[HiJack]

Is this MOD for DCS World Silver Dragon?

[Silver_Dragon]

correct, 1.2.X, but no tested on previous versions.

[Silver_Dragon]

Ok, first problem fixed ;).

 

Project 123

 

Project 205U

 

Project 11451

Project 11451 ASW cortette in progress

 

[Silver_Dragon]

Sorry, that move very slow

 

Type 53-40 torpedo

 

Project 205U [OSA I]

 

Project 11451 ASW cortette

[Silver_Dragon]

 

Improvements on Project 183: depth charges, mine rails, propeller sharps, bulk doors, some modification on torpedo tubes and air intakes

 

¿Some good tutorial 3ds max to build propellers?

Project 11451 ASW cortette forward hidrodinamic wing complete

 

 

A friend give my them to convert that LCM-1E to DCS:W

 

 

some "testing"

 

 

the test has acceptable, but the up / down movement put the LCM-1E under the surface, need more fixes.

 

[Silver_Dragon]

Today with Project 205U [Osa I]

 

Missile containers doors and exhausts, some bridge windows and aft superstructure.

 

A size comparative test photo, with all ships on projects:

 

 

From right to left Project 11451 [Murka class], LCM-1E, DCS patrol boat, Project 183 torpedo boat y Project 205 [Osa I]

 

The LCM-1E yesterday was a incorrect size, I change them and now has OK. In previous photos LCM-1E show correct with others ships. Osa I no show today improvements.

Looks great Silver Dragon, thanks for sharing

[aap_flanker]

looking forward for this :)

[Paganus]

Did ED add "SEA" to the DCSWorld graphic just for you? ;)

 

Looking good.

[Silver_Dragon]

Ok, testing animation, on modelview the model work properly, but DCS:W now don´t load the model..... or start.

 

Put model code....

A incorrect connect name..... :cry: Ok, review model :book:

 

Edit:

Ok, a wall in front on me..... Can something help me explain what is a "connector"?... my 3Ds Max use has "limited" :(

[Xeno426]

Great. first model work..... ¿Something call for a box of eggs?

 

Not sure if I need to rotate the model 90 degrees to correct position.

The mod file download for this is far too large. I ripped out the two texture files you changed (ao-2_5rt.tga and ptab-25-paint.bmp), put them in my TempTexture directory and it worked fine. You may want to update your mod thusly, as it would drastically reduce the mod file size.

[Silver_Dragon]

i´m not test them on 1.2.1-1.2.2, can confirm them world fine? I need search any solution to put them on tech mod directory and replace early models.

[Xeno426]

Your mod works fine in the latest version of DCS World 1.2.2, with the aforementioned change (placing ao-2_5rt.tga.dds and ptab-25-paint.bmp.dds into the TempTextures dir).

[Silver_Dragon]

Thanks Xwno426

 

meanwhile:

 

Project 183 2M-3M guns animation testing. (work, need little fix)

 

Project 11451 initial aft propellers and AK-176 cannon progress.

[Silver_Dragon]

Small details make big work.
