Searching for SHA_Oriskany

**leuen** · March 15th, 2016, 13:49

I had the folder called SHA_Oriskany, but lost it with a crash. Unfortunately I couldn't find it anymore. There where some other CFS2 ships of this series. Does anyone knows where I could find them? Thanks for your help.

I do not know about SHA_Oriskany, sorry. never see it.

**Fibber** · March 15th, 2016, 16:20

.was a carrier that was done by LW. I believe that it may still be available at Simviation.

I know it was made by the Virtual Navy group for CFS2 , no luck on my search yet though.

leuen,
I have the original zip file for the Virtual Navy Oriskany, I am pretty sure it's the only CFS2 version that was made. I'll be happy to send it to you if you PM me your email address. "SHA_" is the default prefix for American ships in the CFS2 mdlnames.txt file but you can use model name "VN_ORISKANY" and it shows up in any mission.

Thanks for your replies.

@TARPSBird: I will send you a PM.

That's the Oriskany I had before. It's quite more textured. This has been used as static AI with FS9.

...say the magic words and these too can be yours!

**No Dice** · March 16th, 2016, 14:06

I will be happy to take a look at the VN and or LW versions.

Much appreciated,

...any luck with those gauges I sent? Will send the ships to your addy. They are now on the ethernet highway..

**No Dice** · March 16th, 2016, 18:24

No Sir,

But you did send some extras that I did not have,
they may come in useful in the near future.

Thank you, your effort was above and beyond.

Have a great Saint Pats day,

Dave

**Blood_Hawk23** · March 17th, 2016, 15:32

I have LWs version. there are no textures. If you'd like it PM me. Saddly It can not be up loaded here.

And begin with her sister ship, VN_Bonnie (U.S.S. Bon Homme Richard CV-31), same class and same modernizations.

USS Oriskany (CVA-34) and Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) off Vietnam 1970

**Fibber** · March 19th, 2016, 15:22

..without appearing to be too stupid, or sarcastic, where is the VN_Bonnie to be found. I can't seem to locate it anywhere and I thought that I had most of the VN fleet.

**No Dice** · March 19th, 2016, 17:04

Coming soon my friend,

By the way, A big THANK YOU for all of your help and input.

Along with Bearcat and everyone else, much appreciated !!

Stay safe Sir

Dave

**bearcat241** · March 19th, 2016, 18:46

You're welcome Bro. I like this project. I grew up seriously on the images, newscasts and the hardware of the Vietnam war. In a fortunate turn for a lot of us, it ended the year before my HS graduation.

BTW, when are we gonna get into the Razbam Sandy's? We dabbled a bit with the A-1E, but what about the rest of the line?

Here's the 'Bonnie' for you Fibber...

**Fibber** · March 19th, 2016, 19:50

...got it!

Thank you. ND.. NP any thing I have you can have. Just remember what I said in that missive I sent you. Tried to open a spoke about old file and lost my whole flash drive of everything doing with the era. Looks like almost 5 years down the byte hole.

**No Dice** · March 20th, 2016, 13:11

bearcat,

I finally have worked out most of the problems with the Panels on the Razbam Sandy's?

I hope to have them released within the next few days, then you can tear up that VC.

I fly 2D so I have to add one or two changes to the 2D and then should be ready to go.

Dave

PS to Fibber,
The FFS goes way back with LW and I have perms for most, he had a problem with SOH and left
and then fell off the face of the planet. I have no problem posting it...If he does, he will let me know.

Be safe my friend.

**bearcat241** · March 20th, 2016, 18:36

Well Dave, i didn't know you were into the whole line or i would have saved you the work long ago. As i mentioned already, this project - panels and all - was completed years ago when the Raz CFS2 Sandy line first debuted as payware. Back then, we worked out the bugs and all, which is where my collection now stands. But since the package was released as freeware, i can't attest to the trouble free nature of anything. Things like the panels may have been altered for FS8 and FS9 performance in addition to CFS2 compatibility.

I'm happy to assist you with anything related to the line from my collection.

**bearcat241** · March 21st, 2016, 05:08

Dave, i forgot to ask, have you been in touch with Razbam owner Ron ( aka Prowler1111) about any mods and uploading to your site? I guess i just assumed that you had after the A-1E upload.
