Allen M Summers class DD's

[DaveB]

Hi Fellas:wavey:

Using the same model for AI shipping can be a bit boring at times and while they're fine 'for effect'.. it's nice to have different side numbers. So it was with the lovely Allen M Summers class USS Laffey DD724 by Collin Glendinning converted for FSX by Lazarus and available in the Warbirds Library here.

To add a bit of variation, I've done a simple cut-n-shut using the numbers on the original paint to give as many of the class as possible. Added to Laffey are:
USS Barton DD722
USS De Haven DD727
USS Blue DD744
USS Samual N Moore DD747
USS Hugh W Hadley DD774 and
USS Zellars DD777

If anyone would like a copy, you can get them HERE (http://daveb.cbfsim.org/public/AMSummers.zip)

Just drop the textures into your USS_Laffey_DD724 folder and add the enclosed entries to your sim.cfg. Textures are extended 256 colour to match the originals. Feel free to convert them as you see fit;)

THIS (http://daveb.cbfsim.org/public/addon_adams_class.zip) adds:
USS Charles F Adams
USS Sellers
USS Cochrane
USS Stoddert
You need the payware SDB Enterprise and USS Robison for these to work.

Full credit to authors of all these. I did no more than use existing side numbers and in the case of Yukon.. changed the name on the stern and name plate astern the bridge.

Thanks Dave , Its a pity we cannot get the ocean/water way and movement in FSX , that would be one hell of a package specific to suit Aircraft Carriers and there fleet off escorts.
