Forrestal class aircraft carrier

Recommended Posts

Forrestal class aircraft carrier


FORRESTAL class US NAVY aircraft carrier
========================================

The model depicts a ship circa 1990.

Of course, each aircraft carrier looks a little different,
but this is more or less what the USS Saratoga (CVA-60) and USS Independence (CVA-62)
looked like during Operation Desert Storm.

Model was tested in ODS30 addon and SF2 NA.

INSTALLATION
========================================

Just copy files from [C O P Y   T O   G A M E   F O L D E R]
to your game folder ;-)
In [Extras] folder you can find new ship smoke emitter.

========================================

The 3d model, game files and skins are mine.
Parking spots done by allenjb42.
Many thanks to the ODS30 team for their help in testing this ship.

you will need to have SF2 Vietnam or SF2 North Atlantic as well in order to have carrier capability. it will not show if you only have SF2 Europe

Is there a way to make the SF2 europe expansion work in SF2 vietnam?

I know Wrench will tell you to use normal font. But the game works with each other game by merging content. So if you have SF2 Vietnam and SF2 Europe you only need to use one exe instead of two, and so on. Just open the game and you'll be able to use the content from the other game no problem.

Yes, PLEASE use normal fonts!

Also, given the fact that the GErmanyCE map does NOT have the required bits for CV operations (out of the box), it won't work. Also, given the almost total lack of 'sea room' on that map, making the required adjustments to the _water.bmp, GermanyCE.ini, etc isn't worth it. If one DOES tweek it for carrier ops, and now has NAVALMAP=TRUE, you can kiss goodbye any normal strike mission.

That's why I disable it, assaulting an enemy battle group never seems to work out for me anyway.

Sé que Wrench te dirá que uses la fuente normal, pero el juego funciona con los demás juegos fusionando el contenido. Por lo tanto, si tienes SF2 Vietnam y SF2 Europe, solo necesitas usar un archivo exe en lugar de dos, y así sucesivamente. Simplemente abre el juego y podrás usar el contenido del otro juego sin problemas.

i dint understand

Don't use the font that you did, Wrench gets mad if you do.

      View File Varyag Aircraft Carrier

      What if:   Aircraft Carrier "Varyag" ex Kremlin Class
      *****************************************************
      This mod is made for SF2.

      I. History
      Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class.
      The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or westeuropean carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of projece 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K as air group of the Baku.
      The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov.
      When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet.
      The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varyag (Varangian). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaonang.
      In this mod the fiction is, that the Ukraine finished the carrier and used it under the name "Varyag" (Varangian) as flagship of their Navy. The difference between Varyag and Kuznetov mod is that the ukrainian ship has no ship to ship missiles.
      Remark to the name : Google translator gave me the translation "Варязький". Wikipedia say "Варяг" is correct. I'm not sure about it. Thatswhy i include both version. As standard i use "Варяг". Name files for "Варязький" you find in a subfolder under decals/Varyag/Varyaskij. If you want to use this name version, copy the files from Varyaskij folder to Varyag folder and let overwrite the existing one.
      I'm not sure wheter "Варязький" is written correctly. Perhaps it must be "Варязькиi". If someone know, send me a PM.
