Haze Gray Studios

Navy Veteran & Solo developer focused on creating quality 'military-themed' add-on content for Prepar3d. Celebrating Navy and Marine Aviation online.

If you have an appreciation for all forms of military aviation - not just combat simulation - and you are interested in curated flight sim experiences that replicate actual missions and events, then you will feel right at home here. 90% of the flyable aircraft operated by the US Navy and Marine Corps are available FREE for Prepar3d, each one with dozens of repaints and liveries applicable to specific units and time periods. Here we provide the ships, ports and other objects to interact with, and package it all up as challenging mission style scenarios that can be flown solo (often with AI aircraft), or as multiplayer flights.

Landing zones sit in proper jungle clearings, dozens of them. The ground matches the real terrain, and the towns have...
