JAPmaru3 for CFS2 by UncleTgt
A collection of ships & infrastructure ships & wrecks for use in missions. This model is based off Stuart277's Lyons Maru class merchant ship. I added some extra detailing (rigging, anchors, open hatches on the moored vessel), & demirrored the textures for the model.
Reading about the Japanese Army's Transports, & how they up-gunned some of them to supplement the AA defence of the early-war invasion convoys, I further modified Stuart's basic model to add extra flak positions, plus a deck cargo of Daihatsu landing barges.
Models included:
IJN_JapMaru3_UT - the base ship model
plus an infrastructure ship model
IJN_JapMaru3_moored_UT - a static harbour vessel, with some hatches open & derricks in use. Manned, will defend itself if attacked.
They are all multi-LOD. All models have their own damage models. I've also supplied different textures so you can vary how the individual models appear. You can choose grey or latewar green-grey.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to
Allen for his Making Exploding Objects using FS2002 Tools & Tutorial
Stuart277 for sharing his GMax models, they made the sequences in setting up to create a ship model in GMax much easier to follow after seeing how Stuart arranges things.
Colin Glenndinning, Usio, Psullkeys & the other ship model pioneers for showing what's possible in this old Sim.
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX, such a clever & versatile tool.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
