It's the carrier HMNZS Waikato - it's a real hoot!

You start from the hangar deck



I couldn't find my way out so I flew out through the opening in the side of the ship!. Next thing a flight of Hawks, I think it was, blasted by.



Looking back at the ship you can see clouds of steam rising, F15s doing circuits and a Harrier landing!



This is a closer shot of the main deck, with men and vehicles



Ah, almost forgot about the AWACS circling overhead....



and the heli that lands and takes off again!



Pity about the wakes - may need to see if the bmps can be cleaned up.




A lot of fun. The file's waikato1.zip

Amazing i going to try that!

Since when does the US Navy use sailboats in a battlegroup? Cut-backs? Must be scary for the enemy ...  ;D

Nice shots anyway, a lot of activity going on!

Obviously after paying for HMNZS Waikato they couldn't afford a proper escort.

He he

For New Zealand this probably IS a proper escort

Must say, all the folks from New Zealand can't have seen this yet....

Great stuff Roger, I've been meaning to install her for a while but to busy writing FDs for various projects
Think I'll go play tonight

That must have a fantastic effect on the frame rates.

Looks good though.

But where can you find it?
Cheers, sam

I know you can get versions for both fs02 and 04 at Avsim if it's not here.

For any developer/designer reading this, I can confirm that if you are NOT uploading at Simviation you're crazy.

From experience I KNOW that Simv gets MORE THAN TWICE the download numbers than other comparable so-called 'leading' flightsim sites

The proof of the pudding...blah ..blah

Didn't know there where free downloads on Avsim?
Sam

at the top. file library. but its crappy.
only repaints and AFCAD.
