Who built the cruiser Belgrano?

[Wrench 9,849]

having just discovered this ... it being the USN WW2 Brooklyn class, I'd like to upload that version. (ww2 that is..if I can get the triple cursed decals working ..why is that so hard do?? just a simple text edit, and the lod viewer give me the x/y/z ??)

 

I'm pretty sure it was built by our Argentinian friends & members, but the Falklands mod readme makes no mention of WHO (whom?)

 

So, I'd like to know which one of you people built it, and if permission can be given for it's upload in it's "original" WW2 state (data ini edits remove the Seacats)

It's one of the major ships missing from our WW2 battle groups.

 

thanks in advance!

Well. General Belgrano seems to be proof that renaming a ship is bad luck...

I think Hinch did.

Wrench, do you want an updated data.ini for the Belgrano? I already have one mostly complete.

I don't who built it but I know who sunk it.

you guys a so funny ...

 

that always bothered me .. NY shipping co is in NEW JERSY???? maybe for tax purposes?

 

can't be Hinch, as mesh names in the data ini and OUT file are in Spanish (well, actually Portugese) leading me to believe it's our Southern Hemisphere friends, and, all the guns work

 

kJakker, yes please. Did you correct the armor values for the hull, turrets and superstructures?

if that is the "DAT boat" then it was origianly mine from my VN CFS2 PHP Collection that i sent to DAT a few years ago before i had max?

definitely not capuns , cause it couldn't be posted here in one of OUR mods

 

look at the mesh names. they aren't in English (love this lod viewer!!!)

 

-==

 

damn nice model, colmack!! Cool to see the SOC on the cat. Don't suppose it's SF2 ready???

and what other ww2 boats are hiding???

[colmack 662]

that's the one from the Malvina's pack Because i have it too. i think who ever helped in the mod may have got it from Capun and then did there magic to it I'm not sure who tho? i think remember getting an email for permission n witch i said do whatever you want I don't care :-)

 

WWII boats a few ain't ready yet need work on guns and such

[Wrench 9,849]

oh, my, those are nice! Right down to the chrome yellow wings on the SOC.

Is that a Sims class DD??

[Wrench 9,849]

well, since nobody has come forward, excepting Colmack (thank you for that!), and claimed authorship of this ship, I'm going to give this a few more days.

If noting materializes by middle of next week, I'm going to release it.

 

thanks to all! :)

Wrench, here is a beta of the updated Belgrano data files. I am having a strange issue with two of the 40mm mounts on the starboard side not shooting, other than that everything else is working.

 

If anyone else see's what is up with the 40mm's let me know I think I have been staring at it too long.

Wrench, I just dug up the original Falklands 82 read me file and found this.

 

"Pucara, MB 326, Super Etendard, ARA Belgrano By Foxmonter; Belgrano Skin by Richard and CAPUN"
