If there are no files to overwrite then there must be something wrong with your download or you are trying to put the new files in the wrong place. 

In my .zip file there should be 4 folders for each of the ship versions. In those folders should be a file called Porta1D0o.tga, which is the new deck paint, and another called Porta3D0.tga, which is the new crane and tractor colour (if you want to use it).  Just pop the .tga file into your folder and it should overwrite the original.

Not sure how I can help, your Colossus must be installed in the right place for it to work in the game, and you appear to be installing the new decks in the right place, but I cannot understand why there is nothing to overwrite, if there is no original Porta1D0o.tga then your ship will not show in the game.

Could you upload your HMS_colossus file? i downloaded the file again and it doesnt have the 2 files

My cockup with original USS Oriskany Ver2 file in the download, have pm'd you with simple file rename solution, should work okay now.

I'm surprised nobody noticed before now, with all these fast jets around I would have thought there was more interest in an angled deck carrier, obviously I was wrong.

Sorry for the hassle mate.

I've put a corrected version up, replaced the original download.  Anyone not wanting to download can fix the original by a simple file name change. In OriskanyVer 2 change the file named USSOriskany.tga file to Porta1D0o.tga

Must have had too much cider that night ...

I think most of us just swapped out the tga files.

The Fury and the Panther are the only fully working carrier jets atm. The problem is that the length of the angled deck is too short for more modern naval jets to stop plus the arrestor wires are too  "soft" to absorb the increase in both weight and landing speed.

I appreciate it's all a bit of a lashup for now, deck too damn short, wrong angles etc etc, but better than nowt, looking forward to a decent big angled deck. 

Hope it arrives before I pop me clogs !!

Not to mention the dead catapults that make this ship absolutely useless for jets.

Catapult works for me in 4.09 ( if you use the "standard slot" or original place where the catapult was located in the collosus )

Cat works for me. 4.10.1, SAS ModAct 3.6. Not aligned just right but it works.

Yes, but on UP3 and DBW they're dead no matter what you do. And those two are the packs most used.
