...for a while.

This is slightly edited. I added some moonlight highlights on the T-45 and a slight lens flare to the landing light. Carrier by Javier Fernandez, T-45 by Dino Cattaneo, and moon by Roy Altholz.

.....how did you get all the trafffic on deck?
 
Jims is like that person in the steak house that just got the last cut of the best steak and is eating it slow and not finishing it while your mouth waters. lol
 
The deck traffic was already present. There are many deck configurations for the different conditional uses of the platform. For example there's a launch only configuration, a recovery config, the one in the pic is specifically T-45 Quals config, and all of these (and more) for the Nimitz and Ike. I also hear that there will be even more different configurations when it is released.

There are also configurations in battle group formations or alone, some with the plane guard out... looks to be an SH-60. It's a truly diverse package. I don't think I've tried all the configurations yet.

Shylock, are you going to eat that baked potato?:icon_lol:

@MenendezDiego: When I replayed the launch with FS Recorder as traffic, for some reason the cockpit lights didn't show. I'll see if I can splice something together.
 
That actually looks like the amber flight deck lights. This is really a work of art. If only we could simulate being on the ship in a combat zone at darken ship with all but the essential flight deck lights on. Was always the worst conditions to do maintenance in and having to use the red flash lights you couldn't see squat with.
