Fix for the USS Constitution MDL. Accidently a copy of the crewman in the foryard appeared between fore- and mainmast. It seems the guy was hanged. Sorry for that deadly accident! Just replace or overwrite the Model folder. Erwin Welker

FSX package 18th century frigates USS Constitution and HMS Surprise. The Constitution entered service in 1798 and is worldwide the oldest warship still in service. She lays as restored in a museum in Boston/Mass, still representing the US Navy. In her first year she fought in the quasi war against French, from 1803 for some years in the mediterrean sea in the Barbary wars and 1812 in the Independece war against Britain. The British frigate HMS Surprise is included in this package as an ai-ship, together with the ai-Constitution. The pilotable USS Constitution is almost completely rigged with hundreds of ropes and has thirty eight animated guns, five replaceable animated sails and seven animated crewmen. Twenty three cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, the lower gun deck and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard and port seperately. The model should run in Acceleration but it is not tested. FSDS 3.5 model made by Erwin Welker

FSX Frigate HMS Surprise from the 18th century. This sailing ship is based on the former replic HMS Rose, built in 1970. For the movie "Master and commander", regarding Patrick O'Brian's famous novel, the boat was restorated to a historical replic of a british frigate of the 18th century. Surprise is now at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. The history of the real ship began 1794 as French sloop Unite, captured by the Brits two years later. Renamed 'Surprise', she served successfully until 1802. The Sim-model is almost complete rigged with hundreds of ropes and has fourteen animated guns, six animated stun sails and six unanimated crewmen. Twenty four cameras let you explore the whole ship: The deck, the lower gun deck and you can enjoy the sailors views from high above in the masts. The effects allows you to fire broadsides to starboard and port separately. The model should run in Acceleration and in FS2004 but it is not tested and not completely configured for FS2004.

HMS Eagle (R94) AI ship, by Usio no Ubuki. Eagle was converted from the incomplete Chilean battleship Almirante Cochrane, reconstruction starting in 1918. She emerged as a starboard island fleet carrier. With Eagle, the admiralty and the Fleet Air Arm developed the art of carrier flying into a science.

She was lost to U-71 on operation PEDESTAL, the convoy to Malta, 11 august, 1942.

Kitty Hawk Class moving aircraft carrier V1.75 New version of my Kitty Hawk class that fixes an FPS issue that many users were having. I also made a few other model updates and some other small things. Whole model included. If you do have the previous version, delete the previous version's boat folders before you install this file!

V2.25 BETA NEW! Better FPS by reducing amount of platforms, misc model corrections, reduced textures. The Forrestal class of carriers have been long overdue in FSX. No one seemed to have one in the works, and I wanted to toy with Google Sketchup to make models for missing things in my FSX world. This is an total update for my original upload. You do not need the original file. If you downloaded the previous version, PLEASE delete the boat folders. Requires AI Carriers
