Sea Hurricane Seafire?

Yup, had the same problem. I alway check what's running after a failure of some sort. I guess that's the Skysim Sea Vixen you're taking for a spin?

But I have adapted the Alphasim Vixen to FSX. Using the gauges of the Alphasim Sea Venom I'm almost there. Made a landing while testing!

I bought that version when it came out and for all it's faults.. I still loved it because I wanted a Sea Vixen that much!!! The flight model for the Demon isn't bad.. in fact I loaded it up yesterday for practise on Constellation so whatever you borrowed from it won't do the Alpha SV any harm;) As I remember.. there were rather more repaints done for the Alpha model than there were for the Skysim model (perhaps because there was actually a PK for the Alpha model!!!). A darned shame Skysim went under but with only 2 models on sale for the last 'X' years and no sign of anything new.. it's not a good recipe for success. It'd be nice if someone, somewhere at Skysim could sell the 2 models on to a third party for continued sale though I can't see that happening.

That would be great.......I'd by it immediately.

That's not too restrictive a view from the old Alpha model but I think they got it wrong in a number of areas. The centre pillar isn't a thick piece of metal with screws either side as they show there.. the glass is actually laminated on the centre join and bolted in place around the edges. It's not much but every little helps when you're trying to see a very small aircraft carrier! The default view out of the Skysim model is a bit less restrictive..

I think the bar Brian put down the centreline is probably a 'blind' runner.. the blind can be pulled up from around the base of the windshield.
EDIT: Having looked at this a little more, the centre spine is almost certainly the rain 'getridofer' (new word) which is on the outside. It looks really big on the outside but inside.. it's next to nothing and doesn't obstruct the field of vision.

You're giving yourself too much to aim at there Cees though there's nothing wrong with having as much to land on as possible!!:biggrin-new:

Here you go Cees.. lots of things to aim at but all markedly smaller than Nimitz!!

[formation.XX]
title=Korean TG
unit.0=USS_CV-21_Boxer, -400, 400
unit.1=USS_CV-45_Valley_Forge_1950, 400, 400
unit.2=HMS_Belfast_1950, 0, 1600
unit.3=USS_DD724_Laffey, 1200, 0
unit.4=HMS_Ocean_1950, 0, 0
unit.5=USS_DD777_Zellers, -1200, 0
unit.6=USS Mispillion AO-105 FX, 400, -400
unit.7=HMS_C_class_DD, -400, -400
unit.8=USS_DD774_Huge_W_Hadley, 0, -1200

Three carriers in the group so you can trap and launch going from one to the other. All the ships are available here or Simviation with the exception of the oiler Mispillion (which is just visible). This is a driveable version converted for AI. It's a tad heavy on FR's but is one of the few (perhaps the only) oilers of this period. The old Alpha Tigercat stands up quite well in FSX doesn't it.

Nice!

Put her down on something smaller!

Dave,

Where did you get the USS Mispillion? BTW: the Hadley didn't show up at first. It's 'Hugh' not 'Huge'. Took me a while :biggrin-new:.


Cees
 
Give me a second Cees and I'll upload it for you. Sorry about the typo.. I noticed that I had 2 Zellers and at the last minute.. changed it to Hadley.. obviously TOO fast!!

Two tics;)

HERE you go;)

I've left all the 'air' bits in there so you should be able to sail it too should you wish:encouragement:

Thanks Dave! Thanks for all the help and inspiration. Thanks to you I'm having a great time flying in FSX with trapping planes and tinkering with AIcarriers.

Think nothing of it mate;)

There are many very talented people residing here and I'm often humbled by the amount of knowledge and expertise they show. If I can help in some small way by pointing someone in the right direction or by offering advice.. I'm more than happy to do so.. especially when it comes to ships:encouragement:

It's not easy to find a 'live' version.. unless you're lucky!! Can't remember where I got it from in the end but I spent a lot of time bouncing from link to link to link:dizzy:

If I suffer a HD failure in future.. I know Cees has a copy now:biggrin-new:
