Civilian Objects And Vehicles

[crazyeddie]

The glass issue is resolved, it was my version of the mod, I had screwed it up, now fixed. 

Year and years ago I saw a dark blue RN Sea King with dayglo panels, might have been on HMS Ark Royal IV or HMS Eagle, but I have never been able to find an image of it.

They moved on to the light sea grey airframes after that and used those up until the death of RN Air Sea Rescue.

Decided to do it anyway:

mmarques - I will try an Aussie skin next.

Sorry for being lazy, yep downloading the skins, och ye did a Yellow one too, thank you. 

Pity no one ever did a Whirlwind, HAR10, they sounded great, I never realised though that their payload was RUBBISH.

We had a Commando version with us in Norway way back 81, the Puma guys used to take the micky about its speed. I'll say it straight, it was always serviceable......

When I joined the Corps the RN was just phasing out the naval Whirlwinds, and you are right, they were bloody useless. I was on 845 and 846 Sqns when we flew Wessex 5's and their payload wasnt all that great either, they actually led to the Land Rover Company developing the Lightweight Land Rover specifically for 3 Cdo Bde , so that we Bootnecks could air lift them ashore from the Carriers, a normal LR SWB/GS was far too heavy even stripped down to the bare bones.  I had moved back into the Bde when the Sea Kings arrived so never got to play with those.  Actually learned my MAOT/ATC job partly on RAF Puma's, we liked those beasts, good payload. My first helo was the wee Sioux, we used them as airborne FAC platforms. Happy days.

How is everyone setting up to get Eddies awesome Liveries to show?

The Liveries are still limited for me..

[crazyeddie]

Oban - I'll pm you.

[crazyeddie]

 

This is the last one ... I'm taking a break from modding for a wee while. 

Here is the complete set with all the latest updates to them, minor changes, better soot markings etc etc etc . Delete the previous versions and use these. Depending on how you have this mod set up in your game will depend on how you see the liveries, so you might have to make adjustments to this pack to get it to work in your game.

Thank you EightBall and Crazyeddie for your work.

This IA mod is really wonderfull

 

[mmarques]

Absolutely fantastic @Eight Balland @crazyeddie it is marvellous!

[Eight Ball]

Thanks guys

Wonderful job @crazyeddie! Whenever you got the time, would you mind sending your version of the mod? Hopefully I can release an update this weekend.

[crazyeddie]

Okay - Here is my heavily doctored version of your super MOD, with all my new liveries.  Its a big file now but I have reduced the textures to just .dds files, so that should help with downloading it a bit. 

The static aircraft are now in the Helicopters drop down in the ME,  folded blades and open blades, you cant find them under the structures option any more. That list is alfa numeric (normally, but not always) so the westlands stuff tends to drop to the bottom of that list, if you cant see it beside the sikorsky look below it. 

NOW - This works flawlessly for me in my Beta game, but Oban had trouble getting the liveries to show up with this version yesterday, he found that he had to move all of the aircraft  .lua files from the database folder and drop them in beside the entry.lua, which is where most other mods have them, and that solved the problem. I have no idea why that happened for him in that way because mine are still in the database folder as you will see, and mine works perfectly, but if you have an issue try that first.

 

Link broken -

Thanks @crazyeddie, the link seems to be broken, tho. I get an error 404 "can"t find the page"

 

Weird issue Oban had, this is how I organise all my mods and this is also how ED and 3rd parties do

Before you leave, any chance of the Indian Navy Sea King?

[crazyeddie]

Sorry - Dropbox are trying to force me to buy a yearly package and I dont intend to pay that kind of price, so they have blocked my account.  I have a free 2GB package which is more than enough for what I want, I will try to restore that. 

 

[Tomcatter87]

Thanks for  your effort and your great work for the community.

[crazyeddie]

I overused my free 20gb bandwidth allocation (first time ever !!) and now they have blocked me for 24 hours, sorry guys, you will have to wait. 

Edit - Just trying my Google Drive account to see if that will work - wait 5

Stratos - I would do that but I have not got any Indian fonts.  If you know what the font name is I will try to find it.

Please remember I am still learning and so I have problems like this one. I am using the RAFT in a mission and I have 1 guy in it. I am to pick him up for rescue. I hover next to the raft for 20 seconds in a small zone in the HUEY and the Raft and Guy will de-spawn and a new Late activation  empty raft will spawn in its place. Crew will then reply We got this one. and I move to the next. What I need help understanding is would the re-spawn cause the HUEY to blowup if I was touching it when it spawned in? I get a random explosion  event with the Huey I am not sure why. I will recreate a small version of it if needed but the event doesn't occur all the time. If this has happened to you and you understand why it does please let me know.

If the guy is linked to the raft he will de-spawn with the raft or fall into the water not sure what but he goes away and that is what I want. I wish you could Late activation the Carrier Personnel.

@DishDoggieI'm not sure I understand the issue, it might be easier with a small video?

Well I understand now what I did wrong. Not sure anyone will understand it was late last night. I put the raft in a zone then I used that zone named Raft 6 (then me like a boob) I used that name for an explosion that was meant for another zone on the Ship NOT the raft. My fault and rookies like me lol it makes me laugh at myself so I learn the hard way lol. Sorry I found my error.

Time we all need more time. I would love to see a Livery for the Landing pad ship of a Red Cross Ship for hurt passenger drop off. Love the Naval Pack.
