To all,

One of the Beaufighter missions has you attacking a pre-war Italian passenger liner traveling between Trieste and Venice. Does anyone have a ship in mind that could possibly fit this description?

I've often thought that we could use a passenger liner for CFS 2. It could be painted to represent any number of troop ships used during WW II and Korea.

As I recall, I had one based on the Titanic for CFS 1, but that was a while ago. I wonder if one could be converted from an FS format.

If it could be retextured, the USS_Repose45 might work quite well. It's a hospital ship but has the right lines.

that is a good idea Cody, very similar profile. I will dig to see if any others show up anywhere.

Forgot to ZIP the name first... just delete the ".zip" when you d/l it...

Edit: The texture had to be removed.

I think Cody Coyote's got it right. The USS repose looks like the best option. Would someone be willing to make a repaint for me?

Sc7500,

I can't unzip that for some reason.

Well Collin I keep saying Rami is trying to take over SOH.

Collin,

This is in the beginning stages, my friend. For the record, of course I would garner your or anyone else's permission before I include modifications or inclusions.

Talon,

You love yanking my chain, don't ya?

Hey Rami,

Someone has to and it might as well be me. Maybe you'd rather hang from the yardarm or walk the plank with a chain and lead weight. Now that's really yanking your chain. :icon_lol:

Some time back Wolfi had a screenshot of a port with some of his library objects and it had a liner in it, it may be his or from somewhere else.

If you want a generic liner, I could build you one. In fact, I have a 'tweakable' troopship among my many unfinished projects.

Actually...I looked at the Hospital ship last night, and that appears to bit the bill nicely. However, I certainly don't want to discourage future work. Let's see what you got!

I believe that most ocean liners lack copter pads however :kilroy:..

Well, you COULD remove the Vertex annotations in the CFG file and turn that pad into a swimming pool or shuffleboard arena... ?

Have you tried it at night?:engel016:

Don't worry OW, there's a 1945 version posted that doesn't have a helipad, and 3 more textures waiting for release which will fit either model.:kilroy:

SC, thank you for the PM.:icon29:
