HMS Hermes R12 Released V2.5


Recommended Posts

Joey one thing I noticed about your mod is the "Hermes" sign on the side of the ship, If you are going for accuracy then RN ships are not labelled like this instead the name is usually towards the end of the hull painted in red.

 

Looking forward to the new release when will you be doing the 60's cats and traps version?

The sign will be gone in the new version..

 

The 60's.... The only airframe that could use her is the A-4 but I believe that can't use cats due to the SFM. So until I know an airframe can use her then I'll do the cat 'n' trap version.

 

The work involved would be-

 

Extend the angled deck more aft

Modify the island more

ad the mirror landing system

Weapon systems

And other bits.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

The A4 skyhawk works fine with cats and traps it just uses a workaround on the Skyhawk mod itself, so works absoloutley fine on the Stennis for launching and recovery with no modifications required. ( Literally just double checked and the Skyhawk works on the stennis)

 

Looking forward to the release

I am doing research on the 60's version...

 

Just that Hermes had so many refits and changes done to her it's difficult to do.

In her fixed wing time she had a 984 radar (Dustbin) on top of the bridge, when she was converted to a Cdo Carrier they replaced that with the 965Q Radar (Single Bedstead).

 

The 965 types were common to most UK warships of that time and continued in use right up until she was sold on to India.

 

Modelling a 965 radar would take forever I imagine, it was well named !!

As soon as I can find out how to add proper spawn points, or ED do the code, it's not AI friendly. But I think they can still land.

Got bored in Photoshop....

Will have to try and land on her in the A-4..

Traps work. Just don't expect to hear anything from it until after the 70s and 80s refit are released.

 

A 'H' tail code will need to be done for the A-4

No cats yet as I need to have a look through the code and the Stennis models connectors...

 

I'm halfway through unwrapping the island

Modified the Circles and numbers and added the distance markings*.

*Using the plans I made a box and measured every 50ft (15.24m) then rendered it out as an AO map to import into the template. Same with the circles and numbers.

**TEXTURES ARE NOT FINAL**

 

EDIT-

 

I'm also having a few probs with the livery system for ships.

I can get half of it to show up like the names

Island is now unwrapped, just need to do the AO map for it and redo the hull AO as well...

plus I still can't get the livery system to work

Now I can move on to the other stuff.. Like the decoy system and the sea cats and the radars and the life boats and the landing craft and everything else that needs to be done.....
