**Shadow Wolf 07** · March 15th, 2015, 15:16

Great! I need an Atlanta and Baltimore for my redone Saratoga campaign.

**Shadow Wolf 07** · April 5th, 2015, 12:05

Maxstuka: When do you think the Atlanta and Baltimore will be released? Which other ones besides Utah and Omaha are you planning to remake? In other words will there be a Part 3 or more to follow?

Hi Shadow wolf
The AF/VN team has a couple of very nice Altanta Class Cruisers, but they may be hidden in someones campaigns.
I can email them if you need them.
Cheers
Stuart

J'ai profité de s améliorations que vous avez apporté es à ces modèle pour leur donner un camouflage en rapport avec l'époque . 9a marche pour les Wichita Brooklin et Cléveland mais impossible pour Augusta et Tuscalosa , dommage car ile sont particulièrement intéressants

**Maxstuka** · April 18th, 2015, 23:05

How is the true lenght of the HMS Exeter (york class)?

Any can help me ,searching. There are website with 165-164mts and another with 175mts!!!.

http://www.militaryfactory.com/ships...=HMS-Exeter-68
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York-class_cruiser

I need the overall of the large.

**Milton Shupe** · May 2nd, 2015, 18:40

Both sites agree to 575' (175 M) long overall and Wiki also states 540' (160m) between perpendiculars.

Hi I am working to Nelson LOD, I am repaint with different Woods, and trying sings.It is for my proyects packs of ships.
I add anchor moorings see black arrow

My question for you!.
look the red circle, He is a lifeboat there are other more, the color is ugly, what color I can paint for better look?.

**Maxstuka** · May 5th, 2015, 16:27

and if I delete them?. opinions please

**Maxstuka** · May 5th, 2015, 16:30

ok 175m!.

So the exelent Vn model need resize!.It is some like 160mts so smaller Jajajajaja jajajajaja

Please appears allen !!.

**Fibber** · May 6th, 2015, 11:29

...based on some line drawings that I have seen here; http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum...=6855&start=60 (page4, halfway down the page) I would think it would be safe to delete them. The only lifeboats seem to be the ships gigs stowed on what appears to be a 02 level with cork liferafts on bulkhead stowage.

**Maxstuka** · May 6th, 2015, 12:49

thanks!. I think the same but I can not delete this lifeboat , y try using alpha texture + repaint mdl colors, but it did not work, the lifeboat of the big turret are strange, this 4 boat become glassy trasparent. I try using the mdlc but it can not work with the mdl."message of error not found".

anyone can see what happens painting the small yellow part of the texture in green and creating the alpha chanel.

small boats turrets were removed properly, but I do not know what else to do to disappear the 4 lifeboats of the big turret.

**Maxstuka** · May 6th, 2015, 12:59

The fluorescens Green are the objets that i can delete, but I do not know a form or metod to delete this trasparent boats, its look like the color of the wáter, and if you put the ship in earth look like earth.

**Blood_Hawk23** · May 6th, 2015, 13:08

Max,

If you run it through model convert X, You can import it in to Gmax. From there you can edit the model. You can even resize it. You have some great Ideas. Time to learn how to do them. Its easier then it sounds.

'til Later,
John

Thanks but.I am not a simmer!!.I do not have Gmax, and I do not know nothing about it!.This is why, when I can not work, another nice guy help with your knows.

And if you convert in Gmax, the LOD was lost, so It is re make a LOD.This is a work for simmer .

I can delete all the others objets in this ship, but with a construction of the model, I can not go more than its.

**Blood_Hawk23** · May 6th, 2015, 14:52

This is for the VN Nelson correct?

I'll take a look.

**Maxstuka** · May 6th, 2015, 14:59

This is the last that I can do.The laterals boat can be remove. I do not know if exist a posibility to delete the "mold" of the ship, that is "semy-invisible"like a (cristal glassy) using hexaeditor, but I has not idea about what line can be delete to try something.

if you can help I prefert to send you some Vn models that are small in size, About this Nelson I can repaint this lifeboats like dark grey and It look nice, not to call attention with this color.

**Fibber** · May 6th, 2015, 17:23

... did a little more digging and over at wilkipedia they have this 1931 rendition drawing that DOES show some lifeboats on davits. Here is that link;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson...le_drawing.png

1927 pic: http://www.militaryfactory.com/ships...=HMS-Nelson-28

You can zoom in on the pic. for better detail. Neither one shows "boats" on the turret. Maybe the ones already there are supposed to portray cork lifefloats? They were usually dark grey or black.

Here is a site with a bunch of views from different pre-war years and none show anything on the turrets.
http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/hms_nelson.htm

So I guess pick a year and have at it.

**Maxstuka** · May 6th, 2015, 19:25

this is a Nelson that I will add in to my new pack of ships. It was with his friend the Prince of walles.

the improve of Fps with dx1 texture are amazing, I am playing a battle with 40 japans aircraft and 5 HMS big ships. And performance is exelent in my computer.
