Cruise Mode en route to the carrier USS Enterprise off the coast of Puerto Rico:

Light 'em up!

There's the Enterprise, turning downwind for the approach:

On Final:

Touch Down, Good Trap on the #2 wire:

On the catapult:

Up, Up, and Away!

And of course, the obligatory high speed pass!

Astoroth, I want the same water textures you have. What do you use?

 

[PhantomP]

yeah those warter textures are nice what gives?

 

[Astoroth]

Hi Guys,

I use the payware Zinertek Ultimate Water Advanced. Best water I've seen so far, and I've tried them all I think.

There are 2 sets included, Real, and Photoreal. I prefer the Real set, the Photoreal set to me had too much reflection.

Pretty reasonable price at Simmarket:

Astoroth, thanks for the link. I'm definitely getting that water package.

 

[Bone]

Yeah, awesome water!

I don't think I have been able to get that level of quality with Real Environment Xtreme.

 

[Bushpounder]

Great pictures! I sure miss the Tomcats.

I do too, Don, they're still my favorite carrier aircraft. Sexy!

I was always a hard-core F-8 Crusader guy but I developed a real affection for the F-14's during the four years I spent around them. IMHO they were retired before their time.

 

[awj112]

Agreed, they were. It's always sad when political considerations and or budget kills an aircraft.
