One thing other than having just is everyone also loaded with the same aircraft and everyone on a Team Speak channel, I currently own the NZFF channel so that is sorted - all you need is a desk mic or headset.Now I would seriously be interested in some of that!!!

Well, I am actually sailing it using a mod that made Javier's Nimitz pilotable. But to make a proper drivable carrier would require to make a proper VC for the carrier, which would require more time and detail and in financial terms would not be worth the time investment. Additionally, you'd have non-working catapults and FLOLS so we would have to provide a workaround on that as well.
On the other hand, using the aforementioned mod you can have a drivable Midway for FSX. If you combine it with RFN's FLOLS gauge and arrcab or something similar, you'll have a fully working drivable carrier. We cannot officially do and support that, though.

On another note, we're looking for photos of the flag bridge. If anyone can provide reference, please contact me via PM or at our Facebook page.

It's been a while since our last update.
We're busy integrating and repainting TacPack material on our aircraft. Because of this, creating more squadron liveries has taken a step back.
Additionally, Gary has confirmed his first Air to Air kill with the F-4B and it was done using an AIM-9B (yes, it can fire).
Here's a WIP photo of the wing tanks' new texture (WIP).
We will have some more news for you in the near future, regarding the F-4B's and USS Midway's progress as we're making strides.

The Blue Angels flew the J model, not the B.

Who cares? Even though I know that, I'm sure that since this is a fantasy flight simulator, the difference between the J and B is irrelevant.

Another pair of USN squadron repaints, VF-151 (USS Midway) and VF-96 (USS Enterprise):
Regarding the Blue Angels paint, it is true they flew the J model. We cannot promise that as we're focused on getting a good variety of F-4B schemes out as well as texturing the cockpit,which are our main priorities regarding graphics right now.

It is true, the Blues did fly the "J" model. When I was stationed at then NAS Miramar, I was volunteered to help load one of their smoke containers which is an AIM 7 converted to hold a paraffin-based oil that produces the white/yellow/red colors when they fly.

Thanks for responding. I completely understand your desire to focus on the B model attributes as they were IRL. I certainly wouldn't expect you to shift priorities away from that, and I put in a plug for the BA paint, because , well, why not. It would be nice to have if you ever get the spare time to do it.
I do realize the BA's didn't fly the B model, but, that shouldn't matter.

What you said!
Hello guys!
It's been a long time since we updated this thread, and it was time to post some new screenshots.
This time we're sharing with you a VF-151.
As all schemes have their own story, this one took us one step forward to know what was behind NF 213, I needed to find out which were the names of the Pilot and RIO written on the canopy. Doing some research landed at John Chesiere's website. A true amazing and interesting life story. He was really eager to share with us the info I needed, so I have nothing but thank words for him. Take a read at his page, it's a nice piece of story.
Enough talking, let's see what came out of it.
Hope you enjoyed these.
