. Introduced in 1942, the Fletcher-Class destroyers quickly became the mainstay of the fleet. The Fletchers saw action at Guadalcanal and played a major role in almost every other Pacific battle. Destroyers performed convoy escort and anti-submaring warfare (ASW) duties. The Fletchers were also formed into destroyer squadrons (including the legendary DesRon 21) that purposely went "into harm's way". Following the War, Fletchers continued to serve for decades, serving in the Korea and Vietnam conflict. Some are still serving with foreign navies. Three Fletchers have been preserved on public display: The Sullivans (DD-537, located at), the Kidd (DD-661, located at Baton Rouge, Lousiana) and the Cassin Young (DD-793, located at Charlestown Navy Yard, Massachusetts next to the frigate USS Constitution).

THIS IS NOT A "DOWNLOAD & FLY" PACKAGE. SO PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THE DOCUMENTATION PROPERLY BEFORE YOU INSTALL & USE IT. I'M SURE IT WILL ANSWER MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS. Not every detail may be relevant for you, since there a lot of background info. During development of stuff like this, I learn a lot of peculiarities of FSX; and I tend to write them down in such a README, if only for my own memory :) So maybe it helps you to understand better how it all works. ==== intended for use with Bruce Fitzgerald's Space Shuttle Atlantis === *** To use this gaugeset for other aircraft , see Appendix-1 of the readme ***

FS2004 Dino Cattaneo's F-14 Update. (original here) Description: This is an update for Dino Cattaneo's F-14. I have changed all the light sizes, changed the position of a few of them, and deleted two lights. I changed the position of the wing tip contrails slightly. But mostly I have changed the flight dynamics. I think it flys more as it should now. Bob Chicilo. 112K 2nd Update. Description: This is an update for my update of Dino Cattaneo's F-14. I had to buy a new joystick recently and found that with the new Saitek stick there was too much aileron and elevator. This update is for any of you who found that the original udate had too much elevator force and, or, too much aileron force for easy flying. For those who did not download the previous update this one is all you need. 112K
