The VUSN is pleased to announce support for FSX with Acceleration along with FS9. Enlistments are now being accepted for aviators wishing to use FSX with Acceleration. Due to some specific abilities, Acceleration is mandatory.
Although FSX does support moving carriers, the VUSN will continue to use static carriers for the foreseeable future. As we continue down the path of FSX and naval operations, we are sure that enhancements and improvements will ahead.
Memorial Day is a good time to reflect on the
sacrifices and services of the American soldiers and veterans
and the
U.S. military men and women. The American military is, has
always been
and will always recruit the best and finest of the crop of young
men and
women of the country and we will continue to shower them with
appreciation, support and prayers, as we have always done.
Memorial Day
is just an opportunity for us to express the special places they
have in
the hearts of American citizens and more by honoring the people
who work
in the various branches of the military.
