Must say I have the newer Carrier Ops based on current aircraft and the technology used in both packages (See below) is very good and very realistic so a fighter pilot once posted on another forum!

I admit to a bias for the WW2 Carrier Ops package, with a special like on the F6F Hellcat.
The idea behind the project was to have one carrier, and a representation of the US Naval aircraft. Initially, it was going to be the Hornet, but the Enterprise was about the only US carrier that served from the beginning of the war to the end, and on which all the major USN aircraft served at one point or another.

I have bought the WWII Carrier Ops. a few months ago and the custom sound of the Pratt&Whitney R2800 double Wasp Sounds very good.
I would really recommend the Addon for anyone who likes navy planes.

XH558 Add-on
A great addition too the FS scene which apart from the aggravating visual/sound effect it installs across the board works well with good flight dynamics, worth the money I think.

RAF VULCAN
Available for £17.99 + p&p here
Dangerous Delta The Avro Vulcan’s powerful lines and distinctive shape make it an icon of cold-war aviation. The Vulcan first flew in 1952 and its varied life is shown in RAF Vulcan from the testing of Britain’s nuclear deterrents to its vital role in helping re-capture the Falklands in 1982. Included is period scenery of RAF Cottesmore and even a repaint kit to allow you create your own liveries. Thanks to the tireless efforts of many people and a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, XH558 is due to return to the sky once more, but FS2004/2002 pilots can avoid the wait with RAF Vulcan now!
There are four variants of XH558 included, covering its appearance in 1960, 1970, 1981 and the present day. RAF Vulcan also comes with six other Vulcan examples in different Squadron liveries and with different model variations, including the 2K Tanker variant.
Included aircraft:
Details, details! Fully detailed virtual cockpit comes with 3D-modelled reflective glass windows, hi-res gauges; animated control stick, rudder pedal and throttle levers plus there’s also a superb 2D panel.
Each variant is accurately modeled to show the correct details of its period and usage. Moving parts include landing gear, flight surfaces, air brakes, engine fans, bomb doors, crew hatch, braking parachute and more…
Fully licensed by the RAF and a proportion of the sale price from RAF Vulcan will be donated to Vulcan To The Sky to help XH558 fly again!
