That's how I see it Cees:encouragement: Wonder if they'll sell Coral Sea/Midway as a separate entity? I positively refuse to by a non-RN Phantom but the ship is nice;)

They will do the Coral Sea for the owners of the Phantom first. The Coral Sea and the Midway can be bought seperately, apart from the Phantom and are part of a group of ships.

If you get THAT view of the ship somebody's SGLI (Servicemen's Group Life Insurance) is about to become payable to the named beneficiaries... namely yours! :biggrin-new: Notice the fantail watch has already left his station. Seriously, that is very nice modeling.

Midway there.
The last is a view you wouldn't normally want to see, but it does show the centreline marker rather well. Look at the attention to detail.

We're still late in releasing this boat, but think it's worth the delay. We're adding animated crew (and yet untextured as you've noticed) mostly as ambience, but also guys that are of some use to the plane. Can't say more at the moment but to add insult to injury:
 
I gotta say that I made a mental note when this project was first announced, but it kind of slipped my mind as time went by. I'm catching up on the progress with this thread and what a great release this is going to be! The F-4B is my main interest but all the extras that will be included will really round it out. Kudos and huzzahs to all involved for getting this "smoke and thunder" F-4 on deck! :applause::applause::applause: It is good to read of the progress you are making.

It is definitely going to be in my hangar for a long time.

There are animated crew all over the Midway.
There's even supposed to be one throwing up, but I haven't found him yet.....

Is the hook failing occasionally? I made three landings and somehow the cable wasn't grabbed, though nothing was wrong with the landing?

:dizzy:


Cees
 
Yes it does. It is an FSX bug that evaded us. The hook fails to stop you at low weights. Add this to your aircraft.cfg until the next release:

[TailHook]
tailhook_length = 6.792
tailhook_position = -18.108,0,-3.082
cable_force_adjust = 1.6

That's kinda ironic as most failed traps are due to being too heavy!! FSX still has some twists and turns:biggrin-new:

You know what I'm doing the next ten minutes!

Yes! That helped!:adoration:
 
Sorry, I am a known US NavAir freak and Phantom phanatic but I have stayed - somewhat deliberately and skeptically - under a rock while this has been gestating all this time. I have now some x '000 even more hours on the freeware AS F-4 in the meantime, but itchy to get into a quality payware native FSX Navy Phantom!

Is it soup yet? I mean is this still a beta or waiting for other bits, including that flat top that's supposed to come with it? Or bought separately? A little confused. There is another payware F-4 out there, but think it may be a USAF bird in F-4B/J drag (?).

Sorry to sound a bit of a spoiled sport but the trend in recent years has been to release payware in unfinished installments, i.e., no vc, etc, so when it has been in a thread like this spanning almost two years its hard to tell where things are.

Am a card ready buyer, er, when something is . . ready.
