RKSL Studios presents LPD (Landing Platform Duck)
This was a APRIL FOOLS JOKE. In this case LPD = Landing Platform Duck. The story goes that on the run up to April Fools many years ago I was teasing some pics of the Albion class LPD ship I was working on. It was a real project, there was plenty of WIP pics and online sessions testing and explaining the limitations etc. So it was pretty believeable. There was a lot of interest in it. I kept promising to releasing it for about a week, each time saying we'd found some more issues, delaying it right until the day before. I finally released it at 00:01 on April 1st.
Most people thought it was hilarious. Some did not get the joke. I even got death threats. Which made it it more hilarious for me. Anyway, this addon is the reason for the odd appearance of ducks on anything RKSL.

Still to do:
- While the txtures do look ok there is still more work to do. RVMATs etc
- The CWIS isnt functioning.
- The PhysX in the dock is a bit tempermental I need to work on the Geometry a bit more.
- Animations - radar and cranes etc still need work.
- Loading management scripts - while the entire thing is PhysX compatible so you can drive around it. If you want to load something and expect it to stay put while you move the ship you need to lock it down. The scripted slots are limited and i'm working on expanding these..

- Various other bits and pieces
Finding the addon in-game:
In the Editor look under:
- BluFor
- UK Armed Forces
- Boats
- RKSL Albion LPD or RKSL Bulwark LPD.
Placement ingame:
Place the ships atleast 20m from shore. This are big vessels and need space around them.
CHANGELOG
1.001 - Steam Release Fully Signed. 1.000 - Initial Release as April 1st Prank
Known Issues:
- Placing helicopters on the deck needs to be done carefully. Dont drop them from height. This will cause both objects to explode.
- Steering at speed results in the ship slewing. Take it slowly at first until you get used to the controls
- Too much speed can be built up if you are not careful. This will be limited eventually.
- Sharp turns resort in listing
