Started a thread purely for FSX Screenshots...

Just been trying out my newly made HMS Ocean and RFA Mounts Bay alongside Abacus Illustrious and MSPG HMS Daring. So now i have a fully working Amphibious Task Force whenever i want it.

I plan on making a few other ships, really want to do HMS Albion but its got a lot of nonsense on it to model. Anyway...

Trying out the task force........ for some reason my wake on Ocean was working and then disappeared! I noticed Illustrious' wake kept disappearing and reappearing too.

Abacus HMS Illustrious with three oddly shaped Merlins landing


HMS Ocean (my model) and RFA Mounts Bay (my model) being escorted by the "Red Crown" of the fleet, MSPG Sceneries HMS Daring on the port flank








RFA Mounts Bay




Onboard RFA Mounts Bay looking back at HMS Illustrious astern, HMS Ocean mid formation and HMS Daring on the port flank as escort.


Then off to Illustrious


Then to HMS Ocean




Would be fantastic with more helicopters on the decks (MP) but i don't think MP can happen with aicarriers.

One thing i did notice during the aicarriers missions i have flown on... the ships list and pitch up and down. I was on Mounts Bay and the front was going up and i started rolling backwards so had to apply the brakes. I looked to the side and HMS Oceans' bow went up atleast 10ft and then back down slightly under the water line by a few feet too. Watched Daring do the same.

First noticed it when i was doing replenishment on the US Carrier within the programme. So it seems the sea in FSX does simulate a somewhat crude effect.

Restauravia Caudron C450 and C460 at Reno. This very nice model can be found at Avsim






















Whilst at Reno I thought it would be rude not to try the course out

Bit more sensible flying now

It was going well until I got a BSOD!

Andy, I NEVER thought I would see the day, when you showed off UKMIL aircraft LOL. BTW, there is a V3 update for the Bucc with new lights and seats, and more weapons

Dave, I've no problems showing off models of the quality shown here! Now, where's that Jaguar eh?

Andy, the Jag is available, but only External at present as I have not done the VC

Is that to signed up members? Work has kindly blocked your site under "games" so I'll check when I'm home.

Just a few lonesome flights based on real world operational training areas (daily sorties)









And thought i'd replicate a photo setup i had one day









Real event

Olicat, great shots there! Where did you get the Sea Vixen, Prowler, SAAF Cheetah, and the SHAR?
