It'll be available soon - Ian has the beta version that I asked him to test for me. Based on Ian's feedback and some photos I received I have redesigned the island and the skyhawk models. Still got problems with the cats and traps that i'm hoping to have ironed out soon. Juggling my time between USS Oriskany, HMS Ark Royal V and HMS Queen Elizabeth.

Love it! I've seen many of the ATSI A-4s during visits to Phoenix.

Boeing contracted out their TA-4s as chase planes for the KC-767 and I got to see/photograph them there too. On one of the last tests, ATSI flew out A-4N N269WL to fly with N250WL (TA-4J). Here is a photo below. Would you consider doing that also?

Great work!

Thanks,
Jeff

There is also a "brt_spec" file. Both are in the "shared" folder. In the case of the RAN aircraft there is a spec file for the wings (keeps the walkway area matt) in their individual folders. I think the Blue Angel has a glossy finish built into the model.

Hope this helps.
