Bloody beautiful shots.

I see you are using the Finnish Hornet model there, I assume that was so that you got the folding wings. Did you realise that they have a flare/chaff launcher on the bottom of both intakes?

@ djnocturnal : Yes, I did, but, I used it in the photoshop, not the bloom plugin. Just want to try the bloom from photoshop :D

@ Nick : Yes, I used the Finnish Hornets, because it's folding wings. Yeah, I noticed it too, I thought I'll wait for another package to come with US C model with folding wings, but the finnish's is not really bad, so I decided to use it. 8)

@ james84 : Well, maybe, but you can ask Mike if you wanna know. :D

Really stunning shots.
I assume the A-6 and S-3 are from the Alphasim Enterprise.

Would you share the AFCAD and traffic files for this setup or is this part of an upcoming package?

Thanks! And yes, I used them from Enterprise. Hmm, well, this isn't the upcoming package. I want to share it but there still some problem with it because I'm not very mastered the AFCAD Tool. First, I don't know how to make them take off from the catapult, or maybe make them take off from 2 catapults, they always take off from the landing zone (arrester zone) Second, when they're lining up the runway, the always stop at the same spot at holding spot. Third, this AFCAD is super fresh from modification from the carr2006.zip (personal use only), so I haven't modify the other carrier. Do you want it anyway?

Thanks for your reply. Take your time to finish the AFCAD file. I had already considered modifying a carrier AFCAD myself when the Finnish Hornet's package came out but I did not take the time yet.

You might want to have a look at the AFCADs I did for the Ark Royal scenery (royal_navy_ai_traffic_package.zip at AVSIM or flightsim.com).
I placed a second runway taxi link to make the AI aircraft take off from the catapult.
For the Ark Royal this works most of the time but a few aircraft still use the other runway and take off from the arrestor zone.
I also did not connect all parking spots with the runways so these unconnected spots will be used for "static" aircraft only. The few connected parking spots are for the AI aircraft that will fly. So you can easily control where the "flying" AI aircraft will park and which route they will take to the runway. Take care with the parking codes to place static and flying aircraft on their intended positions.

Looking forward.
Hartwig

Very well then, maybe I just have to download your ark royal AFCAD first, maybe I can learn from your AFCAD. Thank you very much sir.

Thanks! Actually, I won't release this, because I modify it for my use only and without permission from the author.
