It was mentioned in first post that you should install Carrier take off 7.5.2. It helped for me.

[Kazegami]

Ok, thanks. Translated English is a bit hard to understand

Edit: I tried it, still same problem.

Kazegami:

What mod are you using to get the text on the lower left of the screen above the Speed Bar? Is this mod usable with DBW Build 1.71?

Without working instruments on the Phantom this would be critical information I could use.

Plowshare, yes, I'm using it with DBW 1.71.
Here it is: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=15931.msg212465#msg212465
The link on the first page is broken. Use Uzin's link.
Also, you cannot use the first two ctrl+f1 views with this mod, the game will freeze until you press it again. Hope this makes sense

Kazegami:

Thanks for the link. DL'd, installed and it works.

Now to let this topic get back on topic...

In detail, around 1960's some Essexes were replaced 40mm Boforse to 3inch AAA, and that 3inch AAA were removed around 1970.

But my WIP topic, no one requested that modelizing, I don't modelize that.
I have less data about that AAA replacing when / which ship done.

About SAMs the same. No one requested.

Great mod guys, thanks 

But are the deck textures meant to be so low res?

But are the deck textures meant to be so low res?

That discussion was many times done in WIP topic.
IL-2 1946 graphic engine can draw 1024x1024 or 2048x512 textures biggest.
Now I use 2048x512 texture for whole deck.
It is the limit.

When I separate the deck face into 4x and using 1x 2048x512 texture for new 1 face,
I can make more high resolution,
but that is very hard work to draw textures for us and MOD folder size will be 4x (Pack total 2.5GB).
Is it useful or realistical?

Hello mr. Western, great job on the textures... I was wondering if you or somebody else
would be willing to create a set of post war and Korean war era Essex class ships with high res textures?

Valley Forge and Boxer are low texture, right? Also, Its hard to find good color images of those ships, deck color
especially. Aren`t they a little too brown in current state?

Sorry Western, I'm pretty new to Il-2 and modding, I can barely do Nosearts / skins I didn't know about that technical stuff. I don't think better textures would be worth the work. And I wouldn't want to have to download 2.5 GB neither, your mod is great the way it is

Hello Western. I have a litte problem. The version1.01 don't work for me. Could you give me the version 1.00 please ?
Thank you very much !

Hello Western. I have a litte problem. The version1.01 don't work for me. Could you give me the version 1.00 please ?
Thank you very much !

1.00 has a problem at Ship Extentions MOD 2.11 .

Oh...
Now I find another problem on 1.01 .
I will release 1.02 .

But I think that "don't work" is strange.
When you can't or don't like to install Ship Extentions MOD 2.11 , then you can use add.UP3RC4.ships.ini in 7zip.
