A little demo using the "Super Warrior" mod from Touching cloud and the Carrier Ops - USS Enterprise add on from Photosbykev, both excellent freeware downloads available from Flightsim.to.
For some reason the recorder I used to record the flight does not show the animated jet blast deflectors but I can assure you they do work, also despite showing the animated deck crew, it does not show the correction animations when you are launched, the person guiding you to the catapult walks out the way when you lower the launchbar switch, in my recording he stays put so gets run over!
I will make a separate video to demonstrate those features.
In this demo, I do an aileron roll just after launching, very irresponsible I know, but those of you with keen eyes, and fans of a certain film might recognise the pilot, and that is typical of his behaviour! (that's another add on - F-18 Service Buddies pilot character mod) from twoseventyinc, again that's a free download from Flightsim.to
After gaining altitude I perform an Immelmann manoeuvre to face back towards the carrier, diving with afterburners to gain sped, I go supersonic and you can hear the sonic boom as I pass overhead.
Then, another Immelmann to head back again from the opposite direction for a high speed pass, a tight turn for another pass which I perform a 4 point hesitation roll, then another Immelmann leading into a inverted pass, I was a little low just before rolling out! (less than 100ft) then a " dirty" low speed pass with gear, flaps and hook down, before executing a high alpha manoeuvre and then it is time to land.
The video is shot from multiple viewpoints, cockpit view, external view and a fixed external view from what I thought was an observation platform, but now I am not sure after seeing photos of the carrier this is based on, the now retired USS Enterprise.
It is a bit jittery at times, I am not sure why, as when I was flying it seemed fine, it is only in the replay that is really noticeable.
