Greetings,

In what has become one of the virtual sky's greatest success stories, the Virtual Naval Air Operations team brought forth a new group. Tonight, I am going to tell you a little about some of the things that make us unique to any other group out there.

Realism: Our command structure takes a novice pilot and allows him to have a Naval career. From Officer Candidate, a new recruit can promote through the ranks and eventually be given command of one of our Tomcat or Hornet squadrons. Our skin design team can crank out high res and realistic skins for new squadrons that look simply amazing.

Training: Even the greenest of pilots can be trained. Whether you are new to the sim, or a veteran of the Lock On skies, theres a place for you in our training program. Our training officers are patient and knowledgeable and will have you trappin a two wire in no time flat.

Sim development: Our team of highly skilled developers are working to put together a new Navy-oriented mod that will eventually include a new Tomcat D, Super Hornet, and Super Carrier. These projects are constantly updated in our forums with WIP (work in progress) pics and are coming together in truly amazing form. Not satisfied with simply adding a model or two to the sim, we are striving to create what will ultimately be a complete USNavy Mod package. You don't have to join to enjoy this mod in all its glory, it will be released publicly, but what better place to put this mod through its paces than the only 100% simulated Carrier Operations group in the community.

Opportunity: In other squadrons, you can be a pilot amongst leaders. VNAO is the only place where anyone with the drive and determination to lead can one day be given the keys to his own Hornet or Tomcat squadron. Serve in other groups, but you can lead in VNAO. Our new CO's can choose which real-world squadron they want to create, what skins to use in that squadron and how to run that squadron's training and operations from training schedules to tactics.

Don't take my word for it, just ask one of the over two dozen pilots we have in our squadrons currently. In our first two weeks, 24 pilots joined us. And though we are still in developmental stages, everyone is having the time of their lives.

Come visit us at http://www.virtualnavairops.com and visit our forums for development pics and meet the men behind the biggest thing to happen to US Navy Carrier Ops in sims since USNAVY FIGHTERS!

For pics of our aircraft development, including the Tomcat and Superhornet, visit our development website at http://www.carrierpilots.com.


Thanks

Can you tell us anything about the carrier you fly off of? I didn't think the US Navy carrier in the game could be used. I've been away for a little while.


People in aviation who think they know it all, are particularly annoying to those of us who really do

Would you care to expand on your eloquent statement? I'm having difficulty deciphering its intended meaning.

No clickable cockpits, sorry. As far as I know the new Black Shark will have clickable cockpits, but our mod will update the exterior of the F-14 only, using the stock SU-33 mod procedure.

The US carrier is landable, and we have worked around many of the obstacles. We can very closely simulate carrier operations. We can land, taxi and even takeoff. We also have a man working on a new cockpit configuration that greater resembles the american cockpit.

Thanks, we think so too. Our Tomcat is in beta now and we hope to have some pics with skins real soon. For now, visit the carrierpilots.com site for the latest details.

We may have a more americanized cockpit in a later version of the the model.

The Tomcat will be released first and the Super Hornet not far behind. In fact, I need more bomber pilots, so you dirt movers out there, come join us.

Thanks everyone,

Flight models are hard-coded and NOT editable...

Youre right, I misred that post. The flight models will not be editable until ED open sources the code, which could be some time to come since their new sim takes up much of their priority.

Yes, I´m also curious what that does mean...

The external tomcat model looks outstanding so far. But sitting inside a Su-33 pit while flying this beauty will spoil any atmosphere (let alone realism)...
