Playable as in able to move in one piece or as in able to fire weapons and move?

BTW good luck with this I sincerely hope you can finish this, as you seem to have a capable team with you.

[Wilco 944]

Nice, can't wait to see the progress on it.

What about interiors? Are these already modeled in your model? (I mean, just basic locations: the bridge, hanger, etc.)

[MSpencer 0]

1. Playable as in a static object. Still needs EXTENSIVE modelling, but we have a basic outside model done.

2. No progress on interiors as of yet. Could use help.

[NZXSHADOWS 0]

I dont have any idea of what the interiors look like.But we can always make one up.

[Major Fubar 0]

Mybe you could get permission to use the interiors of the LSD as a base or guide...

Perhaps, however that all depends... looks like we're damned till we find a squid.

[FerretFangs 0]

Well, I was a squid, "snipe." Nuclear machinist Mate 3rd class, USS Abraham Lincoln, back during the first Gulf War. So I might be able to say what looks authentic or not, but I didn't spend any time on the bridge, in the CIC, or really even very long above the water line on that pig. I do, however, have numerous resources and contacts that may be able to provide detailed images of these areas.

Any help is appreciated!

I'll see what I can find and dig up for you.  Hopefully OFP 2 will allow more flexible and better simulation which will allow full or effective simulation of naval units such as submarines, surface ships, and carriers.

Here's a schematic of the layout of an Arliegh Burke class CiC room.

I'll keep looking, but the USN tightly controlls pictures taken in-ship and probably will have difficulty finding very many helpful diagrams.

Using the TOW LSD interrior would be a NO I gues but you could always aks Jahve

[FHP_Intercepter 0]

I have pictures of a CIC (don't remember if it's a DDG or not) somewhere from my time in the Navy Sea Cadets, I'll see if I can find them for you. I have also spent much time aboard DDGs so I can help you determine if things look right. Let me know what you need.

Waffen, who are you to dictate TOW's actions?

Small update on exterior.Model has 3829 points an 3748 Faces.

[FerretFangs 0]

Hey that looks really good! Now this part, I can help you with, naval warfare is my particular area of expertise. I'm tempted to keep this to myself, becasue this is what we really needed- an Arleigh Burke cruiser! But in keeping with reality, you've got twice as many VLS tubes on the bow, as opposed to what's actually fitted, IRL. It's really 32 tubes forward, 64 aft. ( Flight IIA )

Reference all of this here: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ddg-51.htm

Also, you've got an old gun up front. You've got the 5"54 MK 42 gun system, or an MK 75 76mm/3-inch gun.

You want the MK 45 5-inch / 62-caliber (MOD 4 ERGM) system.

Now it's difficult to tell from this angle, but it looks like the step from the aft missle deck is a little too shallow. The Helo hangers are located here, so you may want to increase your draft by about three meters. See here for what I'm talking about: http://www.globalsecurity.org/militar....22.jpg.

Anyway, you got this well in hand, I look forward to seeing more progress!

ill be attempting the exterior textures for it.

i aint no marfy but ill get her lookin half decnet

[MSpencer 0]

After seeing the Momsen being built in Bath, I considered doing the Flight IIA, I mean those Mk19s and M2s are damn nice...

Of course we'd get stuck with more work. Perhaps later, after Flight I is complete.

nice heli ...

this is what we really needed- an Arleigh Burke cruiser!

Arleigh Burke is a DDG, ergo guided-missile destroyer, NOT cruiser. The Ticonderoga is THE missile cruiser class, CG-52 to CG-73 having MK41 vertical missile launching system.

Looks like a four-bladed Bell chopper... wasn't the CAF mod working on one?
