USS Nimitz - WIP

[JDog]

*THIS ADDON HAS BEEN RELEASED, you can find the latest version/release post HERE*

I'll be keeping WIP shots and information in this thread for the USS Nimitz, so you guys can know what to expect.
________________

What is already done:

• USS Nimitz carrier
• Working catapults w/ animated jet blast deflectors
• Working arrestor cables
• Optional/available IFLOLS "meatball" landing aid when on approach
• Large hangar bay
• Working elevators
• A few interior corridors
• Rooms specifically for mission-makers to act as a briefing room and armory

What is hoped to be included eventually (probably wont get around to all of them):

• Working defense systems (Sea Sparrow, RAM, SRBOCs)
• Areas for jets to rearm, refuel, and repair
• Munitions storage room to get aircraft ammo from, along with weapons dolly
• Some crane vehicle to remove wrecks/debris from the runway/flight deck
• Davits to launch and retrieve CRRCs
• Crash barricade to receive aircraft with broken arrestor hooks
• Bridge interior with various functions (possibly: manual activation/deactivation of defensive turrets, view various cameras place around the ship, access to radar, etc)
• Extra set of "prop" items for mission-makers to use, such as flight training markers, cargo items to fill the hangar bay with, etc.

And a few notes(or "nots"):

• The Nimitz will NOT be drivable, it will be a static base on the sea
• It will work in ArmA II or Combined Ops (possibly OA alone, but it needs water)
• I will NOT be modeling any more of an interior with rooms and hallways and such, as it would serve little purpose more than a 5-second "oh cool" factor when walking through
• It will NOT have autopilot landing
• There will NOT be any aircraft included with this, just a carrier

Looks superb! Can we maybe see some pics of the plane-cargo on lower deck reachable via elevator?

Great job

Looks great, but I still have strange feeling that the deck is to bright...

Either base texture needs to be darker or far more tire skids/oil/dirt are needed.

But maybe it's only me, keep up the good work.

Nice job.
I do all my mod'ing with Post/Pre processing effects turned OFF.
You get a better idea what the true colour etc is like.
