I'e askes this every few months and rarely get any results:
Does anone know of any post war Fleet Air Arm aircraft?
I realise there probably isn't anything I havn't seen but every now and then Something turns up out of no where.
*crosses fingers and throws salt over his shoulder*

Thanks Hawker, the Sea Fury oughta keep me busy for a while
Maybey I can get some people together to get a SeaVenom, SeaHawk and SeaVixen. Ah I'm probably dreaming..................

This any good? Available soon.


All new FSDS2 design for CFS2 with full breaking parts, shiny textures etc. etc.

I would also like to see some of those classic naval jets like the Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, Sea Vixen, Buccaneer & the mostly ignored Supermarine Scimitar. Also the Wyvern & Gannet.

Thanks Denis. Unless I'm mistaken the CFS/FS2002 version has only 4 aircraft, 2 for each sim - the Gannet & Sea Vixen. The full 30 aircraft package is FS98/CFS1 quality. Good value all the same.

Hagar old pal, that looks just the part. Can't wait to get hold of that. I guess it is part of your Korean campaign you metioned in brensec's Korean post?

what othe Campaigns were there?
Does the Suez crisis qualify as a comonwealth campaign?
and do you guys have a site or anything?

That'd be great mate, really lloking forward to the Vally Forge campaign. I've been waiting ages for an exuse to fly the panther more

Don't worry guys, I'll keep you posted. We will be interested in your opinions of our work. Our aircraft will be included in the campaign packages. I'm not sure they will be available separately.

Hi Will. I take it you're talking about payware. Alphasim very generously posted a lot of their older files as freeware, including a RN Phantom & Buccaneer. http://www.alphasim.co.uk/DL%20Freeware.htm These aren't the same quality as the proper CFS2/FS2002 stuff but they're worth checking out. There's also a very nice CFS2 (or FS2000) Buccaneer posted somewhere, maybe at SimV.

You can give any aircraft a virtual tailhook by adding the entry to Aircraft.cfg. This won't affect the visual model. Here's the entry from the CFS2 default Corsair which should do fine. You can adjust it to suit if you wish.

[TailHook]
tailhook_length=4                        ;(feet)
tailhook_position = -15.0, 0.0, -1.0            ;(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum
cable_force_adjust = 1.0

There's plenty of stuff out there if you look round. I found the FS2000 Buccaneer with a quick search. http://www.simviation.com/fs2000military16.htm Also a CFS2 RAF version by the same original designer. http://www.simviation.com/cfs2mod5.htm
I wouldn't mind betting the RN textures would fit. Add my CFG tweak & you have your RN Buccaneer.

Also plenty of FS2000 helos that work in CFS2. Some are a tad graphics intensive though. AI helos can be done but unless they're Gmax or FSDS2 models it's not worth it.

Not seen any myself, although I haven't looked too hard. There might be some posted on one of the squad sites. A lot of CFS2 carriers seem to be repainted defaults which naturally have straight decks. The only original angled deck carrier I can think of right now is the remarkable USS John C. Stennis.

Yeah I've got the Stennis and have praised it for well.......... forget how long I've had it. The Virtual USN did an post refit Oriskany, and the guy that did the Stennis did the Pricipe de Austious (Spanish flagship, kinda equal to Invincible class )
I've aso adapted an F-14 for use in CFS2 and have been flying it a lot lateley.
After about 30 mins the Stenis does a 180 turn, great fun landing on her during the turn 8).
