FSX Pilotable Aircraft Carrier HMS Queen Elisabeth II. This ship is a britisch project for the next years. It is supposed that the HMS QE2 will sail between 2014 and 2016. The detailed Ai-model is made by Lazarus Starkweather. My pilotable version provides a navigation bridge at the front island and a flight operation bridge at the rear island. I believe, it is a premiere at FSX, that together with the aircraft carrier a frigate in formation ahead is loaded using the VC-mode. Seven cameras allows you to explore the ship and you can set F-35 Joint Strike Fighters onto the flight deck or a Sea Lynx helicopter onto the elevator. VTOL and STOL takeoffs can be simulated with the F-35 in an external view or with the pilots view. Sounds and effects are included. Panel and configuration by Erwin Welker.

FS2004/FSX Curtiss P40 Tomahawk The Curtiss P-40 was undoubtedly one of the most controversial fighters to serve in quantity during the Second World War. It was praised and abused, lauded and vilified, but the fact remains that, as the first American single-seat fighter to be manufactured on a mass-production basis, it bore much of the brunt of the air warfare over several battle fronts. Its performance was inferior to the performances of the majority of its antagonists, but this shortcoming was partly compensated for by its tractability and its sturdiness which enabled it to withstand a considerable amount of punishment. It was amenable to adaptation and it was available when most sorely needed. GMAX model by A.F.Scrub
