Awesome! Keep up the good work Wink

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

That is great. I always wondered why no one had ever done CV1 before (as far as I know). Thanks for making this historical ship available.

Thank Lover !
I'm very happy to hear this !
Do you have take the "Jenny" model as template ?
the "Jenny" engine and wing are similar only the fuselage need more modification + the performance of both plane are very similar
If you need some help reply here.

I have try some landing whit the "Jenny" just for the fun

Let me said that its not so easy to land a "Jenny" whit the wind on the deck at sea.
Also it will be very fun to fly from the Yorktown navy field to the USS Langley at cap Henry specially on board the Aero marine 39B
I have made the trip (60 nautical miles) from the Yorktown navy field to the USS Langley at cap henry and I have find some very interesting point in way to cap Henry. but I can't tell you more its a surprise. thank lover for your help !

If you check some Langley video you will see what I mean he he !

Does somebody want to made the Yorktown navy field airport?. There only 4 building and a grass field to do.

I have some Boolean operation hull windows smoothing problem and also some blurred texture on the deck.

If some one have some trick for this problem please email me.

Aeromarine 39b was near finition Cool

I have decide to do it by my self (sorry lover maybe an other time),
It will be fully landable on the Uss langley whit is animated hook

98% of the texture was done
Have some trouble whit the rudder and elevator animation in fsx but I think I will be able to solve this quicly?

I have also to adjust some cockpit wall. and it will be ready whit the USS langley and the mission to be shipped at simviation.
