That's were a little MP flight training , now you have have a new laptop you can plug on to TS ... we will get you rocking , Carrier landing are really fun and especially one is the LSO keeping watch as you approach .... we really need to demo it , Greg has the F4U-1 , be ideal to do a demo as you watch here.

One off the first things I noticed was the sound set with it , it is really so well done, this was the first Corsair I got close to ..... wasn't aloud to touch BUGGER but go's back to VE day commemorations in 1995 , great thing, this old Corsair has always missed the boat .. everyone knows the blown canopy rather the 'Birdcage' .

Thinking about must be due for another MP .. Marty recons he is not so much into carrier landings or ops .. .... Maybe we put Marty in as the Captain of the USS Enterprise CV6 .. be the ATC / CAG / LSO and Captain wont need comm's but would be a good intro to MP ! ?

Thinking about it , It would be interesting for those who have the 'Aircraft Factory' Corsair , see how it compares in a MP against one not having the other installed .

But on the above Marty did mention getting this Corsair , I think it would be a good intro for a newbie MP person to see how things work at a comfortable pace and to understand the workings ... won't require the mic but can spend the time taken screens ... as long as he keeps the ship in the wind.

We do have a MP typing chat option .. I hate that .. but worth a try B-)

You could always borrow Long Charley, or HMAS Melbourne, or even HMS Ark Royal or Victorious.
Of course if there's any shenanigans, I might join in with my IJN submarine and torpedo the lot of yez :arrr:
