Ship DPs.
Hey Stuart,
I hope to have my comp fixed real soon. then I can get back to work on CFS2. If you build anymore ships I'd be willing to work on the DPs and CFG files.

I have checked the stock USS Enterprise and it is close real world size at the flight deck. The info I found says the flight deck is 802 feet long and 109.5 feet wide. When I port the stock MS model back into gMax the size is 798 feet long and 113.5 feet wide.
The prob with CFS2 is that none of the stock player aircraft but for the P-38 give more lift when you lower the flaps. If the aircraft had the right amout of lift with flaps down the AI would crash when trying to land.

They could have used you back in the day considering how fast you're laying down these hulls!
Great work - please, please keep it up.

Great stuff Stuart! For those with a desire to read about a "VW" in WW2, pick up "A Hard Fought Ship" about the HMS Venomous.

Awesome work Stuart...
Thanks
Hi all,
I would like to thank you for your nice comments.
It is quite fun doing the ships.
It is not very difficult, once you get the hang of GMax.
For comments regarding 'output', I have made 'templates' of a few weapons and a couple of hulls. So, effectively the hulls of the Cruisers are just enlarged versons of the destroyer hulls and this really speeds up the process, cut and paste, so to speak.
My texturing is only OK, not Colin or Uncltgt quality, but is passable.
Most of the 'variety' of ships within each class only differ in armament, so too avoid the 100 ship problem, pick one you like.
Same with the modelling, it ain't Usio, but they are only targets (except for the carriers).
No DP file skills yet, but I might (only might) get into those.
I do intend to have a go at a lot of ships over the next year or so, there are a lot of Italian, French and Dutch ships 'missing' as well as few IJN and US ships.
Cheers,
Stuart

new Royal Navy ships
Merci pour vos magnifiques navires de la Royal Navy . Je me suis amusé à leur donner des camouflages en rapport avec les différents théatres d'opération . J'en ai profité pour peindre des navires d'autres modelleurs . Comme exemple j'ai choisi les navires anglais de l'opération Ironclad : le cuirassé Ramillies le croiseurs lourd Devonshire , le croiseur AA Hermione et les destroyers J K et V . Les porte avions exitant déja .

Evidemment le HMS EAgle n'a pas sa place ici mais j'aime bien son camouflage . Dommage que notre ami japonais ne nous a pas permis de peindre ses merveilles .
A ce propos pourquoi ne peut-on pas pas non plus peindre vos destroyers interwar ? Je suis impatient de savoir la solution car ce ne sont pas les modèles qui manquent . Et il manque toujours les croiseurs type Aurora Arethusa !
Bonsoir et à bientot . excusez moi de ne pas écrire en Anglais mais j'en suis bien incapable .

CFS2 RN Arethusa Class Cruisers WWII.zip
A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Ships Add-Ons
Description: GMax models for CFS2 of the The Arethusa class was a class of four light cruisers built for the Royal Navy between 1933 and 1937 and that served in World War II.
The Arethusas were a smaller version of the Amphion (HMAS Perth) class. The design was judged to be the minimum required for a "trade route cruiser" to counter the threat of the auxiliary cruiser over which, even with their reduced armament, they would enjoy a comfortable superiority.
DP is form the VN Ajax, so it probably needs upgrading.
There are two sets:
1940 with a catapult ready to go, but not set up for catapult launch (cfg files are not my go)
1942 with quad 2 pounders replacing the catapults, as well as extra AA.
Cheers,
Stuart

Thanks Stu , splendid work ,
A BIG thank you to Stu!
These cruisers, his destroyers and some others of his Royal Navy ships will be in the BPF missions and campaigns.
I am completely reworking the Meridian missions based on more complete and accurate information provided to me by John B.
I have also replaced the AH_Seafire with GB_Seafire_Mk15_Late from A.F. Scrub found here in the library. Its performance is much more accurate to the actual Seafire. AH's was a bit under powered, under performing.
I don't know yet when I will have all of the new missions built, but am working hard on them this week. My next Masters degree classes start the 11th and I will not have a lot of free time then until Christmas break.
Once again, THANK YOU Stuart!
Stu, one request: Can you see your way clear to make some BPF carriers with longer-wider decks than available right now. I am really having to modify power settings in the air files on Corsairs and Hellcats to get them airborne off the current selection of carriers in CFS2. Right now I am using the USS Enterprise CV-6 and renaming it as HMS Victorious. It is the only carrier that I can get airborne off of.

Thanks for your great work Stu.
I also enjoyed much with your IJN Escort Carriers.
I would like to request you to consider to built Japanese BB "Nagato" & Japanese DD "Shimakaze" in the future when you have a time.
If ever you are interested, I'm willing to assist you to gather info about these ships.
Thanks a lot again. More power!
