darkxess 60 Posted June 17, 2017 Hey, guys, I am making a model of the HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier, and though it's not so hard on making the model I am wondering on in-game sizes for the model scale I need to be going for? I hear that real life height, lenght, and width etc is the same as in-game for ArmA 3? The specifications for the carrier's length 920ft. Height and others I don't know or haven't found yet! so how do I even scale this to size? Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawndartleo 109 Posted June 17, 2017 This much we know, the rest is probably up to your artists eye... Length: 280 m (920 ft)[8] Beam: 39 m (128 ft) (waterline) 73 m (240 ft) overall[9][10] Draught: 11 m (36 ft) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeTeT 1523 Posted June 17, 2017 There are certain limitations to peripheral LOD sizes in arma3. E.g. the road lod cannot be longer then 40-50 meters, the geo lod cannot be composed of a single lod beyond that limit. So nowadays you probably want to create a resolution LOD of the complete carrier first, then add several p3d objects with the geo and road lod, which are limited to 40-50 meters size. For constructing the carrier in game, take a look at the functions for the Freedom, the CUP LHD or the Nimitz. Good luck, it's quite a task. And just in case this is your first arma project, I would encourage you to start with something more limited in scope first. Like creating a rescue boat. Or a simple locker or box to stow stuff in on the carrier. The time spent there will not be in vain when tackling the carrier finally. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted June 17, 2017 There was a good Queen Elizabeth-class carrier model for ArmA2. IIRC, JDog made it (same guy as the Nimitz). Somebody even started porting it, then lost interest after a while. It was a long time ago, but the model should still be good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uro 220 Posted June 17, 2017 @rksl-rock was working on the QE Class Carrier some time ago. There is a gallery of their models of the HMS Queen Elizabeth on their website - http://www.rkslstudios.info/index.php?/gallery/album/39-hms-queen-elizabeth-cvf/ I don't know if it is still on ongoing project though, you could send him a PM to inquire further. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks 280m Long 35.7m at the waterline 70.2m Wide at the flight deck including sponsons 56m for keel to the top of the masthead 9 decks + flight deck Hanger is 150 long and approx 26-30m wide. (guess based on pics during construction) This might help you with your internal layout. Good luck its a huge job to take on. 2 hours ago, Uro said: @rksl-rock was working on the QE Class Carrier some time ago.

Its very much alive but its behind the LPD in priority. Until recently I hadnt found a way around some of the issues i was facing. Ive learnt a lot withthe LPD project. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
