Great shots! The first two are my favorites, have yet to land a Grumman S2F-3 on an Aircraft Carrier successfully. Well done.

I'm going to try that Grumman too....
Good shots.

Edit. No sound folder in the download!
Do you have a good one?

Wonderful set Chuck...well done...

Tracker shots are greatly appreciated...

Many many years ago I had the chance to fly in the Tracker out of a fixed base.

The pilot was a friend of mine so we got to do several touch and goes off a hard surface runway.

I can tell you right now the Tracker is all engines, powerful and very maneuverable.

With bubble side windows in the front office the view is stunning.

I did learn a couple of things from my friend:

(1) The Canadian Tracker differed from the American
      Tracker by being a foot shorter to fit in the
      hangar deck.

(2)  The American Pilots would not land on the Canadian
       Carriers as they said they were to small...yet we all
       flew many of the same type...

I will tell you another story sometime about the Navy Hawker Sea Fury being able to climb to a given altitude beating out many jets at that time.

Those Navy lads cost me a few beers a couple of times...

Again well done on the shots Chuck...sorry to get so long winded again...

Great looking shots. I like them all.

Thanks, guys 8-)

@Doug........as always, thanks for the info and the story

@Bass........for lack of a better idea, I used the default Grumman Goose sound :-/

@TooTall........My first attempt at landing the Tracker on a carrier was a disaster. My approach was way off and I decided to wave off.......well, the hook hangs quite a way below the wheels and WILL grab the cable regardless of whether the wheels are on the deck or not. So, be very careful when boltering, the hook doesn't know it isn't supposed to catch the cable

And The author of the 180 is working on hi res cockpit textures so the quality will match the exterior 8-)

The first and last shots are stunning  8-)
I love that Tracker, and the comments above about the HD textures for the VC is the best news of the day  8-)

Here you can get the same plane with an authentic sound package.
