HMAS Melbourne (R21)

As far as I can see so do the paint look quite similar or has you seen some error I have not picked up?
 
:)

The only difference compared with the pictures from 1977 is that heli landing spot 6 has been slightly moved.

Nice! Really a nice model and of course paint!

Back on track, back to HMAS Melbourne. The original angled deck as seen through the 1950's and most of the 60s.

Very nice model sir :salute:
And this is good for carriers too, great fun to land on a small carrier :jump:

The gannet is holding up nice, even i it is a few years old now. The included RAN textures do look dated and the color shades for the paint scheme are all wrong. So I have started up yet another project... (you might notice the new paint on my previous screenshots).
 
Is it a new model or the "old" one from the Bonaventure thread?

To me it looks like you have got some of the sim.cfg model entries wrong and/or the model names in the aicarrier file.
Take a look and hopefully it should be easy to fix.

BONAVENTURE and the old MELBOURNE are OK but the new MELBOURNEs did shown, sir
 
It is the same model as I use. Remember to include the island and other textures as well.

You might try to change the order of the entries bringing Melbourne to the front.

You tell me! Actually I'm searching for the COD.4 model myself. I guess it was a limited release which is not longer available as the britsim site is down. We might want to ask Rob if he can make it available again.

Oh, OK sir. :mixedsmi:
 
Open beta

Gannet AS.1 XA334 "860" of No. 816 NAS RAN. XA334 was severely damaged when it collided with the safety barrier when operating from the RAN carrier HMAS Melbourne in June 1967. After a catapult launch on a routine exercise, power was lost on one of the twin power pack Double Mambas. The pilot declared an emergency and obtained permission to fire the eight rockets carried on the wings. Being still in the take-off configuration, the rocket blast blew off both outboard flaps and severely damaged what remained of the flaps. This necessitated ahigher than normal landing speed and the arrestor hook failed to pick up an arrestor wire and the aircraft crashed into the Safety Barrier. The extensive damage was not economically repairable resulting in the aircraft being withdrawn from service. It is today at the Camden Museum of Aviation, Australia.
