As for carrier ops: What would also be really slick would be to set up the sim to operate the ship (as would another aircraft being operated for formation flight etc.)
I attended a Navy League meeting not long ago where some folks from the California Maritime Academy gave a presentation where the ship sim that they use was discussed. Apparently it models the ship handling well for various size ships. Gives them a chance to see how the ships actually will respond to helm and engine commands. Could be that a carrier could be modeled in flightgear. I'm going to see if I can contact someone in the sim department there to see what (if anything) I can find out about their operation. (Perhaps flightgear can do an entire task force <grin>!) Of course I'd like to see the OLD U.S.S. Hornet (CVA 12) modeled, as that was the ship I operated from on her last cruise as a CVA! jj _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
