Adalla Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hope it's ok to post this here. But wanted to share and pay tribute to all the folks who developed the amazing carriers, ships and aircraft to help our dreams come true. Thanks to these forums, and the mods, I was able to successfully land a F4U corsair, fold the wings and park. And then take off from USS Franklin with a boat load (pun intended :)) of F4Us and TBF Avengers. Cant wait to see what the future holds for the WW2 Pacific Theater. Oh, and PLEASE, if someone can make some SBD Dauntless They need some love too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye60 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 @Adalla Send me a PM "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hi thank you for this wonderful video very nice work, however it is a shame to have used an old mod of the F4U the last and much more accomplished. Did you really hang the strand?or is it A.I. Patrick et Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye60 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 @ERIC Hi there! Glad to see you here! I have up-dated this aircraft to use a new prop animation. If you have another, please send to me, or post a link please. A question, Did you see the PM from Toan? About a new model? Thanks! This is a great mod! Merci! 1 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

Patrick et Eric Hi Eric, At times its difficult to find the latest version of mods, particularly for mods not shared on DCS User Files and/or a common location. Most of the time they are drop box links inside threads, that get superseded by a link on next thread page. I wish there would be a central repository for all mods that is more user friendly than DCS user files for searching. Hang the strand? Habe not heard that one before but if you mean was I flying? Yes i flew the landing amd take off you see in the video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adalla Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 (edited) nullAfter considerable testing and learning, managed to get an attack on Zuikaku with Avengers and SBDs going @Hawkeye60. Everything worked well enough. I did decrease the Zuikaku HP from 4000 to 2000. With that, it takes 8x 500lb bombs or 8 torpedoes to sink her. I've contemplated playing with triggers to allow for fire damage as some IJN carriers were sunk with just 2 bombs due to fires. nullnullnullnull Edited April 21 by Adalla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye60 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 @Fab8ball The mod has been up dated to include the liveries. See the BOB thread, last post. The Brothers are going to up-date the prop at some point soon. Enjoy! One of my favorites! 1 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

ggrewe Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) @Adalla, thanks for your great templates & videos, but you forgot your best video? Showing a comparison of most of the carrier mods & a very nice show case for these amazing modders, and their much appreciated work DCS Carriers Showcase (more than 15 community carriers) On 4/26/2024 at 9:13 AM, ERIC said: Hi fantastic work well done.. is there a link for the Yorktown?

ERIC Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Thank you, yes it is planned to repair the Curtiss SB2 flyable as well as the DEWOITINE D-520 the HURRICANE the F6F and to improve the 3d models especially the f4U. I admit I don't understand how to land the f4u on aircraft carriers as a player mod a tutorial or video would be cool. Thanks again to the community for the collective work.

Hawkeye60 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The video of which you speak should be made by @SFC Tako He was the DCS Pilot who made a video of landing on the Enterprise using Mario's Bearcat! Way back when we used the P51 fm in the saved games location, before the lock down! LOL I spoke with him recently. He told me a new Prop landing video was coming soon. Almost forgot, NO HOOK!

Yeah I am trying not to spam all my WW2 videos on here, but yeah was amazing to see how many great carriers are available from the community. @Hawkeye60 looking forward one day to get a reskinned Enterprise as it needs some love compared to the other Yorktown-class carriers Also, any plans for Lexington and Saratoga one day? 7 hours ago, ERIC said: Thank you, yes it is planned to repair the Curtiss SB2 flyable as well as the DEWOITINE D-520 the HURRICANE the F6F and to improve the 3d models especially the f4U.

Thanks again to the community for the collective work.null Eric et Patrick Oh that's awesome. As soon as we have a working flyable F6F, I'll switch to it as Corsairs were not typical in the Fast Carrier Task Force. I believe only 2 squadrons of Corsairs made it aboard towards end of war. Mostly was Wildcats and Hellcats. I've started a new Task Force 17 series campaign, if interested I can post some of those on here. Campaign premise is Marianas are occupied by Japan and Task Force 17 is tasked with retaking the Marianas back. Also, I managed to have dynamic decks added to use F10 menu to spawn statics for launch and recovery, as well as FCLP boxlights to add lights to the carriers for night ops Edited April 27 by Adalla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
