    CommanderNili got a reaction from MarkoBarthel for a file, ROUSSEN Class FPB   
    ROUSSEN Class Fast Attack Craft for Vehicle Simulator and Virtual Sailor NG. The Roussen class is a seven-strong class of British-designed fast attack missile boats improved and customized for the Hellenic Navy, also known as Super Vita. The class is named after its lead ship, which in turn is named after Lt Nikolaos Roussen, a World War II submarines officer who was killed in the suppression of the Navy mutiny in April 1944.
    This boat has properties. The ship bears an animated Hellenic Navy flag and carries two rotating radars. The bow and aft flagpoles are animated and they can be lowered or raised with Ctrl-A. 

    This boat carries 4 EXOCET missiles  (2 on each side) that can lock on targets and be fired. 
    Just make sure that prior to the missile launch your target ship is in your beam port or starboard, with a relative bearing 65 degrees up to 115 degrees off your bow. 
    You can fire the missiles from the weapons panel or by bringing up the HUD (Shift-H) so that you can hear the lock on sound. 

    The OTO MELARA 76/62 gun is also playable and loaded with real life data (inside the weapon.cfg).
    Finaly the RAM launcher is also functional. Just point the turret to the target, lock on and shoot. 
    I have not included a panel yet, but I plan to make one in the future.

    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).

    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!

    CommanderNili got a reaction from MarkoBarthel for a file, SBD-3 Dauntless   
    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.
    Moving parts:     
            Front Canopy --> slide open/close with Ctrl-C
            Rear Canopy --. animate open/close with Ctrl-A
            Main Gear --> up/down with G
            Arresting Hook --> up/down with C
            Instruments --> stick, gear, flaps, engine start

    CommanderNili got a reaction from MarkoBarthel for a file, A6M2 Zero   
    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 C
            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!

    CommanderNili got a reaction from MarkoBarthel for a file, 209 Sub Hellenic Navy   
    209-1100 (Glafkos Class) Submarine for Hellenic Navy
    This submarine dates back to the Virtual Sailor Days. I had sent it to only a few VS Forum friends who could actually appreciate military vehicles and submarines in particular. She has been altered and prepared for VSF and is dedicated to this friendly site and its administrator.
    Weapons (VSF add-on):
    1 SonarPing (Sound Effect only)
    2XSHKVAL super fast guided torpedoes
    2XSUT guided torpedoes
    2XMK14 unguided torpedoes
    2XDM2A4 guided torpedoes
    This boat has elements. She comes with a fully functional interior (control room). The boat features many animations in order to resemble the functionality of a real sub within the limits of VSF.
    Animated parts as follows:
    Glass Windscreen: Appears-Disappears with Ctrl-A
    Flag with pole: Raised and Lowered with Ctrl-D
    Periscopes (Search & Attack): Raised and Lowered with PgUp-PgDn
    ESM and Rotating Radar: Appear-Disappear with Ins-Del
    Snorkel Mast: Lowered and Raised as Sliding Door (With Mouse on OR Shift-S for animations panel and then press Slide Doors)
    The guided torpedoes can lock on targets and be fired.
    All of the instruments are specifically designed and implemented for this unique model. Try to view the interior in the darkness to experience the emmissive panel. 
     
    Realistic sounds have been included for a true immersive submarine experience.
    CREDITS
    Many credits go to George Mastrogeorgiou for the realistic textures of the hull and also for the finishing touch in the 3D model itself.
    Credits go to Sppokymufu ( I guess) for some of the instruments. It's been so many years that I don't remember for sure, but I think that some of the instruments come from Spookymufu's subs.
     
    Enjoy!

    CommanderNili got a reaction from MarkoBarthel for a file, PLAN Luoyang   
    This is a Jiangwei II class Frigate (Luoyang-527)  for VSF.
    This boat has elements. She comes with a basic but functional bridge. The boat features animated hand-rails for helipad. The animation is activated with Ctrl-A. She bears an animated Chinese flag and she has one standard VSF rotating radar. Other animations also exist: Sliding Hangar door (mouse on and slide sideways), Bridge doors (Ctrl-D), Bow Flagpole (PgUp-PgDn).
    This boat carries 4 YJ-83 Surface missiles that can lock on targets and be fired. 
    Just make sure that prior to the missile launch your target ship is in your beam with a relative bearing 65 degrees up to 115 degrees off your bow.
     
    You can fire the missiles from the weapons panel or by bringing up the HUD (Shift-H) so that you can hear the lock on sound. 
    Other weapons are also playable and loaded with near to real life data (inside the weapon.cfg).
    Realistic sounds have been included (engine, interior, start, stop).
     
    Enjoy!
