TDR, that looks marvelous.
Anyone here seen the movie "Dive Bomber" from 1941, full color, starring Fred McMurray. I have this one so ready. I do my own graphics such as the FIGHTING SIX insignia, all are vector graphics, nothing is copied. Even the National Insignia is self made. And I purchased real Long Beach Font, which is used.

Oh well you beat me to it.
I did copy some stuff my hand drawing is awful.

Great screenshots, Yoyo. Did you use the standard bumpmaps? It looks as if the bumpmapping is a tad more pronounced compared to what I see on my system. But maybe it's just the lighting.
Cheers,

Not a criticism at all of this screenshot but are the textures a bit too "hot" and reflective? The blue colored band, cowl and tail seem to have almost a metal flake finish, whereas the planes IRL seem to have a much more toned down, saturated gloss enamel finish. Perhaps this is because to get the sliver paint looking right, the alpha or specular etc is also being applied to the colored areas?

It comes with the WBS Mustang Tales pack which I bought at Christmas and never installed. I was looking around for a period carrier and knew I should have Shangri-La but couldn't find it. Reason being.. I'd not installed MT!
Mustang Tales was very much a will I, won't I for a long time. How many more Mustangs do I need (having all the others!). Shangri-La and the navalized Mustang tipped the balance

If you want some true period carriers to do carrier ops from. (only for the purist out there
) You might want to get the Coral Sea and Midway packs from SimV. Lexington comes with the CS pack,
and Yorktown and Enterprise in Midway. With a hull and deck number change you could make Lex look
like Saratoga. You could also pick up Langley from the same developer as above packs from SimV.
The only pre-war USN carrier not made for Flightsim is USS Ranger.

The Gulfhawk was an aerobatic version of the Grumman F3F fighter and was flown by Al Williams in demonstrations for the Gulf Oil Comp to promote military aviation. Many thanks to the team at Aeroplane Heaven for their help in this project. These textures are for the Aeroplane Heaven Grumman F3F-2 only.

Hi Don, had it up once and it flew great, almost to pretty to fly though so I just sit and look at it now.

Got that one like stink on... well, I downloaded it immediately TDR.
I'm working on this one. What texture is for the prop hub? I know it must be in the texture folder. Need to work on some Alpha and Spec textures for this too. I did learn how to open the Shift-1 panel, but I have yet to learn how to release the bombs to fly it clean.

Believe it or not, I have most if not all of those already. I'd not seen the carrier from the Mustang Tales set and this seemed like a good opportunity. A recent loss of all my AICarriers formations caused by an ASN update means I'm having to rebuild them from scratch. I've also moved to the .net version and said a happy farewell to Java

I can't get rid of the bombs and it would seem that the pop-up should do this, however nothing I do removes the bombs. G'is us a clue
Left of the seat, two white knobs, one's attached to a 'gear lever' assembly which you can use to select bombs. The other knob (Might have to move the viewpoint a little to the left to see it properly) drops the selected bomb(s).
