Thank you HBSKnight

This thing is very cool

vls wont shoot missles at ship

@alberto

The bilge isn't cross connected iirc, each of those three segments described in the video have their pump controls in one room.

There is not a way to operate the VLS manually unfortunately that was just how 猫好き designed it.

There really isn't a trick to keep it from overheating aside from just going light on the engine demand.

Thank you for using it and enjoying it. I have stopped development on this guy and have moved on to another vessel under construction which will look more like an Arleigh Burke style ship but still a FFG size. It will have some missiles you can manually control as well as 18 ADS3 VLS missiles, and a 5 inch gun iirc. That ship wont have any cooling issues and should be able to go fast with out burning up thankfully.

I've been using this vehicle for quite a while now and I totally love it. Just to point out a couple of things here that maybe I missed:
- Is there any bliege system integrated?
- Is there any way to operate the VLS manually or to select the target? Normally I waste some wen I turn it ON.
- Do I have to take any extra steps with the engines to avoid overheating? Whenever I use more than 40% of throttle the engines tend to overheat.

Again, it's a hell of a great ship and I look forward to any update.

this is war thunder level detail

this kinda reminds me of that one ship on the cold war map armada

Love it can you make a version with the helo on it already ?

Whenever I spawn it in, my game runs super slowly, is that a PC problem, or should I change my settings

As one sailor to another nice ship would love to work together on projects in the future, been working on a RAS system, tension system is a headache.

@finnthedog1307 thank you!

I am happy to report I implemented Sharp's ECU which makes starting and running the ship easier. I've added additional cooling manifolds and a fifth cylinder to help the load on the engine and let it run longer before overheating.

@XL the helicopter is in the description...here is the link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3330553608

THANK YOU FOR INSTRUCTIONS!! I thought those were flares lol

Nevermind, I forgot to check the comments for the helo, i see it

How do you fold the Helo rotors?

Thank you for your service

Hi, can you add helicopter on this ship?

@Skulduggery Pleasent, no there shouldn't be any valve needed aside from just turning on the coolant pumps when you turn on those for switches during the start up in the bridge. The ship suffers from overheating at speeds over 15kts I have a lot of 5x5 radiators both air and liquid to liquid but I think it is because it is only a 4 cyl engine so it is needing to do a lot more work. In the future I will try to redo the propulsion to either a gas turbine like the real ships I've been on, expand the engine with more cylinders, or add another main engine.

hi sorry to bother you but the ships engines have horrendous overheating issues. is there a coolant header tank that i haven't filled or a valve that requires opening for HPSW to HPFW cooling?

Thank you Ripjaw23, I was a sonar tech.

@booze_rooster eventually I’ll put in some sort of ECU that should eliminate the need for a clutch on the bridge.

ah it works now yesterday though it wasent there

This is amazing! BTW, what did you do in the Navy?

the hardest part about sailing a ship is remembering to use the clutch pedal on the bridge. Sometimes you're sailing uphill and miss a gear, stall out and roll back to the bottom of the hill. its the worst.

Wat would be the criteria?

@Idiotgameing on the top left side of the giant screen in the bridge there is a key. Turn that on and you have zoom out zoom in controls for the VLS radar display. You cannot actually control the missiles it is all automatic so you just turn it on and if that big screen is on then the system is on. It will automatically engage threats if it meets the criteria for it.

I can not figure out where to launch the missiles? Pls halp..

@masonllking this is a workshop vehicle so you would spawn it through the workbench and select the workshop tab then you'll see it listed. Select it and it'll spawn into the game that way. I just verified it worked.

the ship dosent show up on the "spawn menu"

@skullblits I added some C4 to the armory and now the hangar has working doors that can close behind the SH159 helicopter if you're carrying one inside it.

Thanks!

nice ship btw

no probs just added some on the deck for myself xD

@skullblits not at the moment but I can add some magazine in with it and I'll let you know. Easy enough to add.

any C4 around the ships?

Thanks for explanation!

@habanero7715 - I agree, I just changed the hangar to make it more flat. Before it was like that because I didn't know what helicopter I would use with it. Now it is as tall and flat as it could be for the type of helicopter I use with it.

@irish.kevin - Thank you!

@First class LexusLuthor - I struggle with that too. I want to add more interior details so things dont look so plain as you walk around the ship.

Thank you for your service!

detail is one thign i can never get on my vehciles

heli hangar looks so weird

Thank you

Цыганов Илья Вале to lower the anchor you must walk to the bow and you will see an anchor symbol on a 1x1 touch screen monitor just in front of the 76mm cannon. Click it once and the anchor will go down until it hits the bottom then it will turn green. Hit it after that and it will come up.

how to lower the anchor?

New DCS asset

Thank you all for the positive feedback!

wow

realistic ship!!

Added more internal lights.

@Pressnyakov sure I can add more lights internally

can you put more lighting?
