USS Ranger (CV-4) was the first ship of the United States Navy to be designed and built from the keel up as an aircraft carrier. Ranger was a relatively small ship, closer in size and displacement to the first US carrier—Langley—than later ships. An island superstructure was not included in the original design, but was added after completion. Deemed too slow for use with the Pacific Fleet's carrier task forces against Japan, the ship spent most of World War II in the Atlantic Ocean where the German fleet was a weaker opposition. Ranger saw combat in that theatre and provided air support for Operation Torch. In October 1943, she fought in Operation Leader, air attacks on German shipping off Norway. The ship was sold for scrap in 1947.
This is not my model. Found it as freeware with permission to change and convert.
So i only did the convertion to fsx, give her a harddeck and arrestor cable, put the working barrier onto her and gave her a crew and deck layout. She will come in the next days as upload here together with some cruisiers and destroyers i also convert. Just a little bit of testing with her in fsx....
First shots....
Also in work to come within the next 2 weeks .... USS Saratoga (CV-3), USS Enterprise (CV-6) amd the USS Midway (CV-41) without angeld deck, as she was in the 1950th. Very fast workingtime for those ships because there are not many details to change. Just give some live to those ships.
