Stuart277,

Woah...talk about the unfriendly skies! :icon_lol: Fantastic work! :ernae:

Always nice to have more ships!

Stuart277: Nice work. We can always use more targets. How is the FLAK from these?

Very much needed Stuart. Nice job.

Hi All,

Thanks for the encouragement.

Shadow Wolf, the flak is the same as a US escort Carrier, as are the damage boxes and systems.

The only thing that I know about the DP files, is how to move the smoke effects and wake effects.

Cheers,

Stuart

Thanks Stuart!

Excellent job, Stuart!

Thanks Stuart! These new ships are most appreciated.

Thank you, Stuart!

Description: GMax model of HMS Starling.

In the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II, Starling was the flagship of Captain Frederic John Walker's 2nd Support Group, a flotilla of six sloops not tied down to convoy protection, but free to hunt down U-boats wherever found. Starling participated in the sinking of fourteen U-boats.

Cheers,

Stuart277

Awesome, simply awesome.

Now, where's Shessi's U441... (a hunting we will go, a hunting we will go ...) :ernae:

PS Sloops of this class also served in the Indian ocean & a couple made out into the Pacific with the BPF in '45.

Nice work Stuart. I tried her out in a test mission and she looks great. One hurdle I was unable to get over was the ship name in MB. I added HMS Starling to the discrip.dat but when I declare her nationality as British all I come up with is "no name".
In fact, none of the destroyer name designations ( DD-???) show up under the British nationality. If I change the nationality designation in MB to USA, German, or Japan....the name list with all the DD-??? numbers appears normal. Since there were 14 of these ships I had wanted to use the correct names in any missions. The [MISC DATA] in the DP appears normal, so I'm stumped. Got to be something simple.

A fantastic looking model.
Robert John.

Worthless, my guess is the object family number needs changing.

I suggested to Stuart that he use a dp based on the VN SRoberts DE as a quick & dirty way of getting her into CFS 2, but it really needs a "Blue Devil" style dp building for her.

If the object family is wrong, you'll get the no name issue in MB.

Hope this helps.

First thing I tried UT. I'm assuming you mean Unit Family. It's set for #5 ship or boat. Then I substituted the DP from
GC_Flower_Class_Corvette, deleted the CDP by the way. But I'm still not seeing the discrip.dat names.

Thanaks!

I should have said callsign, not discrip.dat.

Ok! Now I know what had me stumped. All of ship numbers for British destroyers only,in my callsign.dat file had an error (16 instead of 15) in the final digit combination, that designates the ship catagory. I did not find this error in the USA, Japan or German ship codes.


# British Destroyer
DD-101,1,5,16......change to 15 and all is well.

BTW.....I found this same error in the stock callsign.dat files in all my installs.

Stuart277; thank you for an ace ship. Just what we need for us Royal Navy types!

Graham.

Proudly added to my virtual fleet!
Many thanks!

We see fewer and fewer new CFS2 models so this is a treat. Thank you, and I hope we will be seeing more ships roll out of your shipyard in the future!
