USS Ronald Reagan update

[michael davies]

Just in case Y'all thought I'd dropped off the planet LOL, some WIPs of CVN-76, slow but steadily plodding along, currently well within projected poly limits thus far.

Hopefully I'll get the aircraft crane and bridge windows fleshed out tomorrow, then onto more railings :banghead:.

Couple of Max renders and an enviromental render for grins.

Wow! Looks great so far :ernae:
I have been on the Reagan...doing work down in the propulsion plant areas :d

[MCDesigns]

Wow, looking good Michael! :applause:

[Bone]

Can hardly wait for it to be finished.

:ernae: thanks for giving an update, puts a spring in my step, hope work continues smoothly

That is absolutely awesome. Right now the default one looks dead!! Take your time, the world needs a good MSFS carrier, and if we only get one, I want to buy it when it's right!!

Oh, it's just a steamer. How complicated can it be? :icon_lol:

Technically not very, take one big kettle ( Nuke reactor ) to make steam and blow that steam at a big windmill ( turbine ) attached to the prop shaft :mixedsmi:.

Excellentastic!:d:applause: Real looking Carriers are really needed!

[Navy Chief]

Outstanding, Michael!

One small observation from an old Chief, don't make the flight deck look too clean! Otherwise, Flight Deck Scrubdowns wouldn't be needed, and THAT would not be good!

Heh, heh.

Trust me, we can do without the scrubex's. :costumes:

[Navy Chief]

Ok, no problem. But leave the deck dirty as it always is! You know, tire marks, etc.....

Don't worry, I'll leave a bit of dirt for y'all to scrub up as and when you feel the need LOL.

Didn't get the crane done, all day on the windows, silly really, theres not that many of them, but there all funny angles and a bear to get looking just right.

Did another render scene for fun, really need to work out a nice top down water texture for some aerial renders, rather than loads of water level ones.

Awesome work Michael! A huge undertaking. I can hardly wait to see it finished with some paint on it and some fighters on the deck.

For FSx, its going to be a moving landable carrier with cat and trap facilities, there will also be a 1st person driveable one with camera views at the bridge, fan tail, LSO and cat launch areas so you can watch your friends cat and trap in multiplayer ( thats the theory anyway LOL ).
