New Aircraft Carrier - December Update (3/8)

That's right, we're adding a functional aircraft carrier in Aerofly FS!

With the F/A-18C you can now perform a catapult launch from the deck of a moving aircraft carrier, extend the arresting hook and land back on the flight-deck. You can also use the F4U Corsair's arresting hook or land on the deck with any airplane that can stop within the short length. Because the ship is moving and because the runway is angled to the side landing on the carrier is not actually easy but it can be great fun! Especially at night...

The F/A-18C has also received some significant upgrades. Cold and dark is now available, the aircraft is now heavier per default, the center of gravity was moved and you'll be able to adjust the fuel load in the new "Fuel and load" menu. The thrust and drag were adjusted to more realistic levels, now the aircraft can barely achieve Mach 1.1 at sea level and can only achieve Mach 1.8 at around FL350 or so. The flight controller was adjusted for a more snappy pitch control and faster g-response and slow flight controls have been adjusted. A master caution system has been added which checks for proper takeoff configuration (e.g. wings spread, flaps and trim set, etc.).
