Can you name the class?

and ignore the wakes as I haven't got around to sorting the effects out yet.

Nice!

The first one looks very danish.. Iver Huitfeldt?

Is the second ship Finish?

correct, the second one is the Finnish Hamina Class.

[bruce448]

Here's another one to guess, from the same country as the the other unknown

Thanks Pam.

Hmmm, makes me wonder where my friend got the models he sent me now since I have the same Hamina class missile boat and the Iver Huitfeldt class frigate as well as some other ship models (a Steregushchiy class corvette, and an Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate) as scenery objects and was thinking of making them AI and drivable also in my new scenery. Nice, saves me the time now though.

Is the RHIB part of the model or separate?

[MCDesigns]

Is the RHIB part of the model or separate?

Separate, I have it as a drivable one and made it an animated scenery object that can be placed around most ships depending on size. I wanted a little extra when coming in for a landing.

[trucker17]

The first almost looks Norwegian

[warchild]

Thanks Pam.

::LOL:: I like those lies.. :).. Looking good so far.. Been working myself but will post it in another thread.. BTW, Seeing the two missile boats, have you considered a modern Bundesmarine variant?? Schnellboots rock no matter which era they come from :)..

[Francois]

They all look awesome......... but I'm a WW2 buff. Have started scratching my head on how to build an LST. I've never done anything beyond a little LCM so far. Wish I could keep up with you guys and gals ! :icon_lol:

[JensOle]

The first almost looks Norwegian

Yeah, some similarities with the new Norwegian KNM Fridtjof Nansen class frigates, albeit the Norwegian ships has a much bigger Aegis radar mast and a lower superstructure.

[Montie]

Great looking ships!

[lazarus]

Looking good. Damn good. This is great! when I started into the ships project 2 years back , there were what, 7 carriers, 2 cruisers, a Fletcher or 2, some liberty ships, 2 New Jersey's, the Soviet ship pack and a U-boat...
Now look at the picture, and more ships coming every day! This is great. For my self, FSX would not have nearly the appeal with out the naval/ combined operations aspect.
Love the Finnish Corvette. Back in the U/L que (no screens, have to get those latter. part of the holdup is finding time to fire up the sim and collect the screencaps.) are a Skjold, Pansio, Pajomha, Nanuchka, OSA I and II, and a number of other "Baltic combatants'. The FSX Navy's are looking pretty good! Another chap at CBFS was working up a very nice looking Portsmouth with traffic files, spotted a few of my ships on the go in that, hope it gets released. Victorious must be getting close(Hi Skippy).
The naval future is looking very bright indeed.

[Bjoern]

Say what you want, but I think that stealthy design is the best thing to come upon warships in a long time. Smoother surfaces, way less deck clutter...dead sexy!

[SkippyBing]

Victorious must be getting close(Hi Skippy).
The naval future is looking very bright indeed.

She is, we're making a half a***d attempt to release her at/around the same time as the Bucc S2, this may or may not work!

Incidentally if you'd like more realistic AI traffic search for 'Henrik Nielsen' at Avsim or Simviation, he's done a load of new commercial shipping models along with various routes for them.

This is what she looks like so far... Lots to be done on the textures yet...Just need to sort out a few issues with my development PC so we can get the S2 and Vic out!

The same class as USS Stark County (LST-1134) transferred to Thailand, renamed HTMS Pangan (LST-13)

Greeting from Thailand, sir. :salute: :salute: :salute:

Great shots to me ... because i use FSX most for naval operations :applause:

[fliger747]

Ell-Ess-Tea.... AKA Large Slow Target, flat out maybe 12 knots. These hulls were also used as a base for a number of useful auxillery vessels such as repair ships to accompany the invasion fleets. Some still soldiered on during Vietnam! Surprisingly the time and materials to build these simple appearing ships were greater than the much larger Victory Ships. Much of WWII grand strategy revolved around what Chuchill called (something named LST?). Availability of landing craft was so critical many major fleet units were delayed or canceled.

Then there was CVE, Carrier, heavier than air, Escort. Also combustible, vulnerable, expendable. Not the most glamorous duty, but there when needed.

[Francois]

Indeed, I figured they deserve a place in FSX next to all the thoroughbred corvettes and cruisers :-)

[trowelmaster]

9252892529It wont be very much longer now that we should be able to implement these fine ships into N/E.I get excited every time I think about it. Looking " GREAT"...! :salute:

[jagl04]

It is great to see colleagues filling the seas with wonderful ships

Now, some ships I have in the shipyard. I´ll pay a glass of wine and a "tapa" to anyone who guesses all of them

9254792548925499255092551

[Francois]

I know the first one is the successor to the LST's :-)

[bruce448]

1. L42 Pizarro (ex LST 1196 Harlan County)
2. A33 Hesperides
3. Dedalo (the sea plane tender)
4. Dedalo (Spains first carrier)
5. SPS Meteoro P41

[jagl04]

Great, Bruce! You won

92552

[jagl04]

And Francois was also right

9255392554

[Francois]

I have made contact with the people running the LST 325 and they send me photos...... I am so happy !!!

92572

[Sindhu]

Good day, Jagl04 and gentlemen

This is a masterpiece from Spain, Many times I've been on her and spent 2-3 nights on her during the Royal Thai Navy's exercise and wishing to see her in FSX. Me and many more people in Thai FSX community would be glad and proud the most :jump:

92574

[lazarus]

Oh man. The ship sim guys are gonna be getting envious!

Almost there, Francois...
92608

And, golly, I wish Mr. Watkins would answer a email, though I may not have a current address. She's all ready, MDL X , animations and transparency's all fixed, helipad in,
I just need to do lightmaps for the missing ones.
92609

[Francois]

Your LST's look AWESOME !!!!!!! Can't wait ! (Will still continue my own.. low-poly models for the project)

Wish I could work faster and get all the planned models designed and textured !

[Montie]

Any news on the ships Bruce? I am really liking that Iver Huitfeldt class.

[Montie]

Were these ever released?

[jagl04]

You can find the Iver Huitfeld in the AI ship pack created by Henrik Neilsen, and also as a pilotable ship. Both versions can be downloaded at simviation

Best regards

[cortomalteseit]

Very interesting thread and fantastic stuff here! Thanks to all the authors of those magnificient vessels!!!
Is there any Italian ship, such as Horizon class, or Fremm, or Maestrale class? It would be great to follow them in the Mediterranean Sea! :jump:
