• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A couple of things that we were working on...

...quietly.

The first is our ACLS which is very short for "Autoland". Our carrier tech has reached the point where we can now support such a system and it will be part of a big systems upgrade package for the Phantom. The ACLS has been modeled verbatim to the real thing so now we're completing the implementation by adding the relevant cockpit equipment. You can see a short teaser video here, showing the ACLS final approach in good weather: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-LCMS3iJQQ

We are working feverishly on our CVN-68 Nimitz and an escort package. The intention is to raise the bar compared to the Midway, while improving the model's efficiency. We are close to finishing the hangar model (which be walkable all the way back to the fan tail) and giving it a base color map. We will soon have a "previewable" version of the entire ship taking advantage of P3Dv4's features and will then move to work on the FSX version.

The Nimitz is not as important, though, as what we have in the bag for carrier ops fans.
