hello, stuart
it is not off-topic because the corsair was a wonderfull aircraft in the navy.
The carrier you can see, is the model of a French one "Arromanches" was English (Colossus Class),
Yes it is GPL, like an other carrier "Foch" (Vivian did commited "Foch", he asked me to do it).
Theses are part of a French project, which will include most of the French Aeronaval (RFN) ships and aircrafts from 1939 to now.
The F-8E Crusader ( which suit to "Foch" carrier) is fully finished flying with FG 0.9.9.
I have a lot of them, not yet finished.
Carriers "Bois Belleau" (was Belleau Wood) and "Lafayette"
Aircrafts, Corsair F4U-7 (which suit to "Arromanches") , F6 Grumman, Lancaster MKIII, Catalina PBY-5 , Walrus ........
Helicopters HSS (Sikorsky H34), Dragonfly S-51, Piasecki H-21
After that long explanation, and ... coming back to that straight deck carrier, it is under test, as soon as it is available for download, i will tell it on that forum, and, if there is any interest, i will not mind to have it in the CVS
Today only for the eyes
