The plane is great, but it isn't that easy. Unfortunately, the torpedo flies through the Fairey Swordfish propeller. Its motor works both in the air and in the water, forcing torpedo to move forward like a rocket immediately after launch. https://imageup.ru/img89/3767344/swordfish_01.jpg But torpedo...

Great video and great simulation, Rakom. The underwater views are quite appropriate in this situation and magnify the drama. I have the same doubts you do. I have plenty of models intended for Ilan's "NG world", but you are right, some of them should already be published to enjoy life in c...

By the way, rakom, elliot1396's link to Ilan's Virtual Sailor NG video might prompt an answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB4mn8Fehtc Cruiser follows the water surface pretty good even on a big wave. Did you try to place it somwhere nearby the life raft and compare. Maybe we should wait for NG?...

I'm sorry to interrupt, but your words touch every heart strings, Sailorjohn, not only navy seal or postman.

...it is just that kind of mood.

...except for the film director. My successfull transition from horizontal flight to hovering and vertical landing does not exceed 1 to 10 shot. :oops: Real Alia vertical takeoff and landing come little bit later, probably within just a few month. Note that the top rotors of VSF Alia are already ins...

Alia-250 in Micro Flight



and in Fire Flight

On March 17, 2021 Beta Technologies’ eVTOL Alia-250 prototype made a flight from its primary test location in Plattsburgh, New York, across Lake Champlain to the company’s headquarters in nearby Burlington, Vermont. Soon thereafter Alia-250 model took off in Vehicle Simulator. Since they were horiso...

BETA Technologies’ manned electric aircraft receives military airworthiness approval from US Air Forces.

Elegant Alia-250 electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft lands on the USS Nimits.

All the above entails a further additional suggestion: hook and cable should be separated. And it's not the only solution... This doesn't look like catapult and is more appropriate for jet-assisted take-off, but additional powerfull engine with few seconds of fuel works perfectly and does not have r...

The mass and cable force of towing vehicle seem to matter. Both of them should be high enough. But cable force of the catapult and therefore of the vehicle towing backwards should not be too high. Even park brake with enormous [gear_max_kf] is unable to keep the plane on its place. The plane starts ...

It is my dream and it already works. The plane can be attached to the hook point of the carrier, then cable is streched out either by own reverser thrust or by another powerfull vehicle that tows the plane backwards. When done, park brake must be on and rear tow may be released. Another trick is to ...

Great thing, Pascal. Your method is elegant. I tried a bruteforce solutions to the issue. The 3D model is supposed to has skipped extra object far ehead. Since Javier permits the usage of the Nimitz model, the faulty polygon could be removed from the mesh. But any convertor I used gives the 'corrupt...

Now she needs to be repopulated with mighty metal birds.
Take-offs and landings promise to be exciting.

Both Micro Flight (Old) and Fire Flight (NG) are a great way of testing new models for coming Vehicle Simulator NG.
They give a head start when creating NG vehicles and ensure their timely delivery for the filling of budding NG environment.

I love such inventive, deep, witty things. And tutorial videos are off the charts.
Great work, rakom!

There is sufficient evidence to suggest the [has_support] feature.
Any vehicle could be provided with a supporting surface for interacting with the deck.

Congratulations, Captain!

This is the first, tiny green sprout that chops up concrete.
Life is returning!

However, it should be recognized that it's a pretty big sprout.

Hi to all who remained,

This incident can be perceived as the reincarnation.
But obviously I do feel the Fire Flight is unjustly overlooked.
