This is an update of the excellent carrier model by Nat. Features include:

*The Ark Royal pitches up and down and side to side. The carrier can simulate three 'sea states' Calm - Light - Heavy. The Ark Royal starts any mission in the 'Light' sea state but if you take control of the carrier you can change it's motion.

*The carrier deck is more aircraft friendly. Hidden collision points which caused aircraft to flip over or explode in mid air have been eliminated.

*Updated damage model incorporates some effects Nat used on his 'crippled carrier' model. These include burning bomb carters on the deck. The number of textures used has also been reduced.

It is IMPORTANT that you get an update of the Supermarine Seafire Mk I (Version 2.4) which had to be modified for the 'picthing' deck. Other carrier aircraft such as the Corsair Fu41a, Sea Hurricane, Sea Mosquitio and A6m2-n 'Rufe' operate satisfactorily from the 'pitching deck' Ark Royal without modification.

I look forward to trying this out mace, it sounds great! Just an fyi for you though... I read earlier this week (source: CBC) that nbci will be closing soon (losing too much money), so if you haven't already, make sure you have a copy on your HD of everything you wouldn't want to lose when the plug gets pulled.
