To BOYAN.
Now I'm not interest in it.
I'm saticefied in almost my model.
Only 1 point I want to add , deck textures resolution make twice hight.

When some one want to add more details on its island or hull 3D/2D by himself , I'm glad.

[BOYAN]

Ok, just wanted to put my thoughts out there...
Here are some pisc from Strike Fighters 2... Essex class doubling for Australian carrier.

[western0221]

In the future , when I have spare time , I will be able to remake island 3D.

I have some plans to increase texture resolution , etc.
At the same time , 3D remaking will be able.

Its priority is not high.

[BOYAN]

Cool mate, there is no rush. Essexes made history, from ww2, Korea, to Vietnam, its only fair to have them in the the best simulator out there in their best condition and detail... I doubt that there will be any Essex class ships officially made for any simulator more advanced than 1946 in the future, so its all in modders hands... Thanks!

Hi,
 I have installed USS Essex CV SCB-125 with angled deck pack (version2.02)
In my DBW 1.7 set up.
It all works well but only from Static Ships menu in FMB.
I can place a static carrier from the list and use the catapult launch so I assume all the elements are in there somewhere.
I have edited the ships .ini file as detailed in the install instructions witch I thought would add the carriers to the Ships menu in FMB but they do not appear.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
DGB

[sphantom]

did you also install the ship ext. mod too

[DGB]

Many thanks for your reply.
Please advise on the correct ships extension pack to install as I read not all are compatible with DBW1.71.
Also any tips on installing it would be helpful.

Regards
DGB.

I have started new textures for CVA 34 Oriskany 1970 - if you don't mind. It's an arbitary choice, but I thought it best to publicize it so we don't end up duplicating work.

I began with 4x increase in texture dimensions but it didn't seem to work with the HiRes MOD in DBW 1.7 (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,28127.0.html) so I have merely doubled the texture maps dimensions - giving 4x memory useage but enough resolution to show quite small details. I haven't checked the change in framerate yet.

The flight deck is well underway using Gimp with layers for: hues, linings, markings, tie downs, oil stains, tyre marks, weathering, hazard markings, miscellaneous markings and so on. I'll post a WIP image soon.

Oh, and thanks for the models.

CV-34 flightdeck is almost complete and here is an image to show progress. The aim is to give the feeling of scale and atmosphere even though not all details are exact. The superstructure and hull will be started soon and further images will be posted.

OMG, that looks awesome!!! Looking forward to your work on SCB-125!!

[SAS~Gerax]

Yes, that looks very promising!
Looking forward to it Karla!
