Hi VD,
maybe you are looking for a better Swordfishskin. I found an rather old mod called:Illustrious_Swordfish_texture_fix_v2
ImO it looks much better then now:

If you like it i will upload to my Mediafire side.
Best regards

Hi VonDos,

very good work - looks very good with the oil drums. If you want to replace the swordfish skin, you must import the new TGA into the CV_AirPlanes.dat or add the new skin - renamed: CV_Swordfish.tga - to the folder "data/Textures/TNormal/tex".

How the last two plane cann reach the ranwey
And on ather hand i m daying too see thise fine ship in game and in my pat
I hope the relis is soon.
Keep up the gr8 work.

The Scharnhorst apparently set a record during the sinking of the Glorious - for the longest range hit- 26,000m.
The carriers do seem to be quite fragile in game, i've seen the Graf Zeppelin sunk by a pair of destroyers, and a single salvo from a battleship. Illustrious classes fair no better. Shame, but probably fairly accurate . . any opinions?

Good stuff as usual VonDos, another one to add to my folder of all your other ships in SH3. I just wonder a bit about the stability of those oil drums on a flat deck in heavy weather. Petty point really though, sorry m8.

I feel guilty now

Looking forward to this release

Hummmm IIRC carrier airplanes normally were not fueled in the deck due to security reasons. If the carrier suffered an attack right then, the whole high octane aviation gazoline would explode in flames and wreck havoc. In the battle of Midway this disaster happened to the japanese, as they were refueling and rearming their airplanes at deck for a quick second sortie, and it caused the loss of the carrier when the US airplanes attacked.

Also, as Rowi pointed out, it would be rather odd to see those drums there if the ship is tackling with rough weather I would suggest eliminating them or swapping them for other more appropiate objects.

Other than that, the ship is looking GORGEOUS

Flight deck crews?

If you can`t reach him take the files an give him credit. I think he would be proud to see his rather old (2006) work together with your beauty.
Best regards

I'm at a loss to see what is wrong with the current Swordfish skins

If you are going to change them might I suggest you include both and give the user the option as to which one they prefer

Those currently used in GWX3.0 (and the beta Courageous I suspect).

[rowi58]

Sorry guys,

all nice ideas with the different skons - but remember: the Swordfish is not a plan from the folder "data/Air" belonging to the roster "British/Air". So they will not show any markings, when you use these skins.

The skins embedded in the "CV_AirPlanes.dat" will show markings - because they are part of the skin.
