Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Night traps are a real challenge. Day traps can be tricky, but night ops are a different animal. USN pilots readily admit how their heart races during a night trap. NC
as in my sig......
Three great things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time

It's a lot of fun scaring yourself behind the boat! My "virtual" LSO routinely dives for the nets when I "call the ball"!
TacPac also has a pitching deck option now.
I've heard night traps, especially in poor weather, described as placing a postage stamp, adhesive side up, in the middle of a dark room. Get a running start, leap forward, stick out your tongue and if you lick the stamp you successfully trapped.
I tried carrier ops in Combat Flight Simulator 2... pretty sure the LSO was intentionally trying to kill me.
I did learn how to do it in IL2 Sturmovik: 1946 and with the F4U Corsair! The arresting cables in that sim were incredibly and unrealistically elastic.
My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
Expat,
Glad to see you are enjoying the Banshee. If I get time I'll start working on the dash 3.
(OT...BTW...I posted an update for the TSR.2 FDE Check the threads)
That's a real nice carrier #45. Whose is it and where can I get one?
Yeah, since your FDE redux I can't stay out of the Banshee and Korea ops. Many thanks again for your fine work on this.That's a real nice carrier #45. Whose is it and where can I get one?
Carrier is an FSX convert by Lazarus (thanks Laz!) of Collin G's CFS2 Valley Forge. Also one for CV-21 Boxer here at the SOH

I did an FS Paint mash up of the brown deck from the escort carrier USS Sicily (also here) but it is still a WIP. Deck colors of Essex boats from late WWII through Korea are weird. They are teak wood, stained blue, but the brownish red wood color then bleeds through to varying degrees over time.

Last OT...let me know if you're in the market for an A-1J FDE update
Oh, that would be good! Tim's A-1 still is not as good as it could be.

the carrier thing never occured to me when i read the title. i expected to see something like this
Whazzat, a Muskrat?!

I have actually broken out into a sweat, doing night ops. The mind can do strange things, even though it is simulation! NC
