Is there any chance you could compile it as an mdl file? Just asking as I'm not sure whats involved. Which program did you use to create her? FSDS or GMAX?

I second that... an MDL file would be great, if someone would be kind enough to compile one.

Have a good weekend

Technically it should be possible to make an MDL, however I was having problems compiling it as one model towards the end and had to split it into 4 seperate parts otherwise I was getting some random parts moving out of place. I'll give it a go but it won't be until October.

The carriers in FSX Acceleration sound very cool indeed!!

I really do hope it'll be possible to do Free Flight as well as Missions.

I also hope they can get the carriers rolling and pitching (ideally dependant on wind speed and direction), just as Rhys has in his 3wireX experiments:

In the meantime it would be great to use an MDL of Ark Royal to have her sailing a course (and pitching and rolling?!) and use 3wireX to trap the landings (when its released).

In the meantime I'd still love to land a Wessex or Sea King on a moving Ark Royal...
