CHSubZero Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 The Liaoning would be great! Besides CVN-77 we than have also a second carrier on russian side. Great! Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
zaelu Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 So you have also the rest of the textures? Can it be "reassembled?"

crazyeddie Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 So you have also the rest of the textures? Can it be "reassembled?" I have and it can, unfortunately Tomcatz used the original Kutz deck textures and there are some big colour overlaps and it's not a good fit in places, I am working on new deck textures for both ships. I am no skinner and my best shot will be similar to the Liaoning above, but at least it will look right and either way they are better looking ships than the in game Kutz. A better skinner might do better skins if there is enough interest in this. I imagine DCS will upgrade their model in due course, so until then.
zaelu Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 OK. It will be good enough till ED renew the carrier models (probably close to F-18C module release). Looking forward for your adaptation of Tom's model!

CHSubZero Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 What comes out when I start mixing together couple of old FC2 mods and files created by other users in this board? Of course 4 carriers in DCS World 1.2.4 side by side: CVN-70 Vinson CVN-77 Bush Admiral Kuznetsov Liaoning (needs new deck skin) See screens of my Huey on the "Liaoning" Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
crazyeddie Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) That's where I am heading with this: 2 x USA CVN's (Done), Kutz (New Decks being done, the existing decks do not fit well at all) and Liaoning (New decks done), just waiting for HungaroJET to do a new EDM for Liaoing to allow for a different deck texture. He did the work on the original Tomcatz CVN edm's to allow for 2 different deck textures. Thank god we have guys like him on here to help with the difficult stuff. You could actually have 3 x CVN's if you keep the existing game model, but you will run out of viable 'host' ship models to use. Gain a carrier - we loose something else. I have opted to use up the existing CVN, the existing Kutz and the 2 Russian submarines, they are so small they will not be missed. The Kutz deck is proving to be a real pain in the ass to do, lots of work involved and I am no skinner ..... :( Kutz deck so far ... Edited June 12, 2013 by crazyeddie
CHSubZero Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 You need a EDM with different skin files than the kuznetsov for the deck? Give me 10mins and you have it :-) wanna have? Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
zaelu Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I hope you guys won't keep them just for you :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least

CHSubZero Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 On my computers I have 4 different carriers as you can see in my post before. I'm currently doing crazyeddie's needs and split the skins between Liaoning and Kuznetsov... Give me a couple of minutes (10-20) :D Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
crazyeddie Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 You need a EDM with different skin files than the kuznetsov for the deck? Give me 10mins and you have it :-) wanna have? If you can change the Kutz edm mate that would be brilliant. Change the 2 deck files to these names Liaon-Deck-01.bmp Liaon-Deck-02.bmp and change the Su33 on the deck files names to: SU-33-Liaon-R-06.bmp SU-33-Liaon-L-06.bmp Hungarojet was doing it but he said he was very busy and he might not have time, so any other help would be very much appreciated. Fear naught - I will wrap this 4 ship bundle up and post a link when I have done with it, but it will be a while yet, I suffer from Dystonia and things that take you ten minutes take me 30, It's a slow process, bit like my sex life .....................
crazyeddie Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Did you give a try at attempting to add them as new objects instead of placing existing ones? Don't know how to do that, sorry. Not sure you can actually, you can replace an existing aircraft with another aircraft but not a create a slot for a new aircraft, same with ships as far as I know.
CHSubZero Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Finally finished and you can download the file here: http://www.dominicwirth.ch/_a_temp/LiaoningCVN77.rar Whats included: New ship CVN-77 Bush for USA (model by Tomcatz, F-18 Hornet skins enhanced by myself) New ship Liaoning for Russia (renamed Kuznetsov model by Tomcatz, deck and Su-33 skins renamed by myself) Ship entries for A-10C device AN-ALR69V Encyclopedia entries Screens in attachments. Best way to install this mod is with JSGME. Cheers :pilotfly: 1 Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files

NRG-Vampire Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 good job guys :thumbup: just some ideas more: you should add other carriers as new ships (into mods folder) not only using different skins on russian side kuznetsov ship and you should add more ships on russian and usa side and you should add new chinese ships on insurgents side (or you should add more countries: china)
zaelu Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I tried to replace Kuznezow model with Liaoning and works but for Vinson... no success. It would be nice if a base mod will be made that just replaces the old models for the new ones and then the Liaoning and CVN77 might be added with different skins. Another issue might be the lights... they are not visible at night unless you are very close... anything can be done about it? Also a "personal" problem of mine. I didn't flew from carriers from many time ago... and now I am surprised that I can't talk over the radio with Kuz or CVN70 towers... nor can I get "clear for take off. The CVN70/77 raise the back jet blast plate when I launch "from runway" but Kuz/Liaoning doesn't and if I restart engines or start from "parking spot" both towers promptly say to me that I am not cleared for take off. Any light in this thing? Thanks!

crazyeddie Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Kutz blast plates are a known issue, Tom never made them workable because they were made for a previous version where the damn things would not go down after they had been raised so they stayed up all the time, his solution, no rising blast plates. Don't know about the other radio or lighting problems, not encountered them yet. Like I said at the start this comes with all the known issues, warts and all.

Yes, that is a better skin, I will use that instead, thanks.
zaelu Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks crazyeddie for answer., My problem with radio has no link with this mod. You want to tell me that you can talk with the towers on carriers? How? :D P.S. Tom's CVN77 has some lights as opposed to the CVN70 that has none... but also Liaoning has them very dim and is so from default game, I was wondering if something can be done about it. Like bigger textures or some editing somewhere.

That might have something to do with it, if the host has poor lights and no radio (because its a submarine say) then perhaps the new model will suffer the same problem. It's not something I had envisaged with this kind of mod, but it seems possible that is your problem. I have not got that far with this yet.
