Hi everyone!
I'm glad to release this new mod: Aquila aircraft carrier;
D\L link:
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6228
This is the twenty-third of a serie of units for Regia Marina, a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.
Pack include a multiskin Aquila carrier, with 2 skins (Those liveries are only hypothetical, as the ship never becomes operational, due to the Italian armistice. She was 90% complete at time.) and the ship-borne fighter Reggiane Re.2001OR.
Note the launch system with DEMAG catapults and planes fitted on sledges.
As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases.
