VictorDavion Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 It would be sweet if someone would take the Forrestal and mod it to make it a UK carrier similar to the Prince Phillip mod. UK deck and hull markings like the Ark Royal R09. Would go well with all the Royal Navy skins.

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."
crazyeddie Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Thanks Greg - That's the way to hide a Carrier - inside a bloody airplane folder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Complicated looking set of skins, but never say never Eh ! CVA01 perhaps, looks about the right shape (ish!). Edited October 28, 2021 by crazyeddie 1
crazyeddie Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Hmmmm ... Just had a closer look at this ships texture files, I wont be attempting anything with this model, its way too complicated. I would think the only people who could change that deck are the guys who made the original model and have all the 3dmax files, or somebody with way more skill than I have.

joey45 Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 There is one being done, not by me tho. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

crazyeddie Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Who's doing it Joey, I would like to make a CVA01 deck for it but have no idea how to do it with those kinds of texture files. I would like to ask them. ?
VictorDavion Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Someone already posted a modded deck for it so it can be done: USS Forrestal Deck Paint Upgrade (digitalcombatsimulator.com)
crazyeddie Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 I dont think that is a new deck texture, he has just made the existing deck textures brighter, that a whole different ball game to creating a different deck. Interesting though, thanks for the heads up, I missed that on the download site.
VictorDavion Posted October 29, 2021 Author Posted October 29, 2021 The super carrier was modded as well for the Prince Phillip but not sure if those textures are more or less complicated than the Forrestal. That one is on the DCS site as well.
crazyeddie Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Its been done - three versions. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319178/ 1
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Stupid question: would there be 1 or 3 new carriers then? I Fly, Therefore I Am. One cannot go around not saying "Thank you" every time these days, can't you? YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc9BDi-STaqgWsjNiHbW0fA

VictorDavion Posted October 29, 2021 Author Posted October 29, 2021 Yeah saw them pretty solid. Still was hoping for a bit closer to the R09 deck markings with the helo spots etc but beggars can't be choosers lol.
crazyeddie Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Bungo is doing an Ark Royal, it looks excellent and will be up to his HMAS Melbourne standard I'm sure. No point in trying to replicate that. I am looking at this skinset with a view to doing a UK style deck, trying to get rid of the black paintwork on the island is proving to be a rather lengthy nightmare and as I said above, that deck is going to be very difficult to alter. Its only ever going to be a paintjob though, I might try for a fictional CVA01 - but dont expect it anytime soon. I have other projects that are higher up the list of things to do.

crazyeddie Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 HMS Formidable CVA01 - One name that was being considered at the time, unlikely to have been the name chosen. Lot of work to do on her yet.

Yeah saw that but there hasnt been any word or updates in quite some time. Looking forward to seeing your outcome.
crazyeddie Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 HMS Formidable - Fictional CVA - Helo spots do not match the working model, thats an lua issue not a texture issue. plus a few other compromises to fit the paintjob to the model. Not finished yet ... still got things to do. Will do 2 versions, 1 with helo spots and 1 without. 2

crazyeddie Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Uploaded to the DCS Site this morning - HMS Formidable with helo spots on the deck and ships number - R59 - Plus a no number no helo spots version for you to play with if you want. Why R59 - The number is embedded on the island structure in spotlights and they cant be painted out, so decided to stick with it. It's a nice number, it matches my IQ !! Why no helo spots. The actual helo spots this mod uses are quite weird, 2 side by side up front and 2 side by side down aft, so the spots I painted will not actually work with the lua as it is now. I will change my lua to fit my spots (possibly) but to save you the trouble here is one deck without them. I have not tested the actual mod fully yet so if you find issues with that take it up with ED please, I just paint things. Edited November 1, 2021 by crazyeddie
VictorDavion Posted November 1, 2021 Author Posted November 1, 2021 Thanks bro for knocking that out...I'll check them out once they show up on the site.
