Nice work:

To be perfectly correct, she is USS GERALD R. FORD (CVN78) in the Naval Register.

Awesome work bud, looking good so far, keep going !

Adding some static models on the deck, pending change the scheme of the aircrafts

Incredible work so far nice details.

Jerald R Ford served with distinction as a Junior Naval Officer in WWII. I have a book of photographs compiled from a group of photographers created by Edward Stichen to travel with the Fast Carriers in the Pacific. Published in the 50's or before, some of the photos in that book hang in MOMA in NYC. Aboard Monterey the fwd elevator is down and they are playing basketball. The sailor jumping for the ball is identified as Lt Jerald Ford! He is noted in spending a lot of the time during Halsey's Typhoon helping to conn the ship, which survived the storm which caused as much damage to the fleet as a major battle.

Glad to see this ship coming along! Carriers are where flt sim really meets the fleet!

Thanks for sharing , when i finish the model i will inform you

[CIMOGT]

I add some lights to the model with individual control, runway lights, perimeter, island and 78 number on the island

Great work as always !

[tgycgijoes]

All I can say is WOW! This looks awesome. When it's finished would you be able to do this good a job of the USS America CVA-66? There IS one out there and its nice but not as detailed and all as this or Javier's Nimitz carriers. I would sure love to have my old carrier especially since CCP is now working perfectly thanks to Motus and his dedication.

thanks for the idea, at this moment I have pending in the Karel Doorman and the escort frigates for the invincible class, the next will be the USS America, I am usually alternating in 2 or 3 projects at the same time

[tgycgijoes]

That is great! I will subscribe to the thread so I'm up to date. :encouragement:

[CIMOGT]

For the air wing F-35 and FA/18 ? i´m not sure yet

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=60942&stc=1

[awstub]

Both? :biggrin:

[PhantomTweak]

Great looking Ship, CIMOGT! The lighting is fantastic.

My oldest daughter is a Plank Holder on that boat. Stationed "aboard" her before she even started her sea trials. Spent almost her entire career aboard.

Keep up the good work!

[stearmandriver]

Man this looks good!

Almost ready for BETA test, maybe only add more reflectors in the stern and other parts

The United States Navy Virtual Aviation (USNVA) would love to help beta test this magnificent Carrier,if possible:applause:

I will send you a PM when the models is ready to test, i think this week

Thank you, really looking forward to your creation we’ll put her through her paces

[CIMOGT]

Someone will have information about the squadrons that will be embarked, to start with the repaints

[PhantomP]

I would also like to test out the USS Gerald Ford for you CIMOGT.

[tgycgijoes]

If you want to send me a copy by PM I will install and test it out in Carrier Convoy Planner for FSX@War. I am finally having great success with it. I even have a 5 day deployment worked out from NS San Diego to NS Pearl Harbor. Maybe a good test for the Ford...shakedown cruise like RL.

[CIMOGT]

Pending all F/a18 repaints and correct other textures like the glass on the f-35 cockpit

[tgycgijoes]

Will you have different deck configs like Javier's Nimitz with empty deck; launch and recovery? Or ability to remove static aircraft for an empty deck?

[CIMOGT]

Whit the control panel can be configured in the desire mode, i include more aircraft on the deck to expand the possibilities of the configuration

Whenever you're ready for me to test it in CCP (if you want me to) let me know in a PM. :encouragement:

Same here, i’ll add it to my tacpac ships and CCP

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=61308&stc=1I think your Arresting gear wires are a tad off. There are only 3 used on the Ford class. The furthest sheaves are used for the Barricade. Also, your one wire is too far aft! The LSO Platform IRL is at Flight Deck level. Just an observation!

This sure looks promising, keep up the good work, keep showing progress pics and info, looking forward to this carrier.

[CIMOGT]

This is the first test of the control panel gauge, i add this configurations

SAR Helicopter
Crowded deck 1
Crowded deck 2
Crowded deck 3
Crowded deck 4
Launch
Recovery
Clean

All with different aircraft configuration on the deck, the mdl of the model has a size of 16 mb and runs well, i hope this week i can send the model to the BETA TESTERS, the firts models of the aircraft carrier without the USNS YUKON and the others components of the aircraft carrier group that i want to include

Recommend that you lower it in the water. Even when surfaced, they were not this high out of the water. Google for photos and you'll see what I am recommending. Really looking forward this your work,

Bill is correct. Underway, a sub of this type would have no more freeboard than what you show at the 30 sec mark in your video.

[CIMOGT]

I finish with the models only pending installation manual which I hope to finish this week

[CIMOGT]

hello everyone

There will be, some interested in helping me with the textures of the static models of the airwing in the aircraft carrier, please send me a PM, because due my work i do not have enought time to do it and also to finish the installation manual

Walter

[tgycgijoes]

I am going to try and help with repainting the static airwing aircraft for this project. Just PM'd Walter. Currently there are NO F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters actively deployed in any of the Navy's CVWs but Navy pilots are currently training at Eglin AFB and NAS Lemoore on the West Coast for possible transition beginning in February 2019 for integration beginning in 2020. All current airwings contain F/A 18's as front line fighter aircraft. Gerald Ford has done 400 hours + testing with the Super Hornets from CVW 3 and CVW 8 according to Navy sources.

[CIMOGT]

thanks i send you a PM

[tgycgijoes]

I had a chance to look at the airwing textures but couldn't help him out. I would ask that someone who is an experienced repainter get in touch with CIMOGT and have him send you the airwing by PM to help him finish up the Ford with the static aircraft available to be placed on deck.

TEXTURE ADVANCE

This weekend i advance a little with the textures of the air wing in the carrier deck

Coming along very nicely!

I like that there’s some older C model Hornets included in the Air Wing. The vertical stabilizers look like they’re canted downward too far, whereas those on the E model Hornets look right.

Thanks for the updates - much appreciated.
