Any British carrier for the Harrier ?

I assumed when I joined UKMIL as a member and got the email confirmation activated the account but it tells me when I try to download it is for members only ??? have I missed something, when I go to the site it shows me logged in as a member ???

UKMIL has an AI Ark Royal IV (R07). I believe it's a club member only file (not sure - haven't gotten around to d/l it yet).

Looks good, though!

Hi Rich,

I'm no expert, having only "signed on" to UKMIL a few weeks ago myself. My understanding is that there is a "basic" membership - free, like you'd see at flightsim.com, avsim.com, britsim, etc.; AND a lifetime "club" membership of 10GBP. When I searched that addon this morning, I too couldn't download it, inasmuch as I only had a "basic" membership.

Some, what they deem more desireable or current files, are "club" only, some more generic or older files are free. For example, that really nice Sea Vixen repaint to which I referred last week was freely downloadable. I'm bummed since that Ark looks grand - but funds are tapped at the moment, and I'll happily make do with what I have.

For what my opinion's worth, I'm not in the least bit offended with that kind of system. I appreciate that running servers and developing addons cost both money and time. I've gotten hours of enjoyment from countless freeware that when I can, I am happy to donate to outfits like SOH and UKMIL. The latter, unfortunately, will have to wait until next month.

UKMIL or others can set me straight if I've misunderstood the club system.

Since the OP specifically inquired about the Harrier, I suggested the R07 because that would be the most accurate for the Harrier, especially the later models that UKMIL is currently modelling. The R09 Ark Royal from Flying Stations was being decommissioned as the FRS1 was coming into the fleet, so it's not all that accurate for flying Harriers. Like flying F-14 Tomcats off the USS Oriskany, if you will ...

In the case of the Flying Stations Victorious, that was basically a full generation earlier still than the R09 Ark ...

That said, the R09 Ark is a magnificent piece of work - itching for the arrival of a particular bird, also in development with Flying Stations, the name of which harkens to a certain nefarious sea-going tradesman ... but I digress ... :running:

The Flying Stations Ark Royal is Ark Royal IV and is in the form she was when paid off, there was no ski jump modification, the first Harrier carrier was I think HMS Hermes that did have a added ski jump but no model available for FSX.

The UKMIL Ark Royal is Ark Royal V a completely different ship.

At fs.com... been around for a while, in FSX scenery, with a pleasant surprise in....

FSX native, with a nice, late Ark Royal (R07) for AI Carriers, working ski jump. Looks a treat steaming with Fearless and some Leanders!
 
I had this one on a couple of years ago but it did'nt work for me at around 2 miles range the superstructure lost its shape it all seemed to merge and did'nt look very good at all.

Matt, what are you seeing as a semi angled flight deck, it is a angled flight deck and as far as I know the worlds first unless that goes to another British carrier.

But the Ark Royal before the ski jump addition, semi-angled flight deck and all.

Rich,

It is the first angled deck, just a very mild angle is all. Wasn't nitpicking, just not very pronounced is all. I was a bit suprised after seeing how angled todays carriers are compared to the original.
 
When you compare the size of Ark with what you have in the US Navy Ark is close to half the size which is why it looks squeezed, it is I think 10 degrees on Ark.
 
Delta Lima, sorry got carried away, thanks for your input on the UKMIL setup seems I am a second class member.

All true, but it's free.
 
and so is ours, we do not charge for it, we charge to join our club where you get many extra downloads. So legally, the Ark is free.

Club members will also get pre-release download permission for our upcomnig harriers:salute:
 
Joining UKMIL is well worth the tenna that it cost as there are loads of great downloads, plus nearly all the best RAF repaints for various free and payware aircraft are done by UKMIL so they get my support for that! However I completely forgot about abacus strike fighters but does the CDG work in acceleration? I'm just thinking of reinstalling it for HMS illustrous!
