View File Asagiri class destroyer This model represents the Asagiri class destroyers (DD-151~DD-158), in service with the JMSDF from 1989 to present. An enlarged and upgraded version of the earlier Hatsuyuki class, they are among Japan's most numerous and modern general-purpose escorts. The Asagiri class features well-rounded armament including a 76mm gun, two Phalanx CIWS, an 8-cell Sea Sparrow launcher, two 4-canister SSM launchers, ASROC launcher, and ASW torpedoes. Sensor systems include the world's first naval AESA radar, OPS-24, designed and built in Japan. A full names list and authentic decals are included. The model features a helicopter deck and a few other surprises. This ship is best used in conjunction with my Kongo class, Murasame class, and other upcoming JMSDF capital ships. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

That would be cool, but I don't think we have a terrain with that base yet. Uploading tonight: I figured out how to do self-illumination, so this ship has a working spotlight and a small signal in back to help land helicopters.

Tranquil flightline

I think I'll leave the Newport for someone else to do. Sorry, I know it would be a good addition, but... it's just such an ugly ship! What with that big ramp thing on the bow and all. I don't think I could take the project seriously. To generate a task force in a random single mission, the country needs at least one capital ship: an aircraft carrier, battleship, amphibious assault ship, or cruiser. The JMSDF doesn't have any battleships or cruisers, but I fully intend to provide an LST and DDH, plus as many escorts as I have time for. Still need to do the decklines, decals, and bump-mapping on one of those escorts, anyway.

Thanks for the upload, colmack. I hope you continue to work on it and give us updates like I often do with my ships. Just a quick fix if you're using my weapons pack: Make sure the Tartar launchers point to RIM-24B, as that was the model available when the class was commissioned. I think the data.ini just has "RIM-24" at the moment. Detailing on Asagiri is done, skinning in progress. (I started with weapons because my priorities are skewed :P)

Testing out the Asagiri. She's now ready for a paint job. Weapons are fully functional already. One 76mm gun, Sea Sparrows, anti-ship missiles (RGM-84C or SSM-1B), Phalanx, ASROC and torpedoes (non-functional). The Asagiri class is one of Japan's most numerous and modern destroyer designs. Commissioned in the late 80s/early 90s, they are about the size of an Oliver Hazard Perry, and similar in role and capabilities. I think this ship will actually be done before the Sovremenny, because A) I have more and better reference photos, and B) I took a lazy route when doing the Sovy mesh so unwrapping it is an absolute nightmare. They'll be finished by summer in any case.

Dels and ace888's recent release has inspired me to get off my lazy butt and back to work. Currently testing for shadow issues before I start final detailing and skinning: And we need more Japanese ships, so I'm putting this together as a side project:

View File USN SAM pack This is a complete package of SAMs used by the United States Navy from the early cold war era to present. Currently 33 different missiles are included. I have meticulously researched, modified, tested and compiled these weapons so that I and other ship modders have a selection of realistic standardized missiles (one might say "Standard Missiles":D) to work with. The medium and long range missiles have been assigned updated efects from SF2NA, as well as new sound effects (included in the package), which sound much more appropriate than the default sound. I'm particularly proud of the VLS launch effect, which I made by ripping and editing official footage; I think it adds to the immersion tremendously. Note that two stock weapons, the RIM-2F and RIM-66B, are replaced by this package. I usually try to avoid this, but the RIM-2F model did not sit on launchers correctly, and both weapons had some wildly incorrect data. Optional data files for a few stock and third-party USN ships are included which adds new weapons as appropriate and adjusts radar strength to more realistic levels. Please see the readme for instructions, credits, and other details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

To celebrate the arrival of our new F-2A, I've updated some of the weapons in this package. The AAM-4 (which was the very first 3D model I ever made) has been completely overhauled with more polygons and a more authentic texture. All of the ASM-1 and ASM-2 series missiles have been retouched and reskinned as well, and overall they look much better hanging under the wings of Dels's masterpiece.

I finally got my hands on the official JMSDF fonts, so I've updated the decals on this ship. Instead of re-downloading the whole thing again, you can just grab the archive below. DDG-173 decals.rar

Since other missiles like the Harpoon don't have this issue, I'm thinking there may be something within the old Exocet model itself that's causing the issue. That makes no logical sense, I know, but it wouldn't be the first time for this series... I'll see what I can come up with.

I've had a similar problem with infra-red SAMs like the RAM on the LCS. It typically refused to shoot unless ShowMissile=TRUE, despite (or perhaps because of) it being completely concealed by the launcher. Cruise missiles have all worked fine for me so far, though... What sort of launcher setup do you have on the ship? If possible, post up the vessel and missile you're using and I'll see if I can replicate the issue on my end.

Absolutely beautiful! The detail that ace888 put into the skins is amazing. I'm looking forward to this model more than anything.

Real life has really gotten in the way for me, so I haven't touched Strike Fighters in quite a while. Sorry for the endless delays. The Sovy is being a huge pain to unwrap and skin, so I'm going to have to redo some parts of the model to make things more bearable.Hopefully colmack will have some nice Cold War cruisers for us while I get my butt back in gear. You know, I actually considered a Godzilla mod-- The problem is, there's no way to do complex animations (i.e. walking, moving arms, opening mouth to roar, etc.), so even a guy in a rubber costume would look far more lifelike!

View File AV-8B Harrier II Plus 2010 modernization This model represents the current modernized version of the USMC's AV-8B Harrier II Plus aircraft. These aircraft are represented in their current livery, with all 7 squadrons in 13 different paint jobs (including CAG birds) with accurate decals and serial numbers. New engine sounds and custom hangar screens for each squadron are also included.

Very sorry to keep you waiting. I'm uploading tonight-- It's a complete package with 13 skins and some other modifications. Nengajyou did an outstanding job with this, so I'm sure you'll all enjoy it.

Two words: BOOM It apparently landed in a zinc plant, by the way.

Sovremenny under construction ETA: some time next month, hopefully. Now that there are updated Korean War carriers available, I feel somewhat disinclined to continue work on the CV-14. I promised Wrench a straight-deck Essex, though, so I'll try my best to make it something more than just a repeat of an existing model. Vikramaditaya would be interesting... Now way I'd want to scratch-build one though. If someone had a Kiev model (that they were working on before SF2:NA came out, for example), maybe they'd be able to rebuild the deck like the Indian Navy did with the real thing.

I'll be doing a pack of European ground vehicles at some point, and I plan to include Challengers, Leopard 2s, Leclerc, T-90, and a few other tanks and fighting vehicles. I have to finish some ships first, though, so it'll be a while.

View File North Korea People's Air Force MiG-29 This is a Korean People's Air Force skin for the Mirage Factory MiG-29, complete with authentic serial markings and propaganda slogans seen on actual NK aircraft. This skin may be used for B and C model Fulcrums as you prefer. The MiG-29 Fulcrum is North Korea's most modern and potent fighter, primarily tasked with defending Pyongyang. The DPRK has approximately 35 MiG-29B and 5 MiG-29UB in their inventory, plus an unknown number of MiG-29C models first photographed in 2003.
