the Breda 90mm on your italian ships would therefore be more realistic in my opinion.

 

Finally, always on the Fletchers none of the 40mm mounts are working, and if i remember right two of them present on the model are missing from the .lua

[upyr1]

My question for ya'll is if you had thought about letting Eagle use these assets?

[Night Owl]

I was wondering if anyone (developers or users) had any luck with modding the shells fired by the 16 inch guns? I tried desperately to edit the lua files following the approach that ED uses in some of its core mods to add new shell types, but whenever I change the shell type in Iowa.lua, the ship disappears from the missions. 

 

What I did was:

 in Entry.lua => dofile(current_mod_path..'/Iowa_Ammo.lua')

 

in Iowa_Ammo.lua add an entry for 406mm shells with the appropriate explosives etc.

 

in Iowa.lua change the shell type in the description of the large guns to my custom shell name

 

Result: No Iowa anymore

OK, 

These ships are simply beautiful. I think we are all in agreement.

Now at the risk of sounding like a complete dufus, what can be done with them? Are they pending WWII assets that have not made it into the game?

Or can they be used as a mod and placed into DCS by anyone who chooses to?

I still have lots to learn about this sim............

^ These are just custom, unofficial naval units to be used in the mission editor as you see fit (if building missions with custom content in them is your thing). Mind you, just like with every private mods out there, there's never a guarantee they'll work correctly with latest version of the game. A bit of trial and error is required.

Hi, Hawkeye60.

Do you have a plan to retouch your Fletcher DD to its 1960s style ?
- remove 3rd 5-inch turret , all torpedo tubes , all 40mm / 20mm guns , all depth charge K-guns (keep depth charge dropping racks remaining).
- replace radars , add some communication antennas.
- add 3x 3-inch twin AAA with their trackers.
- add 2x triple lightweight anti-submarine torpedo tubes.

Fitting Vietnam war and later those Fletchers were sold to Argentina / Chile / Greece / Turkey etc.
So, modernized Fletcher model will fit South Atlantic map and Syria map.

Sumner class DDs (published as WW2 Allied Atlantic fleet) were also modernized for 1960s and sold to same navies later.

thank you.

This MOD does not exist here anymore. Is there a way to get it? I wanted to buy the Jug today and fly the Marianas against the IJN forces.

I just downloaded the mod, and both ships still work, it just needs some updating to the LUA for the ME and adding the new ship's wake to them.

[Hawkeye60]

In fact, I DO have a modern Fletcher class In progress.

And the same for the Iowa.

Both are taking longer than expected.

There will be a new thread for them, when they are close to finished.

 

 

@UN9249

If you wish to edit the ship numbers or anything else,

you must UN-zip the texture zip, and edit one of the ship textures.

This is how I added the other hull numbers.

USS Fletcher can't be static object. What to fix?

Is there any way to tone down the lighting on the Fletcher class? They're super green.

I'm working with Hawkeye on his Discord to find the model that he did where the green UFO light was removed. Ive checked two his offered now but no joy.
If you join on his DIscord there's a bit of a mod renaissance going on. https://discord.gg/Uxypkx2j
and there's a few mods Ive never seen that look fantastic that are worth the journey.

I realize that Hawkeye's expertise lies with the naval variety however, given the title of the post, I thought I'd throw in my suggestion/request for a couple of iconic PTO aircraft: how about a PBY for us to place on the airfields as eye candy or have flying in the mission? And while you're at it, why not a PB4Y (B-24) that can carry and deploy the Bat bomb, since I believe that it was the only a/c that actually employed that particular weapon in combat. I also realize that ED is planning to produce the PBY as an AI asset at some point in time however I have much more faith that a modder such as Hawkeye would have it in game at least a year earlier than ED!
