We've been working on this project for almost a year and after our texture artist has painted most of the ship we are ready to show you some previews of the beast!
The USS Nimitz is a highly detailed rendition of the real ship. It includes detailed walkable areas such as the catwalks, hangar deck, engine shop and fan tail. Performance is very good so far, but we will also provide a "light" version which will not include the hangar level.
Work is also going into our carrier tech which will get some important new features and upgrades, some of which will also benefit the Phantom & Midway. The carrier will feature animations such as animated arrestor cables, elevators, animated crew, parked aircraft (with a much improved system), customizable lighting, an improved interaction system and much more!
A P3Dv4 version featuring current and retro versions of the Nimitz will be released, including a Kaiser class replenishment oiler which has been kindly provided to us by Javier and we will update a bit to today's standards. Sister ships will follow as separate upgrade packs, each modeled with its own, unique intricacies and great attention to detail. A separate FSX version is under planning & consideration as well, but with certain v4 features not being available for that platform.
Lastly, the Nimitz is the first in a series of naval aviation projects planned and will serve as a tech demonstrator and stepping stone for cool things coming down the road.
