The Dilemma......

'The Dilemma...'


The USS Enterprise CVN65, on manoeuvres a few hundred miles out of Pearl Harbour enters a strange weather anomaliy and finds itself transported back to 6th December 1941.


Buzzed by two unsuspecting Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Floatplanes the Captain has the Dilemma of a lifetime....launch the Alert 5 aircraft and shoot down the intruders, and launch a full on attack on the Japanese Fleet possibly preventing the US entry into WWII and maybe even wiping itself from existence, or let history take its course......

I found the Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Floatplane here at SimV, and its a CFS2 aircraft i modified to work in fs9.
The USS Enterprise CVN65 i think i also found here, cant recall ive had it for a while!
The Sky is FsSkyworld.
I used FsRecorder both to place the aircraft and get the shot, modifying the .cfg to remove all the messages on screen!

Yes i stole the idea from a film 8-) and yes the Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Floatplane didnt fly till sometime in 1942, but hey, artistic licence and what have you ;D


This contest theme posed some real problems for me as i just knew the beautiful water in FSX would outstrip anything that Fs9 can do, and although it may not be a factor i tried allsorts before settling on this!!!. I hope you enjoy ;)

Thanx for looking - and good luck all ;)

very nice shot, and as already stated, very nice composition too!!

I havent seen or heard of the film, but the story reminds me a bit of the misterious 'philledelphia project' from that eara...

damn that green fog!!

Not seen it? Its defo worth a watch, i got it off ebay for very few english pounds.

Its certainy no action-packed an-explosion-a-minute-type film but its one that makes you think. Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen, all filmed on the real Nimitz.

No CGI, no silly duplicate aircraft shots, no doing mach 2 with your hair on fire. Its worth it just to see the ship and the aircraft tbh! :)

Thanx for the commets though  ;)

Well at least you figured out how to appropriately use a carrier in a seaplane shot.

Sure love the theme, having seen The Final Countdown + being a recovering Trekkie.
