Victorious 1966

Thanks Phil... another masterpiece. The Sea Vixen on deck is a beauty... got any plans to develop her into a fully fledged flying model? The best Sea Vixen that's available currently for FSX (as far as I'm aware) is the Skysim one, but unfortunately its a port over so has the usual issues and limitations.

I'd also like to see a native Sea Vixen, although at this stage I'd be happiest if it were Prapar3D native, making use of all that is available in that sim (i.e. with the new radar functions etc.). On that note I'd love to see a fully functional "coal hole" for the Observer.

Anyway, back to the '66 Vic... lovely shots above. Is that a Whitby or Rothsay class frigate I spy on plane guard duty?! I note there appears to be a Leander class frigate in one of your shots over at Flying Stations.

It's quite likely that the static and AI aircraft there aren't native FSX/P3D versions of will be our next two projects once the Firefly is done.
 
Great news Phil. The Firefly is looking mighty fine so look forward to that's release too.

?? Never noticed any problems. What are they? The Skysim plane is a beauty. Monsterous sound!
 
It is a nice model... but the canopy glass against clouds don't look great on my set up, and I was just thinking an FSX native model would have bump maps which I like.

Admins, can we get a sticky on this please?

Skippy & Sketchy,

I have recorded a few pieces with the new 64/66 Victorious and will get it together for a video over the next day or so.

It looks simply magnificent!

You are welcome Storm, looking forward to your video.

Thanks Skip, Fras, and gang!

This release so made my day.

Here's a few shots ...

Simply superb, your best boat yet. The plane-guard helo is such a nice touch, as are the escorts.

Nice video and nice screenies DL.

Have been enjoying the last Vic edition. This last in the series looks great. My weapon of choice however is the Sea Vixen. Have the AS Scimitar - bit of a handful - and the freeware (UKMIL??) Bucc but that a bit too much hard work for me! It does, indeed, sink like a "brick" if you aren't paying attention for the smallest time.

Also, having a bit of a USN/USMC carrier op revival with the release of Gary's Midway and also following the unrep thread. With escort ships, oilers, plane guards etc you can get some really good atmosphere, particularly with dawn or dusk settings.

QUESTION: asked the navy vets here this before and think they said the plane guards hovered on the starboard, not the port side of the boat? Anyone have some correct coordinates for this?
