New Carriers..?

I download all the carriers from this Facebookside some days ago.... but most of them take my FSX down... just dont know why.

Mostly i`m looking fore a good CV-78 or CV-79 (Gerald Ford..., Kennedy ) but the one of this facebookside allso shut my fsx down. I wrote to the owner of this side and some hours later he market it as P3D only....

Yust know the side is down....

Hello mate,

Some of the models were supposed to be for P3D (the Reagan was one) but I think it was compiled using the P3Dv1 SDK as it works fine in FSXA. Disappointing to know that it's really Nimitz and the bridge is wrong!!! I've just repainted one of the ACC carriers to 77 George Bush (which is in the UK at the moment) but of course, it has clear decks and is a little boring.

If you are able to share your more correct Reagan with deck additions, I'll be up for a copy. Understand if it's for your own use though;)

The page was pulled by a payware company. Say no more!!

I'm curious to see if the site pops up myself. He'd applied some interesting mods to my early carrier work and I'm all for that (it would've been nice to have been asked - I could've helped him out but sometimes that's the nature of this hobby and I'm okay with that if it enhances the sim for others)

My only concern when I looked at some of the models was that some of the add ons mods looked like they'd been reverse engineered from other authors carriers and applied to the modded carrier, and certainly from a few payware companies and that may explain (I have no evidence of this) why the site was pulled. The Ford class and kitty hawk looked very familiar to two payware carriers that I already have- at least at a cursory glance and in terms of textures. The C-2 also looked quite similar to a payware one I have from a well known (and occasionally berated) company starting with 'A'

This is all just conjecture from me so with luck the site will appear again soon.....he's given me some food for thought for Essex and Midway enhancements.

Just read Dave's post - that may explain it!


Cheers

Yeah, missed that part myself. I initially had suspicions about his F-16 though somewhere on his comments sections it pointed to the original, turned out not to be the IRIS model as I had initially suspected might be the case. Guess I gave him te benefit of the doubt after that.

A great package. I bought it some time ago. It's a nice change from the regular carriers with catapults.
On that one, you can simulate the real thing by using the FSX Acceleration commands to attach the plane to the catapult, set your throttle to full AB, and then detach from the catapult instead of triggering it.
This simulates the wheel blocks like on the real carrier.

Hi Dave (and others who asked for a share....)
would be happy to share my updated carriers with you...but.... i also use models from my payware carriers Kitty Hawk, and Enterprise so far. For my own use thats ok... but cant share those one. Yust now i do a new work with other models. I think that will be ready in some days and i hope i get permission from the orignial modeldesiners to share this on.

By the way.... the Abacus Flight Deck 5 package has a good looking USS_GERALD_FORD inside. Just got my original for a very smal price in Amazon. Will post some pictures later. This seams to be a nice on for FSX....(and think that the one from this Facebookside was a updated version of this one from Abacus payware)

Bear did a very nice job on animating the wheel blocks and blast shield.
The detail on his aircraft is superb.
Sad, I really hope to some day see his SU-34. I imagine he has all these aircraft we just haven't seen.
 
A Su-34 would be so cool !
However, I would love the get the Su-27/30 to work as they should first.
In P3Dv3.3.5, I'm still unable to perform a Cobra with that plane, despite deactivating the limiter in the cockpit.
And of course, the thrust vectoring doesn't work on the Su-30...

Landing F18 is part of the model. It lands... stopps and moved on to catapult. Then launches and turns around the carrier for next land. Nice eyecatcher.

Nice model and worth to have a look for. Will update this one for use with some other planes so that it will have more "life" on deck.


First update. A little more life on deck and little other modification.

Hmm.. that looks nice. Wonder if the red fire engine has Russian logos rather than Chinese?

Wondering if there are any high end Russian ships available..?
There are a number of models out there but it would be nice to match Kuznetsov.
 
Nothing of the same detail I'm aware of. I have the ones in your shot and a few more besides but they're all much of a muchness. Can't remember any of them leaving me with a 'WOW' factor. Good for making up the numbers though;)
