For some reason, the Readme doesn't show up in the Simmarket version.

To fold the wings, drop the hook, and use the chocks, the info is in the Seafire Manual if you haven't had a chance to read it yet.

She's a beauty. And the carriers are a lot of fun. Appreciate the excellent documentation of how to use Kinetic Assistant with them! And the inclusion of the Mk.1b was a nice bonus.

It's nice to have accompanying carriers. Would have been great if these were moving...

Agree completely. This was tried, including having the carriers pitch and roll according to winds, plus turn automatically into the wind, and while that all worked, it turns out that you lose the ability to have a land-able surface. The main sim benefit with moveable carriers goes to those later ones with angled decks, as it takes a little extra skill to get lined up correctly while your runway is moving sideways on you.

These look amazing! How do the compare against the FI Mk.9?

 

[Cees Donker]

I don't compare developers, but almost all Flight Replicas products are an instant buy for me.

Good to know, but a little disappointing, as they got that working on FSX/P3D, you would have thought Asobo would get that working when they did the top gun pack. That extra 20-30 knots of wind from the moving ship was significant when landing on a carrier.

Which is why the instructions recommend setting up custom winds down the deck. It's easy, takes a little effort, but the experience becomes as close as it can to reality. Gives you some nice waves, too.
