Thanks for the hint, downloading right now.....

Wow, this is just absolutely stunning.  I wasn't absolutely sold on his T-45, but this is absolutely marvelous.  Couple thoughts though:

1. I'm not able to work teh wing sweep.  Anyone else figure this out?  I see th wing sweep control next to the throttles, but I don't get any mouse click points to either open the guard or to move the sweep control itself (not terribly important, but would be nice to "store" her on the deck).  Perhaps this is one of those things that Dino mentioned as being still worked on.

2. Love the option of making the JDAMs appearing, but somehow it would seem more fitting for these to be LGB's given the ATFLIR.  I guess this is just personal taste, but I always thought Tomcats looked kind of ugly with JDAMs.

3. Absolutely need a Jolly Rogers repaint !.

4. More of a question, but it seems she flies the approach around 115-120 kts.  Is this accurate?  From what I've read on Dino's page, he's paid a lot of attention to accurate speeds.  However, this is just quite a bit slower than I expected.

Regardless, this is awesome.

Close, it's the white handle there that has the words Sweep, Radar Mode ,& Mic.

That whole handle get's grabbed & dragged.

Interesting.  I had thought that was the right engine's throttle, but gave it a try anyway.  Indeed, that's all it did was power up the right engine.  Didn't do anything with the wing sweep.

Ah, it might be,

from the read me: Wing sweep is controlled automatically.


So if it is a throttle, then that would make sense why the wings swept when I move it.

That'll teach me to read the manual.  I was trying to sweep the wings on the ground and saw Dino had a picture on his blog with it that way.  Figured it would be controlled by the wing sweep, but right in the manual it says "oversweep condition" is set by the wing fold command.

I haven't found any issues with the plane, but all I've done is flown it around just playing with it. It looks and flies great though, I love it. His T-45 is also just as good. I just got that and am thrilled to have these 2 new planes in my hangar

I don't really like the automatic sweep function. It sweeps back when I accelerate, but not when cruising. It isn't supposed to be like that, is it?

No, it's not.  The sweep function should be primarily speed based.  However, in the readme file he addresses some finishing work that is remaining for the sweep functions.  Perhaps this will change.

I know this isn't an AICarriers thread, but after pressing shift+u and shift+i on the the carrier for the launch, how do I release the takeoff assist in order to take off?

Shift + Space Bar
