Is the new Stennis module still planned?

 

Hey guys, does anyone know if ED is still developing the new carrier module? COnsidering all the work that needs to be done on the Viper and Hornet I don't know where they stand anymore regarding this module's development. I'm not complaining or demanding anything, nor am I asking for a release date. I just want to know whether it's still something in the works, and if so I'll patiently await its release.

 

Also, some months ago Wags talked about developing a mission data card where you could preload several preferences before launching a mission, such as Bullseye, waypoints, sequences, countermeasure programs etc. Does anyone know about that as well?

Like, the new carrier module (not a new Stennis module) is being talked about every week at this point: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=237890

 

More news in todays newsletter.

The carrier module is almost definitely still happening, there is too much work put in to abandon now.

 

The datacard has been pretty much confirmed now, evident by the way the viper has its lgb codes done (as a placeholder for the future datacard implementation)

@Wags, @Nineline, Since its 3d modeling finished, can you share a few seconds video about the model of the carrier?

I was really looking forward to today's newsletter. However, I really do hate to sound ungrateful, but that was news we already knew. I got caught up in my own hype, so I need to emotionally detach from this thread again. I'm guessing, if they had more info they would've shared it?:noexpression:

wooww next year?? you sure? I thought they will release EA after 2-3 weeks...

 

 

i not sure at all, but i just don´t think that they will release it that quickly after the F-16 EA "debakel". We got no new infos in this news so i think they are not ready at all!

Hi all,

 

we are planning to update you all soon about the super carrier.

 

Look for news towards the end of October start of November.

 

thanks

 

Is today's newsletter the update you mentioned or will there be more? The information provided is really nothing new.

The new carrier is looking really good...maybe a little too good. What kind of performance can we expect to see? As of right now, you put a few Hornets and Tomcats on the Stennis and FPS drops significantly.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing some performance figures on it myself, with various plane layouts on the deck. Just to get an idea what we'll be looking forwards to.

Yes, this and tugs that can move the aircraft around... honestly that was kind of what I was expecting considering this is probably going to cost a decent amount of money. I hope this kind of stuff gets added. It's the kind of stuff I'd like to see added to airfields eventually as well (towing aircraft).

 

That's exactly what I was hoping for. I was with VF-74 on the Forrestal and would love to be back on the flight deck again.

The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Shirt color on the flight deck

 

Yellow shirts are worn by aircraft handlers and aircraft directors that shuttle aircraft around the carrier’s tight and chaotic deck. Catapult Officers and Arresting Gear Officers also wear yellow shirts. Because yellow shirts are so involved with taxiing aircraft, they are often featured prominently in dramatic photos depicting carrier deck operations.

 

Green shirts are worn by some of the hardest-working sailors on the deck, including ones who run and maintain the ship’s catapults and arresting gear. Hook Runners who make sure the ship’s cross-deck pendants (wires) make it back into position to trap another aircraft by coercing them with a five-foot steel bar wear green shirts. This is one of the most dangerous positions on the flight deck as the wires can snap across the deck at high speed, slicing through whatever or whoever they come in contact with. Air wing maintenance personnel, those who work on the aircraft directly, also wear green shirts, as do cargo handling personnel, ground support equipment troubleshooters, enlisted helicopter landing signal personnel and photographer’s mates.

 

Blue shirts are plane handlers that work under the direction of the yellow shirt wearing aircraft handlers, assist in moving aircraft around the deck. They also can operate the carrier’s massive aircraft elevators, drive tractors and work as messengers and verbal liaisons.

 

Purple shirts, better known as “Grapes,” are all about aviation fuels. They fuel and de-fuel the carrier’s aircraft, often on very tight schedules. Obviously, pumping fuel at high-pressure into jets loaded with explosives and full of hot electronics and mechanical devices is not exactly a low-risk proposition. One spark, caused by grounding issue or one of many other possibilities, could cause a real disaster.

 

Red shirts. :) The red color is no mistake as the crewmen that wear this color are usually near very hazardous things or situations. Ordnancemen deal with building, moving and mounting weapons and arming the air wing’s aircraft. They use their own hardened elevators to move live bombs and missiles up to the deck before loading them on the aircraft, which can including literally lining up and heaving a 500 pound missile over their shoulders to get it attached to the aircraft’s weapons station. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) crews also wear red shirts along with crash and salvage crews. Crash teams have their own mini tug-sized fire fighting vehicles and are ready at a moment’s notice to respond to mishap on the deck.

 

Brown shirts are worn most notably by Plane Captains. Loosely equivalent to a Crew Chief in the Air Force, Plane Captains are responsible for overseeing the maintenance, launch and recovery and general well-being of their aircraft as well as the others in their squadron. The old adage is the plane captain is the one who truly “owns the jet,” and the pilot just borrows it for a couple hours at a time.

 

White shirts are worn by a fairly wide mix of deck crew. These include many quality and safety observers such as air wing quality control personnel, individual squadron plane inspectors, and safety observers. Yet probably most well-known white shirt wearers are Landing Signal Officers (LSOs) who help talk down approaching aircraft while also making sure the deck is clear for their arrival. The LSOs are sourced from each squadron in the air wing and are usually pilots with historically high landing scores themselves. White shirts are also worn by Air Transfer Officers who are responsible for the handling and conveyance of all mail, cargo and passengers arriving via C-2 Greyhound Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) aircraft and helicopters. When VIPs or media are being escorted on the deck they also wear white. Crews who provide liquid oxygen to aircraft and medical personnel are also assigned white tops.

The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Although I appreciate the update I agree I was expecting a bit more. This was more like a development update. Again, it was still good.
