Yet another CVL in the works

Looks like the virtual FSX ocean is going to have it's fill of CVL's

I was going to wait until the animated LSO was finished, but with the release of Alberto Garcia's CVL 28, I thought I should put up some WIP images of our own CVL, the USS Monterey CVL-26, which was used as a training carrier in the Gulf of Mexico during the 1950's.

This model will have a lot less detail than Alberto's model. It's primary goal is to provide a carrier for landing our tail hook equiped SNJ. There will be a player controlled version and an AI version.

One screenshot shows our AT-6D during an early test. Even without tailhook or arresting cables modeled, it was pretty easy to land and take-off when the ship was following a recorder module "flight."

On the player controlled version the LSO will have animations so that he can give some basic signals to the planes as they come aboard.

It is great to see all of these WWII carriers. We now have/will have CVE, CVL, and CV options.
