FSX Weapons Pack Download

Douglas Dauntless SBD-3 Download

In this adventure we will fly several bombing missions from the carrier Enterprise. It is recommended that you use the Dauntless bomber available at the above link. You will need to have the bomb weapon (FSX-Weapons-Pack-4) addon that is also used in Mike's Bomber Group project downloadable from the link above. You will also want to use our SPAARRCAB addon that allows arrestor cable and catapult function.

This adventure has three required flights. The first flight will be from Midway Atoll, Henderson Field (PMDY) to the Carrier Enterprise. This will give an idea of the proximity of Midway to the US fleet and later the Japanese Fleet to the Island. The next two flights will be from the carrier Enterprise, first to attack carriers Akagi, Soryu and Kaga. You will then return to the Enterprise. The next flight will be back out to sink the carrier Hiryu. At this point you will return to Midway Atoll to complete the adventure.

• [Flight# AP161] PMDY to Enterprise
  (PMDY-ENTE) [Approximately 255 miles]
• Aircraft: Dauntless Bomber
• Weather: Your choice
• Time: Daylight
• Scenario:
  You are at Midway, and have been ordered to the carrier Enterprise to take part in the attack on the approaching Japanese fleet. Take off from PMDY on a 360-degree heading to meet up with the US fleet. Note: there are several ways to locate the fleet. Dead-reckoning is the most difficult and not recommended. I encourage using the available NDB located on the Enterprise to find the fleet. Note that there is a 100-mile limit to the NDB, so you will be on your own until you get within range of the NDB (freq 284). The last and easiest way is to set your GPS to find the airport ENTE. This should be listed in your airport listing as the Enterprise Carrier. I recommend only checking your GPS for this location if you believe you missed the NDB range. I believe that the GPS will show the carrier as an airport on your GPS without actually setting a flight plan to it.
  
  


• [Flight# AP162] (ENTE-ENTE) Enterprise to Japanese Fleet
  [Approximately 178 miles]
• Aircraft: Dauntless Dive Bomber
• Weather: Your choice
• Time: Daytime
• Scenario:
  Take off from the Enterprise and fly heading 222-degrees. Set NDB to freq 357. This will be an NDB located on the Japanese carrier Hiryu - the leading carrier. Note that on this flight your targets are actually the 3 trailing carriers, the Soryu to the left of Hiryu as you approach the group from the rear, Kaga - the center carrier and Akagi, the carrier on the right as you approach the group from the rear.
  
  After bombing the 3 carriers, return to the Enterprise to finish this flight
  
  


• [Flight# AP163] (ENTE-PMDY) Enterprise to Japanese Fleet to PMDY
  [Approximately 178 miles to target and 125 miles to PMDY]
• Aircraft: Dauntless Dive Bomber
• Weather: Your choice
• Time: Daytime
• Scenario:
  Take off from the Enterprise and fly heading 222-degrees. Set NDB to freq 357. This will be an NDB located on the Japanese carrier Hiryu - the leading carrier. Bomb the leading carrier, the support ships, and anything else you feel like hitting again.
  
  After bombing run you will return to PMDY rather than the carrier. This will give you an idea of where the Japanese fleet was relative to Midway Atoll. It's also about 50-miles closer to you than the Enterprise. This completes Adventure 16.
