/images/notams/notams19/sdb1113/sdb1113.jpgThis version began as an idea to enhance the original release for use inPrepar3D v4 by updating the RFN Carrier gauge to the 64-bit version. Theinitial idea was to replace the F-14 Tomcats, A-7 Corsair IIs, A-6Intruders, and SH-3 Sea Kings with the more modern F/A-18 Hornets and SH-60Seahawks borrowed from Javier Fernandez's beautiful Nimitz carrierpackage. But as happens sometimes the smallish project took on a life ofits own and soon became an extensive overhaul worthy of a separatepackage. The new model visually reflects changes from the 3+ year refit of1990-1994 and the overhauls of 2005 and 2008-2009. We selected two cruises. The final World Cruise in 2006, one of the lastcruises for the S-3 Viking onboard the Enterprise. And the 2012Mediterranean/Arabian Sea Cruise, the last cruise of the Enterprise beforereturning stateside for defueling and eventual decommissioning in2017. Both cruises originated at Oceana, Virginia and saw military actionin the Persian Gulf. The included Boat Traffic files cover these two areasof operation. The included aircraft types, units, and markings are correctfor the two cruises. /images/notams/notams19/sdb1113/teamsdb-1.jpgIn addition to the Enterprise we have included an Arleigh Burke classDestroyer in two versions - Flight IIa Class2 and Flight IIa Class5. Theseare based on the models by Henrik Nielsen. With Henrik's permission, wehave enhanced them for this project. To give the package a bit more usefulness we have gone a step furtherfrom the original release and have included a complete RFN Carriergauge. This will not only give access to nearly a dozen Advanced Featuresbut also a graphic interface to locate and interact with the ships. Thanksto the improvements of Prepar3D v4 we have been able to include veryrealistic night lighting effects on all ships. To manipulate the lights andother details a configuration interface is included. /images/notams/notams19/sdb1113/teamsdb-2.jpgFeaturesTwo configurations representing the 2006 World Cruise and the 2012 Final Cruise with unique carrier details and carrier/aircraft textures for eachEmpty deck versions of both cruisesFull FSX Acceleration carrier operations compatibilityNew and updated static aircraft on deck (F/A-18C Hornet, F/A-18E Super Hornet, F/A-18F Super Hornet, EA-6B Prowler, S-3B Viking, E-2C Hawkeye, and SH-60 Seahawk)Aircraft servicing vehicles, fire trucks, and deck crew figuresSH-60 Seahawk plane guard helicopter flying alongsideArleigh Burke class Destroyer escorts (Flight IIa Class2 and Flight IIa Class5) RFN gauge for TACAN (TACtical Air Navigation system - course and distance) and ICLS (Instrument Carrier Landing System) navigation to the shipAdvanced FLOLS (Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System) system with correct glide slopeLRLS - Long Range Line-Up SystemAudible LSO (Landing Signal Officer) announcementsAdvanced aircraft launch triggerRealistic launch speed tailored to individual aircraftAnimated Catapult Officer (Shooter)Steam effect on catapult (Prepar3D v4 only)GOTO feature to position your aircraft in one of four deck locationsWorking #3 elevator for movement between hanger deck and flight deckNight operations lighting including sequenced flashing centerline lightsDynamic night lighting (Prepar3D v4 only)Carrier Traffic files for both cruises near NAS Oceana, Virginia and the Persian GulfConfiguration file for use with AI Carrier utilityTeam SDB generously donates a portion of revenues from its products toUK Help for Heroes. /images/notams/notams19/sdb1113/teamsdb-3.jpgPurchase Team SDB - CVN-65 Final Cruises
