My LSO hates me. :banghead:
I must be missing something in the instructions. I noticed the VS_LSO gauge folder is in the ship's panel folder. Does that have to be copied to the FSX gauges folder?

Update: My LSO finally showed up for work. Must have run out of coffee and sweet rolls in the dirty-shirt wardroom. :icon_lol: Copying the VS_LSO folder to the FSX gauges folder did the trick.

I think I like this guy better than the CFS2 LSO.Let me know how it works with different aircraft. :kilroy:

I'm not much into WWII sim flying, but I'm thinking of getting this - but purely for 50s era flying - as a bit of a fictional companion to Michael's USS Leyte - only more detailed, etc as a payware model should be.

So my question is how is it painted? the video seems to show a generic, non-camouflaged paint that would work passably for Korea:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3McqVG88aRY

yet the screenshots show the traditional wartime (WWII) MS-11 type camouflage, which of course, wouldn't work for Korean ops.

http://www.vertigostudios.co.uk/cv6 scroll down to screenshots ....

Anyone have this and can comment on how it looks in the sim?

thanks!

Here is a screen shot of the Vertigo CV-6 from my install. It comes with only one paint job. There are many reference photos online of Essex-class CV's in action during Korea, so repainting the ship to get rid of the camo paint would be tedious but not difficult if you wanted to deploy her to Korea. :adoration:

I did a couple of re skins Big E non camo, Yorktown and Hornet. Wanted to redo them as they came out looking too dark. If I could ever get some free time I could take another shot at it.

Thanks Tarps - that confirms what I figured. I suppose they shot the promo video before the paint was finalized? Seems reasonable ...

Grady - as I recall, you did the spruced up wood textures (no pun intended) for the Michael's CV, did you not? They really look good - and to date, make that boat is my 50s US CV of choice.

Would love to see what you could do with the CV-6 - if you get time ... Good as Michael's Essex class is, this boat, coupled with your paint, would be a sweet Korea era ticket, for sure. Nothing wrong with the one in your first shot, btw ...

thanks for the replies!

I do have the mearsure used to compare against all periods, generally many photo's i'd have to dig out, take tomorrow to go thru.

Overall color is too dark on your recent efforts, OK for WWII maybe but not post-war. The Navy was already using Haze Gray for overall ship color during the Korean period. I've found that a RGB value of 194/198/197 looks good to me, although that's a bit lighter than some paint chips I've seen. Doing internet searches with ship names and hull #'s such as "uss valley forge cv-45 photos" will bring up some Korea-vintage color pics so you can get a ballpark idea of what colors you want to use. Most of the flight deck striping and #'s I've seen have been yellow.

I think you've nailed it Grady. Looks perfect to me!

thanks again - never even hoped a new paint would emerge - just hoped there was one in the original pack.

Will buy buy this for sure now.

Thanks !

Flight deck is right on the money, I don't think you could nail it any better. Overall gray color looks way too blue to me. In some photos the Haze Gray does have a blue shade because it reflects the color of the sky. Same way those post-war jets in Gloss Sea Blue (which is so dark it's almost black) look more blue on the flight deck than they do on the hangar deck. This is my Haze Gray color (see attachment), at least it looks about right to me. This is the RGB color value I posted last night.

Gave her a new coat of paint actually two unfortunately the haze grey was to a couple of shades to light in sim looked almost white and made almost all the hull and island details vanish so I darkened it just a bit. Took all the blue tint out.

Anyone know where to buy this lovely boat? Grady - this is your fault ....:running: (your last iteration was to my eye, perfect, btw ...)
