it would be hilarious if when a jet takes off the carrier and someone walks behind the engines thrust, they get shot off the back of the carrier.

I dont remember who but i Know i saw a full size carrier being created by Some BF2 mod . . . i would say Find the Main Navy carrier get the model permission some how and code it with catapaults . . but the issue also wouldbe what about landings ? :P Muhaha people have many issues with normal landings on runways soo with the less room to land how do manage? :o

Same way CATOBAR aircraft land on carriers, arrest wires, which if you watch near the end of the vid posted on the last page you can them in action :)

Also the BF2 mod making a Nimitz carrier was USI but the carrier model was very low detail and no where near finished, needed a lot of work in order to be anywhere near useable by someone who knew what they where doing and as it stands currently, we dont yet even have a map for STOVL aircraft (from a carrier) in PR, let alone CATOBAR.

CA where trying to finish off the USI one but pretty sure they gave up on that :p

The AV-8B Harrier, like the Harrier GR9 is a STOVL aircraft, not a true VTOL aircraft as with bombs and a full load of fuel, it can't take off vertically.

That would be pretty bad *** to have someone sitting in the control tower or side thing like in the video controlling the catapults, maybe add a video feed of the approach to tell the pilot if they are high, low, or off to the left/right so they can act like the LSO on the aircraft carrier.

You know what would be interesting and probably a waste of +9000 tickets a minute?

Nimitz carrier + Night map for PR :goodvibes
