That was fast! Please see here for the SeaSprite!

She may be closer than I thought! Just makes it on the deck! Looks great with this carrier! News soon!

Your wait is over. After a few fits and starts, and lots of fixes and up-dates, may I present, The Vought F-8 Crusader Credits, Pedro Caparros for the model, And permission to use it in DCS Spino, for the inspiration and sticking to RL lua code! My friend, @kolpakov_79, For the weapon Lua work on this version and the loading and background screens. Thank you! Main menu logo, me. Extra skins, myself and I do not remember! LOL Enjoy! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/35zozcnkkvicqd9wt45t9/Vought-F-8-Crusader-V1.0.0.zip?rlkey=h1w6jify2jon8k0wy661ilb4v&dl=0 My Fav! is above This is the crappy cockpit which came with the model. The new one is highly detailed. The FC3 F-15 cockpit could be used with a bit of lua and file work. If anyone does this, send me a PM. I can add arg 114 to the aircraft cockpit area for this purpose. Any other issues, send me a PM. Lets not foul up his thread any further than needed! Thank you! NOT tested other than to make sure it worked! YMMV

@toan The helo's need a bit of love before they can go out in the Sim world and be nice aircraft! Working my fingers to the bone!

Getting close! Flyable! Pilot position is incorrect. Edits are needed. Stay tuned! There will be another Christmas gift soon! Damn! I'm a poet!

I have this one as well. It is a low poly model thou. A Pedro model, used with his permission. But, with @TeTeT permission, I can post a link in this thread of that old one. If yes, I will take a look at it first for some fixes and/or corrections. I do not think I added the hook connectors to it. The other one is much better!. @Spino was going to do most the lua work, and weapons. But still a ways off before she is forums ready.

No Monsters mod would be complete without these guys! Better get a bigger gun! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vmjid9dacotyh6uzb5nv1/The-Movie-Monsters-Mod-V-3.2.rar?rlkey=e1v11i4nuxtmc51lrymmx66uv&dl=0

I see you have not looked inside the mod yet! Better take a peek!

“Dear Editor,” Virginia O’Hanlon started her letter to the editor, “I am 8 years old.” The young girl from New York City penned a letter in September 1897 to the New York Sun, explaining: “Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says ‘If you see it in The Sun it’s so.’ ” Then came the pointed question: “Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?" The letter, written in careful cursive, prompted a response so touching and timeless that it has been shared countless times over the past century — and become its own classic Christmas story. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” editorial writer Francis Pharcellus Church anonymously answered in the newspaper. “He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias." Virginia of ‘Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus’ grew up to be a teacher Over the years, especially during the holiday season, the iconic Christmas editorial has inspired music and movies and stage plays, even a cartoon. Throughout her life, Laura Virginia O’Hanlon Douglas, a longtime schoolteacher, also spoke about and recited it to other young children, explaining, “The older I get, the more I appreciate its philosophy.” In 1959, when asked whether she still believed in Santa Claus, the then-70-year-old O’Hanlon told a reporter: “Well, of course I do. Everybody wants to know — particularly at Christmastime — that there’s some kindly person interested in his well-being. It gives a glow to living. Whether it really is a person or a spirit doesn’t really matter very much — does it? Some people say we shouldn’t believe in things we can’t see. This is most unrealistic. Look at all the nice things that have happened to me because of Santa Claus.” Not long before her death in 1971, she said that she still believed in Saint Nick. The editorial — which was buried deep on Page 6 of the Sun on Sept. 21, 1897 — has been called “American journalism’s best-known editorial.” It read: Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe In Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

BUMP goes the Frosty! Merry Christmas!

Not a helicopter per say, But I could make one in about two hours. Make it spawn above ground. Select indestructible in the options. Try this one for now!

@toan May I copy this lua for a carrier I am creating? Credit will be given, if I end up using it, or parts of it. Thanks for considering my request! Happy holidays to all! Did not Helicopters use the Essex Class?

Agreed!

And A Happy New Year! @Kang Very well done! Thank you! Best wishes to you and yours!

Parking code is my nemesis! I have figured out most other code stuff. But this carrier code is mind boggling! Good luck! I suggest you comment the lua once, and if, you figure out what each line, and code data means. This will help all carrier creators in the future.

I made this entire set. A fantastic addition to any WWII pit! Also made the P-40 trims. Highly recommended! One point, I did not like the cat 5 connectors. I used automotive style with good locks. Bad things happen to the BB-32 if a connector becomes disconnected. DO NOT ask how I know!

Second post up-dated! Happy holidays!

No need. They do in fact work! I used the pack from the download I posted. Be sure your path is correct. A saved games install location.

Awwwww I thought the Cobra was doing magic!! Nice one ED!
