U.S. NAVY in COLOR Background UIRES set uploaded

[Captain Kurt]

A week or 2 away, a full color photo UIRES set for the US Navy.

I've been collecting WWII Navy color photos for the last year with this project in mind. Since I'm almost finished, I wanted to put a preview out.

[Rami]

Kurt,

Boy, talk about something that would be greatly appreciated and is badly needed. I can't wait...but take your time to finish it! :ernae: :medals:

[Worthless]

In a word "Superb".

[kwb737]

Perfect!!!!!

[bearcat241]

I've spent most of my CFS2 stick time in naval action over the years. I always thought Ajax's superb PTO URIES package was crème de la crème, but all i can say to this is...WOW !!!...and greatly appreciated. :icon29: :medals:

[Robert John]

Looks fantastic.

[SgtT]

Great job!

[Jagdflieger]

Wow!

Once again we are blessed with superlative and creative uploads by the truly skilled.

[Seagull V]

Looks great, any recommended historical movie clips to go with it to get away from those dreaded cartoons ?

I'm an Army puke but the PTO (naval missions) is near and dear to my heart. Looking forward to this one.

I´m an ETO fun but I enjoy a lot doing some carrier traps. I feel like a hook is growing under my Spit.

Thanks, Discus

Disc, the Seafire tail hook is already full grown....so perhaps more sea worthy maybe.:icon_lol:

Really outstanding! Nicely done, CAPT Kurt! :icon29:

[Cody Coyote]

Exceptional! Thanks! :salute:

[Captain Kurt]

Well thank you guys, that's pretty overwhelming. Let me get the set finished and posted though. Never know, you may not like to whole package. I'm traveling this week and won't be able to get back to the project until the weekend but I hope to get it sent in shortly thereafter.

[Captain Kurt]

Just uploaded it, so should be available shortly. I wanted to do a high quality background set for the U.S. Navy to replace the cartoon stock CFS2 UIRES screens. It's done almost 100% WWII period Kodachrome photos - the one exception is the captured screen. There are no color photos available for that one. Otherwise, the quality of the photos range from acceptable to astounding. Especially one photo I used for the mission loading screen which looks to be SBDs that are returning from the Battle of Midway, taken over the Midway lagoon. Notice the cowling ring dents and horizontal tail damage on aircraft number 5. The original photo is just titled "Midway".

Anyway, I hope you all will enjoy the game screen graphics upgrade.

Thanks CK it's a work of art. Rami - brush up on your carrier landings!

[Ghostrider]

Great job, CK - Don't take my Kodachrome! I will definitely put this to good use!

I attempted to dload however this is what occurs...

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(999) : eval()'d code on line 56"

Btw, thanks Capt, this looks great and I can't wait to install it all...

Beautiful work, CK! Now I can finally get rid of those awful stock cartoon uires.

[Worthless]

Thanks CK, I've got 'em and installed already. They look great. Big improvement.

[Captain Kurt]

Thanks to all of you who responded. I hope you all enjoy it for a long time to come. :USA-flag:

[Ghostrider]

Nice work, CK! One of my favorite addons ever - highly reccomend this to anyone remotely interested in USN aviation in CFS2. Very well done. Although B&W photography is the norm for the WWII timeframe, these color photos bring the reality home. This really happened.
