If this is for real it will be an immediate buy for me if released.
 
the essex is actually from FS-Shipyards by ron jeffers - it also includes some scenery versions of the carrier, as well as a torpedo run mission

Hornet is not an Essex carrier, or did I miss some thing fundemental here LOL ?, either way....carrier choice or not....looking a very exciting break through :applause::applause:.

I believe a similar thing was underway at A/S about 16 months ago but got dropped because of the standard
 
Michael,
There were two Hornet carriers. The one you are thinking of is CV-8 (Sunk during the Battle of Santa Cruz) which was a Yorktown class CV. The other Hornet ,refers to CV-12 which was an Essex class, named after CV-8.

The Hornet pictured above looks to be the Yorktown class version though, not Essex. Lack of twin 5 inch turrets, the bridge structure is definitely of the Yorktown class shape.

Shucks :redf:, your quite right, I cleanly forgot about CV 8 !!, too much time with the younger elements of the family ( parenthood ) LOL, or is that too much S African wine LOL.

The image above shows the earlier CV-8, not CV-12 hence my Essex questioning ?.

Ouch, now theres a product I'd forgotten about !! LOL, where did that F-18 go as well ?, didnt know the carrier package was passed by Alphasim due to standards....( insert opinions here )....quite how those standards are leveled at the current FSx carrier I dont know...suffice to say I'll have no party to it...if that counts for anything these days :isadizzy:.

Dare I say it, but it seems that the authors self esteem counts for more than the product these days in some quarters, if this product brings some form of combat to FSx....even simulated in a simulation then thats Alphasims loss IMHO.

The WW2 Hornet was a CV8 I think..Anyway this package will be for an Accell -Abacus- install addon -You must have Accelleration installed for sure. The Hornet will be an updated moving/trap landable with Accel arrestor wires..Also the plane (Hellcat) with 12 Hellcat formation (AI) planes with Accel droppable objects (Edited) Machinegun codes that include bullet hit water splashes and ground hit effects- and of course--you can hit AI zeros in flight--You must shoot down 5 zeros without being shot down yourself (You have 2 chances) and then you strafe a Japanese carrier to complete (Reward for ace) and then you can trap on the Hornet..Tons of (Fog of war) radio chatter drama music and Flak bombs with confuzion everywhere.. :isadizzy:
 
Hi Folks

Both Hornets were in WW2.

  • USS Hornet (CV-8), launched the Doolittle Raid in 1942, fought at the Battle of Midway, and was sunk at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October 1942
  • USS Hornet (CV-12) was originally named Kearsarge, but renamed in honor of CV-8 and active through the rest of World War II and is preserved as a museum ship in Alameda, California

Ron's original mission package is at - FS-Shipyards
Carrier - USS Hornet CV 8 - WWII - (Pilotable/AI/Mission/Landable) (FSX)

Vessel as per title. :icon_lol:


EDIT -
Ron,
I keep forgetting that "noshadez=Ron Jeffers" :costumes:
Great to hear you've got the traps sorted.
