US Naval Warfare Pack [WIP]

[ice_age0815 37]

Service Announcement: 

 

It comes with great sadness to announce that we have found one of our members, Kuvangc, stealing models online and then claiming to be his. After some time researching his high detail models he was creating in a few hours, we found this out to be true and have since deleted all his modelling work from our database and have taken steps to present this in the future. He was also found to be using content from other mod makers without their permission and due to all this, he has been kicked from the 7 Seas Studios Team. 

 

We suggest other mod makers to take precautions if they are working with him as well and be aware that any content created by him potentially has stolen models from somewhere on the internet.

 

 

Thank you all for your time and we will keep everyone posted on the F/A-18C and MV-22B release coming up here soon! :)

what a bummer really to bad

I was going on a rant on the news you gave. Dont understand why you got rid of the models though. Evan if he edited them they would be his since they were changed. He just got the bones and made it into a body.

You have to have rights or permissions from the content that was modified. It's fruit from the poisonous tree.

Doesn't work that way. If you use someone's model and call it your own, make some modifications here and there, and then release it as a BI mod, it is illegal because you're 1. using stolen content and claiming ownership and 2. breaking the terms and conditions of BI. 

 

Seeing how he did not gain permission from the content creators to use their models, we deleted them to prevent any type of legal issue that may arise from it.

 

 

Also some good news for a change: CH-53E Is in game and working. Just needs skins and then it's good for release!

Is it a Ch-53 sea stallion or super stallion

[Foxone 1044]

Is it a Ch-53 sea stallion or super stallion

It is the CH-53E Super Stallion, and the German MH-53, but we are also going to make the CH-53K King Stallion.

Fox, MH-53E is USN xD

We're actually going to do a resking our CH-53E to look like the CH-53GA(German Variant).

 

Also I found out that the MV-22B can do mid-air-refueling so now i have to put that on hold to figure out what it currently can do IRL and add that to the current MV-22B im working on releasing. Overall it's good for release once the final skins are done so expect the MV-22B very soon :)

Ok let me get this straight: you are working on a CH-53E and a CH-53K, and you're planning to do a reskin of the E version in order to look like the german CH-53GA (which is an export version of the CH-53D). While ago, someone posted a wip version of the model of what seemed to me like the CH-53D http://i.imgur.com/j9B164U.png(two engines, straight tail, 6 bladed main rotor) which for the GA version is even more legit! (and perhaps some of you could be interested in an IAF skin, or an iranian navy's one) Anyway outstanding work so far, can't wait!  

[Chairborne 2594]

The CH-53G/D is also shorter compared to the E.

Well aware. Hell, I fly in HMH-465 as part of the 15thMEU. The pic was an early WIP of the E. In order to minimize team workload, we're just gonna do an E reskin honestly. 

 

 

Also in some interesting news:

 

In January at the 2015 Surface Navy Association symposium, ‪#‎SECNAV‬ announced that LCS would be redesignated as FF. He also talked about changing the designations of ships such as JHSV, AFSB and MLP to find designators for these ships more grounded in tradition, innovation and the creative thinking that characterizes the missions of today's Fleet. The new designators of those ships will be:

JHSV to "Expeditionary Fast Transport" - EPF

MLP to "Expeditionary Transfer Dock" - ESD

AFSB to "Expeditionary Mobile Base" - ESB

 

 

Due to this, we're gonna hold off on the LCS ships and await the finalized redesign and more information on this. 

[lucapec 7]

Ok thank you for the explanation! Fair enough, this is mainly a usn and usmc mod.. Keep up the good work!

[phantomphan 54]

Thank you for the information. I was wondering if eventually the Hornet's horizontal stabs and flaps will droop when the aircraft is shut down. Kinda like this:

 

 

Thank you very much! 

[officeramr 269]

Will the Jayhawks be using the US Coast Guard Livery? 

[officeramr 269]

If you ever want to add more ships the CB-90 would be an interesting one

but thats a swedish navy ship and this is a usn/usmc mod

[Foxone 1044]

Its a swedish ship yes. But the US Navy also operates this ship.

[officeramr 269]

The Sweads are the main user, but the USN does use it for patrolling rivers and for guard duties. The image doesn't really show its armament. Its equipped with 2 miniguns or 12.7MM chain guns on each side as well as a forward pointing one

I think we're building the CB-90s replacement. I think. Not sure since the USN has several boats that look the same.

Wouldn't of thought they would replace it yet, USN only uses a few of them to patrol Rivers and guard docks.

UPDATE MONDAY

 

Happy Monday everyone and Happy Labor day in the USA!

 

 

After last week's events, we have been hard at work to check our content and have been working on finalizing several mods. So far, the current status is:

 

• CH-53E has been in game and working! We are just working on fixing the cockpit interior and then we will finalize the textures.
• F/A-18C is done, we are just ironing out the speedbrake and working on the service menu.
• MH-60S is 99.9999999% done and is in final testing.
• MV-22 is being retextured yet again so we can make the interior more HD, as well as fixing the MFD's.

 

On some other news, Norsk2277 has joined the team. If you don't know him, he is working on the Bridgelayer HEMTT and he will be assisting on the LVSR development. We have also had a member from the 15thMEU(SOC) join our team(doesnt have a BIF account yet :p ) and we are now using his overhauled CH-53E model, which is getting the cockpit redone and will be converted into the MH-53E.

 

Other than that, expect some WIP pictures of the current aircraft up in the next few days as some of the mods are getting ready for release!

[WastedMike 11]

Please make this one big pack instead of a bunch of smaller ones.

[xtrimiles 10]

Please make this one big pack instead of a bunch of smaller ones.

Sorry but I don't think that's a good idea...

[Foxone 1044]

Please make this one big pack instead of a bunch of smaller ones.

We will release everything seperate, but will also make a helo pack, containing al the helos and so on for all the other types of vehicles, and we will make One big pack with everything.

speaking about online models, did you guys checked that his models(i cant do it so im asking) don’t come from sketchup cause a lot of mods i used in the past on other games use sketchup models and no one had any issue yet (http://www.moddb.com/mods/modern-wars). i know for a fact that sketchup models are free and somewhere in the tos of sketchup is mentioned that they are shareware or something, meaning basically that you can do what you want with them as long as you don’t sell them for cash. using them in FREE game mods is probably what their creators wish for since they know or should know that others on sketchup community can (and already did) reuse their models and enhance it then release it on their account. 

if his models are not from sketchup, then its another story, since its a known fact that a FREE 3ds model from any online 3dmodel download site is 99% ripped from a aaa game, some sites even have the guts to tell that in the description (i saw a lot of cod, bf, hawx rips) they look too good to be free and if you download a few and open them in o2 or other 3d software(i did to test my claim) you can see that they are ripped cause the vertices(and the origins) are not symmetric, they are always off by a 0.001-0.005 units from 1 side to another or way off from the xyz origin, which is impossible if you do it in any 3d software.

 

examples for my claims:

It is the CH-53E Super Stallion, and the German MH-53, but we are also going to make the CH-53K King Stallion.

finally! I waited so long for that chopper to use with the BW Mod  :) You guys are doing great work, you're honest and you deliver what you promise. You're one of my favorite mod teams. Keep up the great work!
