HS ORMI - TOLMI Patrol Gunboats View File The gunboats HS ORMI (P-230) and HS TOLMI (P-229) are the two "ASHEVILLE" class gunboats (ex USS BEACON/PG-99 and GREEN Bay/PG 101) of the Hellenic Navy. They were originally constructed for the crisis of Cuba. The gunboats were transferred to the Hellenic Navy from the US Navy. The design and construction was oriented to achieve high speed and for that reason the ships are made of aluminum, the superstructure is made of polyester and aluminum frame, achieving a total displacement of approximately 230 TN, while the turbine GENERAL ELECTRIC LM-1500 initially brought, was developing speed of 40 kts. In 1996 the main gas turbine was replaced by two new type main diesel engines MTU 12V 396 TE 94. In 2003 the main 3'' gun 3/50 was replaced by BOFFORS 40mm. SHIP CHARACTERISTICS Maximum length: 50,13 m Maximum width: 7,3 m Maximum draught: 2,5 m Weight: 265 metric tons Maximum speed: 21,5 knots Maximum energy rate with maximum speed : 1287 nm Habitats: 34 persons Main engines: Two MTU Diesel 12V396 TE 94 2X2216 HP Generators: Two IVECO-8210M 22 6V MARELLI- M7B M250, with output 2X100 Kwatt RHIB: One Barracuda 4,2 m, with 25 ΗΡ LEGAL INFORMATION This is a freeware package. The original (and truly amazing) Asheville Class 3D model was downloaded from SKETCHFAB (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/asheville-class-motor-gunboat-pg-84-class-2e0f66a372bf4db081929c47603bdf33). "Asheville Class Motor Gunboat (PG-84 Class)" (https://skfb.ly/6xzFr) by Angel_Arrow is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). This model cannot be sold as payware in any form. You can use it for your own entertainment in Vehicle Simulator or Virtual Sailor NG. I had to make some necessary modifications in order for the boats to resemble the ORMI - TOLMI class ships. I also added a bridge panel with vintage analog instruments along with some digital ones. All the instruments can be re-used providing that you give me some credit. INSTALLATION Just copy the contents of this package into your VSF (or VS) /vehicles installation folder (overwrite the existing folders if any). Inside the HS_ORMI folder you will find a HS_TOLMI subfolder with the necessary files for the sister ship. USAGE HS ORMI has elements for VSF while TOLMI has elements for Virtual Sailor NG. They can sail in both simulators but with different speeds. The ships bear an animated Hellenic Navy flag and carry two rotating radars. The bow and aft flagpoles are animated and they can be lowered or raised with Ctrl-A. The bridge doors open and close with Ctrl-D. All weapons are fully functional with real life data. Enjoy!

B-25H Mitchell View File The North American B-25 Mitchell is a medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. The B-25 first gained fame as the bomber used in the 18 April 1942 Doolittle Raid, in which 16 B-25Bs led by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle attacked mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This plane has elements which contain realistic data and characteristics. All guns(+1 Cannon) are operable (minus the side ones). Four standard bombs are also loaded in the bombs compartment. The plane comes with one sitting american pilot and it also contains a functional instruments panel. The panel bears a partial similarity with the real one. The pilot and some instruments have been borrowed by the Grumman J2F fine plane (created by Pascal Dumat & Thomas Brueckelt) add-on http://www.qualitysimulations.com/vsf/files/Grumman_J2F.exe Engine sound is realistic and as a horn it uses a WW2 pilot voice sound.

SBD-3 Dauntless View File The Douglas SBD Dauntless is a World War II American naval scout plane and dive bomber that was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft from 1940 through 1944. The SBD ("Scout Bomber Douglas") was the United States Navy's main carrier-based scout/dive bomber from mid-1940 through mid-1944. The SBD was also flown by the United States Marine Corps, both from land air bases and aircraft carriers. The SBD is best remembered as the bomber that delivered the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The type earned its nickname "Slow But Deadly" (from its SBD initials) during this period. This plane has elements which contain realistic data and characteristics. The default weapons load contains 2xBrowning 0.50 calibre guns at front and a rear 0.30 Browning gun. Two standard bombs are also loaded under the wings. The plane comes with a sitting american pilot a rear gunner (added as weapon) and it also contains a functional instruments panel. The panel bears a partial similarity with the real one. The pilots and the instruments have been borrowed by the Grumman J2F fine plane (created by Pascal Dumat & Thomas Brueckelt) add-on http://www.qualitysimulations.com/vsf/files/Grumman_J2F.exe As a horn it uses a WW2 pilot voice sound.

A6M2 Zero View File The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" is a long-range fighter aircraft formerly manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The Zero is considered to have been the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world when it was introduced early in World War II, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range. In early combat operations, the Zero gained a reputation as a dogfighter, achieving an outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1, but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms. During the final phases, it was also adapted for use in kamikaze operations. This plane has elements which contain realistic data and characteristics. Its engine has the specs of a "Sakae 21" engine. The default weapons load contains only guns but inside the Weapons directory you will fibd 2 types of bombs: a 60 kg (2 x underneath wings) and a 250 kg (underneath fuselage) . So you can make your own weapons load configuration by altering the [weapons_num] settings and weapons priority inside the "stores.cfg" file. The plane comes with a sitting japanese pilot and it also contains a functional instruments panel. The panel bears a partial similarity with the real one. It mainly uses default VSF instruments with the addition of 3 user made ones. As a horn it uses a "banzai cry" sound (works well in scripts). Moving parts: Canopy --> slide open/close with Ctrl-C Main Gear --> up/down with G Folding Wings --> fold/unfold with Ctrl-F Arresting Hook --> up/down with Ctrl-D Instruments --> stick, throttle, pedals, gear, flaps EXTRA!!! The vehicle folder contains a "Kamikaze" subfolder. There you can find all the necessary files to create another vehicle for kamikaze missions. It contains a "stores.cfg" file with only the 250 Kg bomb, a modified version of "broken.x" a "vehicle.cfg" with no pilot and MOST IMPORTANTLY a script file named "kamikaze.txt". How to make a kamikaze: a. Create a new vehicle folder inside the "vehicles" directory (you name it as you like i.e. "A6M_Kamikaze"). b. Copy all the content from the A6M2_Zero folder into your new folder. c. Copy the files (minus kamikaze.txt) from Kamikaze subfolder to your new vehicle folder (replace existing). d. Copy "kamikaze.txt" file into the "Vehicle Simulator/scripts" folder. e. Open VSF game and create a new scenario with a surface ship of your choice in the VSF world. f. Add the A6M_Kamikaze plane inside 10 nm radius from the ship (preferably above 3000 feet). g. Load the plane with kamikaze.txt and... choose your viewing point as the plane transforms into a kamikaze suicidal bomber! h. Alternatively you can use the "kamikaze_situation.txt" (copy into situations folder) with HMS_Hood and A6M_Kamikaze vehicles preset. Enjoy!

DKM Graf Spee View File Admiral Graf Spee was a Deutschland-class "Panzerschiff" (armored ship), nicknamed a "pocket battleship" by the British, which served with the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany during World War II. The two sister-ships of her class, Deutschland and Admiral Scheer, were reclassified as heavy cruisers in 1940. The ship was nominally under the 10,000 long tons (10,000 t) limitation on warship size imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, though with a full load displacement of 16,020 long tons (16,280 t), she significantly exceeded it. Armed with six 28 cm (11 in) guns in two triple gun turrets, Admiral Graf Spee and her sisters were designed to outgun any cruiser fast enough to catch them. Their top speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph) left only the few battlecruisers in the Anglo-French navies fast enough and powerful enough to sink them. The boat features an animated Kriegsmarine (WW-II) flag and she is capable of firing both her triple 11 inch gun turrets. You can lower and raise the bow and aft flagpoles with Ctrl-D. Enjoy!
