Nope. Stock FSX. I had the camera slightly zoomed out, and then cropped the pics to get a less "perfect center" shot.

The second set I used "CTRL -" to bring the camera reall close to the plane, giving it that exaggerated CFS3 style perspective.
 
Great pics but looks like your grabing the 1 wire. Shoot for that OK, 3 score lol. Love the shots man look great.
 
Heres my attempt. I was tooling around with the SDK and figured it would look good to have some hornets parked on the deck. So I went with the "Traps only deck, no launches" look.
 
:wiggle:

Nice shylock,

You can create some pre-recorded flights with your heavy deck Traffic, using a little timing you can have them coming and going. Fun Stuff, almost have fun Little Deck Mission ready. Such a Trip trying to run a Carrier with mulitple traffic. Love the Hornet !!

Great Shots !! :friday:

I'm trying, but I consider it pretty lucky that I make the deck at all!

With the F-14, I'm having a little trouble finding the sweet spot in the throttle. I'm either slowing and falling like a rock or accelerating like a bat out of somewhere he doesn't want to be. The collimated HUD makes it a whole lot easier, though (especially with TrackIR). I just wish the F-18 had one!

Thanks for the compliments, guys!
 
Well in the one pic you had the doughnut on your AOA lit solid so thats a good thing. Yea throttle is pretty tricky. Just like flying tight formation theres not much of a sweet spot. Your always adjusting the power.

Edit: Maybe this can help you out a bit.

Same problem here..I find that Iris F-14 bleeds airspeed a bit too fast..
 
Did somebody say Carrier Ops?

Here are a few choice screen shots (saving my favorite for last ;) )

I really love the Alphasim F-4J exterior model. It is SUPERB!! Too bad the VC doesn't work in FSX, hopefully the A2A Phantom will take it's place :)

wow great shots. Nice job on the carrier break with the Hornets. That is I asume thats what your doing there. The Cat and Phantom look sweet. Great looking detail.:faint:
 
Thanks Shylock,

Yep, carrier break on the F-18D's. Here is another Phantom about to touch down, this time VF-84:ernae:
