Surprise!
I was tootling from Teesside to Barton in the the X-Plane 11 Piper when I looked at the map and saw labels with 'Frigate' and 'Carrier' off the coast. Hoping for a True Earth Central Easter Egg (Ark Royal, Eagle, Centaur or Hermes would do ) I jumped into something a bit quicker and high-tailed to sea off Tynemouth. I've no idea why it would be there but this is out of the box X-Plane 11......

It's not a 'bird', it's an aeroplane or an aircraft 
Re: Surprise!
Good find Paul, at the moment I have been busy with other things that have kept me from flying but as soon as I am able to pick up my flight gear I will have to go a hunting.
BTW, did you try and land on the carrier or did you miss?!!

Re: Surprise!
I was in Tynemouth earlier for a rehearsal and I didn't see this! Someone remind me about real world/FS world and how it works?

I stumbled across one in the Firth of Forth.....as I was in the DR400 at the time I had to give it a go

Re: Surprise!
I didn't try I'm afraid. At my skill level just keeping the Jaguar upright is enough of a challenge! If I'd still been in the Piper I might have given it a go like Tony did. That's quite an impressive level of detail in Tony's picture.

That detail is very good isn't it? I haven't even yet tried to find the carrier, but when I do...............either I will make it or sink it !!!!Regards

Re: Surprise!
I flew the Aerolite 103 out to a carrier near Southampton yesterday. Reduced the throttle to land and despite still being airborne, the vessel began to pull away

Re: Surprise!
I do believe that also happened to the Swordfishes as well when it was very windy!!I tried to land on that carrier before 11.30 was released and fell promptly through it into the water!!
