Naval Aviation Micro-Simulator Training Aid

[AviatorSMD]

Evidently, there is an add on for FS98 and FS200 that contains the T-34C, NAS Corpus Christi, NAS Whiting Field, and NAS Pensacola all to be used as an add-on for the primary stage of naval aviation training. However, I can't find this ANYWHERE! I have a picture of the CD rom, but still can't find it. If anyone has heard of this before, and better yet -- knows where to get it, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
Steve

Steve the only equivilant thing for FS2k2 is Flight Deck III by Abacus, that has the ArrCab program, which includes wires and NASs to practice with etc, as well as catapult launcher for carriers.
As for the T-34 have you searched the military downloads here? I think there is a model.

Steve, welcome;

There is a T-34, I found here for FS2000, but the panel uses FS98 gauges and causes problems with the sim. You can swap that out with an addon panel, though.

There's also a T-45 Goshawk that's super nice, and stable. Great for learning. The only software available, that I know of, is Flightdeck III.

You could, in the meantime use the default carriers. I like the one off San Diego, (Lindberg Field). It's got a working meatball.

Good luck!

Could you possibly pinpoint the T-34 and T-45 that you were talking about by giving me links? Theres quite a few out there.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Simply click on the Search link at the top of the page and type in "T-34".

You'll get:

Looking for the T-34 Mentor.

And if you type in "T-45, you get:

That's "T-45.zip".

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah. I forgot....

The T-45 has "Super Spoilers". You can hit the speed brakes and it will stop on a dime and give you 9 cents change! But, timing is EVERYTHING.

This is meant to stop you on the carrier deck, with out the use of Arrestor cables, and dates back to the days before we had such a program. This is what's now included in FDIII.

Launching from a carrier without any help requires you to line up on the cat and set flaps. Pause and go to Map View. Towards the bottom of the window is a space to key in your speed. Type in 150 kts. and then OK.

Be prepared to Rock and Roll, right now!!
It's kind of a primitive technique, but it worked with FS98 and FS2000.

Thanks a lot for those links... but one last thing. I looked for a decent T-34 panel and couldn't find anything. The search came up with many, many false results. If you could help me out one more time, I would be greatful. Thanks!

[fisharno]

Yup!
I remember I couldn't find one either. Your best bet would be to cruise through the Panels catagory and find something that suits your taste in a single engine prop panel.

Good luck.  :D
