asos Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I wonder if there is an Essex class carrier --straight and\or angled deck--for fs9. We have plenty of Nimitz and similar-class carriers, but I could not find a CV-9 Essex, or any other same-class carriers. Any help will be appreciated.

asos Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks mrzippy, I will try that and see if it works for me, as what I want is a static carrier and not a pilotable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeandpatty Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 As a SMALL point - this is called CV-8! ESSEX was CV-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asos Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I found exactly what I wanted :uss_lex.zip by Bruce Baker. What mrzippy suggested will not do--it is a pilotable ship. I wanted a carrier I could launch from and trap on using naval aircraft. I have already trapped and launched on this carrier with a TBF Avenger, using rcbco-20.zip. With that, you must add a catapult gauge and a tailhook gauge on the 2D panel and you can launch and trap anywhere---even on land runways.This method does away with the need for arrcab, 3-Wire, etc... Will post some screenshots here soon. The carrier is CV-16 USS LEXNGTON, Essex-class, angled deck. And I suppose one can repaint it as CV-9 USS Essex, and even place it at a different location.
