New de Havilland Sea Vampire F20 (freeware)

One that I've hoped for, for quite a while, thank you Rob. Now I can replace my cobbled together version.

Found the carrier after takeoff from Marseille

Caught a wire first time out:applause:

Time to launch and try another landing

Got excited after 5 successful traps in a row and decided to try one of Rob's other planes, the Sea Venom

First time around and I slammed her into the deck a little too hard, walked away though:icon_lol:

Thanks again, wouldn't have half as much fun without these classic planes and also the work of the people that made all the fantastic carriers to land them on.

Hello oldpropfan,

Thank you for yoursuperb screenshoots of he sea vampire and sea venom aboard the aircraft carrier. I hope to do the same exercice and obtain my carrier qualification after seven successful deck landinsg and catapult launchs.

Have a good day

Can anyone tell me how to make the external fuel tanks show. I cannot seem to fix that. I tried adding fuel to them etc.

Thanks

Hi Dag,
You need to go to the fuel/payload section in game and fill external tanks, then toggle the clean/tanks switch.
Or just park in a fuel slot at any airfield, that has one, then that will automatically fill all tanks, you still need to toggle them with the switch.
Andy, I didnt bother with a paintkit for the Sea Vampire as all of them look more or less the same, I am working on a vampire FB 5 which will have the same texture mapping, I'll be
doing a paintkit for that, I'll maybe put a Sea Vampire layer in the PSP kit.

Thanks very much Rob, that explains it :)

That would be ace and much appreciated! Yup, all the schemes are practically identical, but I'd like to change the serials (for instance for those based at RNAS Culdrose) as well as add more/less grime and stains etc.

On a related note, is the texture mapping for the Venom similar to the Sea Venom? I guess it is a long shot, but if it is the case it'd be wonderful to have a paintkit for the Sea Venom too... ;-)
