Collin's new carrier now posted at the Shipyard. http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2shipyard.htm

...
...

HMS Furious was:
The first carrier to perform deck landings as well as takeoff's.
The first night takeoffs and landings.
While not the first carrier built or the first ship to fly aircraft, she set the standard for every carrier of all nationalities that followed up to the present day.


Try her in a mission with a WWI biplane for a new experience. (You will need one with folding wings to get the best out of it.}

More ships to come soon. Watch this space. Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

There's a net there to catch you. Keep the engine at a fast tickover to stop rolling back then fold the wings & taxi onto the fore takeoff deck. Try it with Stuart Green's Sopwith Cuckoo. Great fun. Wink
