exist a BB-61 Iowa for cfs2?

Another model that I can not see, is the Mogami , The Microsoft mogami model is not in scale, It is so big compared to any model. The kongo of Microsoft have similar problema but can be replaced by VN_Kongo.
 
If you can't find a ship here then check these sites.

Usio's Mogami is very good but you have to go nto the dp file and change the family and category under [misc data] to those of a cruiser. Usio coded his ships as carriers for some reason. The downloads include several alternate dps, but I recommend using Pen32Win's alternate dp for this and all other Usio ships - http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=17&id=11461 - This gives it/them more manageable (survivable) flak and damage profiles.

The stock shj_kumano (Mogami-class) is 19% too big. It it hard at all to dump the model into gMax and resize it. I'll attach the resized model below.

Hohoho!, hahaha. Allen!, exelent work !. can you do the same with the indianapolis please, the stock model is very nice model, with correct texture, but It is smaller, I see the vn model of indianapolis, but It is no cool than the stock Microsoft model that look more real.

Thank so much for the Kumano!.

the other observation is than the Vn Brooklyn and St lois of the pack

http://simviation.com//cgi-bin/syb2.cgi?section=cfs&file=phpships.zip

Are a Little bigger , In the image you can se in Left of the St lois the Vn Wichita and CL-55 Cleveland, They are ok in size.

I like St lois because the models and texture are exelent, I like if you can reduce the size to look like Wichita size.

The Wichita, Brooklyn and St lois have different armament, They are different models of the colection. I do not like the idea of replace the Brooklyn and St lois for Wichita.There are in SOH a new VN Brooklyn with size fixed, but the texture are different and imposible rework to look like the old model of phpships.zip .

Can you reduce Vn St lois size and increase the stock Indianápolis place?.It has nice armament and some cool battles in WWII.

Alright Max you started it. Time to teach you how to do it. That is if your interested. If you have the drive to do it then give it a try.

What you will need;

ModelconverterX
http://www.scenerydesign.org/old-releases/stable/ModelConverterX_130.zip

Gmax
http://storage2.turbosquid.com/Download/index.php?ID=L567271&DLC=XFM83W83US

FS2002 SDK
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/makemdl-sdk.15/download?version=15

and or FS2004 SDK
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/gmax-sdk.34/

MDLC
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=6816

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=6220

Allen's bat files
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=16622
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=16620

something else to look at.
Robert John's old to new models
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=4073
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=4075
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=49&id=3761

Now to use some of this you will need win XP. a few things can be used with win 7. Allen's bat files saddly don't work in win 7. Unless someone has found a way to use them in DosBox.

Most have tutorial on how to install. once you have everything we can guide you through it.

Other wise it might be a little bit before someone can get to it. Although Allen is rather quick at getting this sort of thing done.

People who are working with GMax are;
Allen - Aircraft and other modeling
Robert John - All static models and scenery
Gius - Buildings and other scenery
Stuart - New Ships
Kdriver - Static and scenery models. Though I don't know how much he is doing.
Blood_Hawk23 - A little bit of everything

There are others but I think we are it for CFS2.

If anyone else would like to learn there it is.

Till Later,
John

I can do the same for the Indianapolis.

EDIT:
Resize done. Had to upsize the model by 5%

Ships use a mdl like aircraft. All you need to Model Converter X, Gmax with FS2004 SDK and Mk MDLC to convet the model to CFS2 format. Also my bat for making objects (and weapons) should work fine on Win7. All of the programs are 32-bit.
