I think this should work better. Maryland is too far from being workable. Had lots of these guys going at once, ran nice and smooth re FPS
Sorry 'bout the 'orrid spelling. No, not a stroke. I flail away one handed at the keyboard and correct the spelling latter.
As part of this weeks comedic cavalcade of cascading catastrophes, the SOH interface has not been allowing edits.
FSX AI USS Clemson class fleet Destroyers
The Clemson class was a series of 156 destroyers which served with the United States Navy
from after World War I through World War II. The Clemson-class ships were commissioned
by the United States Navy from 1919 to 1922, built by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company,
New York Shipbuilding Corporation, William Cramp and Sons, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Mare Island Naval Shipyard,
Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Bath Iron Works, some quite rapidly. The Clemson class was a minor
redesign of the Wickes class, and was the last pre-World War II class of flush-decker destroyers to be built for
the United States. Until the Fletcher-class destroyer, the Clemsons were the most numerous class of destroyers
commissioned in the United States Navy, and were known colloquially as "four-stackers" or "four-pipers."
Clemson class AVP bgl by Earl Watkins and Wayne Tudor for the wicked Kerama Retto Seadrome scenery. Reduced drawcalls,
cleaned out texture files, added hard deck(why not?)and converted with FSX SDK. Surplus DD's were converted to Seaplane Tenders
and Attack and Commando Transports by removing the forward boiler room and two stacks, the spaces used then for;
what we call today 'the Mission Bay'. So how do we convert the AVD back into a Destroyer? By building a new forward machinery
set out of electronium and welding it into the ships with Bianry inert pixel welding. Or we'll use the AICarriers config.
I Made a pair of Stacks, built the scale and position in, and attached default smoke. The model is set in formation
at the same position as the Up dated Clemson AVD model in the AIcarriers config file (provided). The speed and acceleration constants must be
the same for both models.
Use the provided config file for AICarriers.

I hope Mr. Watkins doesn't mind. I have Emailed him a number of time. I checked the sent messages log. The oldest ones go
back over a year.

For use by Ronald Dandurand as he sees fit, and SOH members for testing ect,ect, usual dire warnings, yadayadayada, have fun.
