But is there progress on the earlier carriers that were supposed to be part of the Tomcat package?

From HB Facebook post, 2018:

"The mighty CV-59, Heatblur Forrestal Class carrier leaves drydock for the first time! While the art team begins the texturing process, we'll be bringing her systems and functionality online. The Heatblur F-14 project includes the free DCS addition of the Forrestal, Ranger, Saratoga and Independence Forrestal class carriers amongst other free included content!

Thanks, NC:encouragement:
 

**Small Update**

​Hi all,
Progress is being made by the team on our internal builds, some of the code for how objects interact with the deck had to be redone.

As soon as we do have a date we will let you all know, we are planning for sometime in May.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

"We have a new volunteer Closed Beta Test group that is now testing and running the SC through its paces, but when we have more solid news to share, we will share it with you all."
 
​tiny update from today’s newsletter…along with some new pics" We continue to develop and bug fix DCS: Supercarrier for an Early Access release later this month
and we hope to be providing a preview to our partners and social media channels next week

***Small Update from Russian Forums**
In Russian forum, USSR_Rik --

Quote:
One of the key problems of the new module is the players’ work “not according to the rules”. It’s good when everyone steers and flies as in life — that is, they are supposed to follow the rules of taxiing, work with their deck crew, take off, get in touch with the landing and withstand the landing and crew parameters.

But if the player does something wrong, to teach the AI ​​to resolve such situations turned out to be very difficult, although from a third perspective everything is simple and obvious. But the light at the end of the tunnel is already visible (and this is not an oncoming train).

So far the F-14 has been working very well with the SC in testing, both MP and SP, that said, there might be extra issues that need solving with it into Early Access. But it is much farther along then a month ago, for sure. Mostly its things like parking issues because of its size, or other size issues not seen with the smaller Hornet.
 

***Flash News***
Hi all

We are planning an open beta update for the 20th of May which will include the super carrier.

Thank you for your patience

It's out!:jump:

I just found it in my modules. Tried two simple launches and recoveries in the F-18. The crew animations are amazing! I love how you have to "salute" to launch and the instructions for proper hookup. Lots to investigate but the first feel is really good!

As a genuine carrier "nut" this is a long awaited dream for me...:wavey:

I still haven't taken the time to configure my controllers and successfully fly the Tomcat, let alone try carrier ops. Much as I'd like to have the Hornet (especially as I was with VFA-106 when they commissioned, 6 months before they received their 1st F/A-18D), I can't rationalize spending the cash on it right now. NC

Also, I do admit to being somewhat lazy, when it comes to flight simming. P3D is easier for me than DCS. Not as complex.

It takes some time indeed to configure and then learn to do even the basics in a DCS module. However, the satisfaction you get once things start working is massive. The Tomcat is amazing and so is this carrier. The animations of the deck crew are extremely natural. Combining "Jester's" chatter in the F-14 and following the launch and trapping instructions in the Supercarrier is a complete experience.

Finally, the modelling of the sea, waves and ship wakes in DCS is leaps and bounds ahead of even P3D v5. It is real 3d waves and wakes, not just textures pasted on top.

You have to give it some time and effort before starting to enjoy it.
