Righto... and finally the E-1B! Grumman certainly milked this airframe.

GREAT response from the painters' community, there are new liveries every other day.

Old school , the basic deck plan dates back to the Kitty Hawk/America class which led on to the Nimitz shown above , the Tracker/Trader grew up in the the world of the Essex rebuilds and Midway class's making the decks quite a bit smaller and more the "old school" aircraft carrier .

Wow......now thats an aircraft!! great screens ....i must have missed this thread. awesome stuff Charl.

Cheers chaps...
The Grumman7 are up on AVSIM and Flightsim now.

I'm always careful to hide the carrier ID because I know that Wing Commander Warren is watching.
But this one was to hand, so served the purpose:

The Grummans? I believe so, yes. But there are dedicated FSX versions promised, too.

Umm...Yeah! And a Westland Seaking, too.

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 10:57 am

I new the Australians were going to upgrade their fleet , obviously they repainted and had Commonwealth Aircraft Factory to tool up and rebuild the Skyhawk since we did'nt want them

by **Charl** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 1:39 pm

Ooh there's a lot of artistic license in flight simulation... laziness and cheapness also play a great role!
Didn't think I'd get away with painting kangaroos on the British AEW Mk2A Seaking either...

Guess that means I won't be able to post this bolter shot then...

Suppose I'll have to spring for the RAZBAM Aussie A-4G pack, after all they went to Vietnam, Cold Warriers of a sort.
Although HMAS Melbourne, without ever firing a shot in anger, had the rare distinction of scoring not one but two own goals, destroyers both.

Aircraft and Carriers - my favourite type off warfare , one thing i'm not sure about , i wonder if the RAAF have played around more the recent and with permission to put some or try to put there F18 aboard and any US Navy carrier ? they did operate the on the very so be to find out .

by **Charl** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 4:26 pm

Well they have hooks, so...
Interesting the other day the RAN had manoeuvres with the Chinese! and did not invite their friends the USN.

Anyway, to put this to bed: 26 Bucks *Kaching!* from Sim Market, proud owner of the Real McCoy A-4G no hump.
The Melbourne that came with the package is alas from a previous era, so:

Carriers are a lotta fun - I must say before I disinstalled (no typo, it's what I did) FSX, it was the carriers that I played with.
Best flightsimming ever was eons ago with a dedicated F-14 sim that you lined up on a pitching carrier *Call the Ball!* erm, Wave off! Wave Off!

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 4:31 pm

Gorgeous screens Charl

especially that Tracer

......... as you would put it the money shot

by **Charl** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 4:38 pm

Cheers Matey, I read that the clearance of a Tracker starboard wing on HMAS Mel was a metre or so on landing - US flyboys refused the invitation!
