Good news if you have ever thought a particular stretch of water was a good place for some free flight carrier action. We will soon have an online carrier placement tool that will help you place moving carriers in any location around the world. We will keep you updated with progress and let you know when its ready to go.
Two more aircraft definitions have been added to the library, the Alphasim A-6E Intruder and the F4U7 Corsair. Thanks to Mark and Rick for contributing these definitions.
Another 3rd party aircraft definition has been added to the library thanks to Michael Wehner. Adding the RazBam A-6 definition to your 3wirex configuration files will allow you to use this great looking aircraft with 3wirex.
Abacus has released their next carrier operation package - Carrier Strike Force. Powered by 3wirex, CSF includes carrier operations from the Charles de Gaulle as well as the smaller amphibious assult ships USS Bonhomme Richard and HMS Illustrious. CSF lets you fly the Rafale M, F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter and AV-8B II Plus Harrier. There are also a number of exciting missions that include bombing practice and shooting down MiGs! More details are available at http://www.abacuspub.com/csf/.
A quick reminder to check out the definitions library where you can grab the required settings for more of your favorite aircraft. We recently added the IRIS F-14A and AlphaSim EA-6B to the list thanks to two 3wirex users. Don't forget to let us know if you create a definition so we can share it in the library.
I have added the aircraft SDK to the website in the new SDK section. The SDK section contains the documentation on how to configure other objects for use with 3wirex. The aircraft SDK contains all the required information to create your own aircraft definitions so that any aircraft can be used with 3wirex. Information regarding carriers will be added in the near future.
We have added a definition library to the website. Over time we will post definitions for other aircraft and carriers on the page to make life a bit easier. If you have created your own definition or zone, please let us know by sending an email to support@3wirex.com and we will post it in the library for all to see!
Flight Deck 5, the next installment in the Flight Deck series from Abacus has been officially launched at the Oz Flight 2007 Expo held this weekend at the Conrad Jupiters Hotel and Casino on the Gold Coast, QLD Australia. Flight Deck 5 uses 3wirex to power its carrier operations in Flight Simulator X. 3wirex allows sim pilots to launch and recover aboad moving carriers in missions and free flight. Only 3wirex provides pilots with an unscripted virtual LSO that gives verbal instructions while on approach to the carrier. The LSO is active in missions and free flight on every approach to the carrier. 3wirex also makes it easy to place your own carriers in the FSX world by using just a text editor, with no other tools required.
