CVA-34 HD skin is progressing well - it should be finished much sooner than anticipated. Some of the details are best interpretations from many sources - chief among them is Intrepid - but one feature has me puzzled. What is the square outhouse and inclined length (1)? Is it supposed to be a crane or steps or what? Also, do the hanger hull doors (2) open horizontally or vertically? Thanks.

These are all working in HSFX

Hey karla, keeps getting better and better!! Men, those details are hard to find for sure... Those hanger doors open horizontally, looks like. Heres a HUGE panorama of the USS Yorktown today.... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bd/USS_Yorktown_%28CV-10%29_panorama.jpg

And looks like other hanger doors were kept in the original design, roll up doors split up into a couple of sections as shown here on the USS Hornet today... http://www.usshornet-cv12.com/Ship/Exterior/slides/Sponson%20Hanger.html

And heres a link with many Yorktown images covering a lot of details concerning your detail number 1... http://svsm.org/gallery/yorktown/IMG_4943

Thanks Boyan & Boosh but I am too committed now to make any changes to the textures and have decided to go with what has been created to date. Let's accept what is on offer this time; the next generation of IL2 carriers (fourth?) really need additional modelling as well as even more detailed texture mapping.

Will it be acceptable for me to start a new thread with an HD skin of USS Oriskany or should it be posted on some other site? (I've just read the change in policy on skinning which was posted last year  https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,23604.0.html).

Post it here! Lets see her! SCBs are here on SAS!

The crew is ready!!

Very nice work. Looks like U got rid of the gaggle of 20mm that were still left on it. Those things were gone by the mid 50s, so this is much more realistic. Very well done. I hope you can get it added to the next version of DBW and hsfx at some point.
