I think I am right in saying that the Paul Clawson Saratoga, or maybe Lexington, from FS9, works or has been adapted for FSX, and includes instructions on how to move it to a new location.

Aha!!! A reason to drag out the AH Pumpkin! As if a reason was needed :icon_lol:.

EDIT: Never tried it in FSX, wonder if it works.... Hmmmm.

After all these years, I still think of Avalon Hill rather than Aeroplane Heaven when I see AH!

LOL, packed away amongst some of my junk are copies of Afrika Korps, 1914 and Bismarck.

Mine are U Boat and B17, Queen of the Skies.

I believe it was Paul, my memory is shot because of my stroke, but he was making an Essex class carrier that was unbelievable. I've stood where this screen shot shows on my Carrier and he was dead on. I don't know if he ever finished it for FS9 or not but what he had done was awe inspiring.

I am sad to say the model you show is not mine. I may be wrong but I believe it was being done by Michael Davies.

Correct, still picking away at the Vietnam SCB125 variant as and when the mood takes, should really go back to the others and apply some paint but that means mapping and I loath maping LOL.

Hi Michael!
Glad to see this angle deck version of the Essex class!! It remind me that I have a nice Navy Fighter in my folders that should fit perfectly to this carrier... :icon_lol:

Regarding the mapping, I whish I could offer you my help but... not on mapping...my nightmare too!! (lol)

Michael, you have GOT to finish that carrier! :icon_lol: Beautiful job so far. With a few small variations it could be Hancock or Oriskany or any of the other 27-Charlie carriers from the Vietnam era.

Not Oriskany I'm afraid, thats a 27A, the fundamental difference between the C and A is the location of the aft starboard elevator, the C model is further back with a long fillet at the leading edge to blend the deck in and the aircraft handling drane is fwd of the elevator, on the A model the elevator is further forward, the crane aft of the elevator and much mush smaller fillets to blend in with the main deck. I did begin to start a A model but its a long way off anything worth looking at, actually so is the C. I also fleshed out some low poly Crusaders as AI or deck scenery, they might be an exercise to get back into things, some decent low poly USN AI models A-4, F-8, RA-5 etc?.

Mike, sorry to see that your wasting your time doing a angled deck Essex class. They turned a truly beautiful ship and turned it into a lopsided, crazy looking, abortion. God, they were bad enough when you had 60 foot seas. I don't know how these ridiculous looking kayaks would fare. Wait until they go up into the Arctic and start collecting ice top side. I'd make damn sure where my life boat station was.
Please go back to the straight deck Essex class carrier, everyone knows and loves.

Nah - - - do 'em both!! PLEASE!! Desperate for a Nam carrier, particularly the Essex class.
