IndyNavy Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) SIMULATING CARRIER OPERATIONS SINCE 2008 We are a group of US Naval Aviation enthusiasts that strive to emulate the strategic operations of USN carrier aviation while paying tribute to those brave individuals that serve and served in the United States Navy. VNAO has been around since Lock-On: Modern Air Combat (LOMAC). As time went on, LOMAC became DCS World and the modules that were being developed created the high fidelity US Navy environment needed to create carrier operations like never seen before in a consumer combat flight simulator. We created the community T-45C Goshawk Trainer Mod, for use with our Student Naval Aviators. No matter what skill level, if a pilot has the right attitude and shows enthusiasm, VNAO has the people and the knowledge to teach them the basics of carrier operations. Our skilled mission designers handcraft missions as well as briefings to provide the most immersive experience possible in DCS. Many of our members are former or active duty.
