New redwing ww2 carriers in the Pacific (3 different carrier groups) and Biggin Hill are just out in the marketplace. There’s an airfield in France too. I don’t know why but their stuff never gets picked up on the ‘newly’ added websites?

I saw the Yorktown in the Dev Update, and am interested in it for the WW2 carrier aircraft I have.
Is the Marketplace the only place these are available, or can they be purchased elsewhere?
Only the marketplace

There’s supposedly a whole simulated battle plugin for the Yorktown you can get from Redwing separately once you’ve purchased it on the marketplace. I’m desperate for someone to test it and put something up on youtube. So far I’ve not seen anything.
This is the official trailer, which shows a lot already.
I will make a own test video today or tomorrow, but it really looks like in this video. You will have anti-aircraft gun smoke, some dogfights and a lot of battle sound, when you unkock it. You also have a lot of other ships without the need to “unlock”, even enemy fleets some distance away. But you cant really fight yourself, so it is just ambiente. And there a main 3 scenarios (carrier locations) in total in this addon.

I made a preview video for Biggin Hill and Saint Omer in German Language.

There’s no actual interactive combat. Msfs doesn’t allow that. There are some missions like find the Japanese fleet.
Here is my preview video (german language) of the USS Yorktown Class Carrier Addon -
Watched both, very useful. Thanks!
Does anyone know how to get the manual? I bought it on the Marketplace and it is working in-game, but I can’t find anything in the Official folder-
Thanks in advance for any help-

The Yorktown manual is there in English or French. The other manuals are for the Redwing St. Omer and Biggin Hill airfield add-ons.
Thank you my friend!
Got it and am reading up right now-
By any chance, is that Bismarck off her starboard beam in the sim ? 
I think someone on the Discord said it was the Prinz Eugen.

Awesome! Miltech really dropped the ball on WWII carriers, and I was hoping somebody else would take it on!
I’m sad it’s only available on the Marketplace. 
I’ll have to decide if I want to purchase it anyway.
I’m really confused as to why I’m not seeing any marketing on these products from Redwing anywhere on the web, other than a few videos they’ve posted on Facebook and Discord. But no write up from them on the products that I can find anywhere?
The carrier models are beautiful. They will only work with aiplanes that have organic trap/arrester gear, think Gotfriends Wildcat and FlyingIron Hellcat.
They do not work with Touching Cloud Kinetic Assistant. They come with a bizarre mix of American and German escort ships, LOL.
Worth the money if you want to do WWII traps/takeoffs. There is a manual with LOTS of room for improvement.
Overall I am enjoying this add-on. I hope Redwing will continue to improve/refine this offering.
It is strange how their products seem to ghost into the marketplace. Even the new add on websites don’t pick them up. There’s a new Redwing 1960s JFK in the marketplace that isn’t mentioned anywhere.

It’s so weird. Even their own website says nothing about the carrier addon as far as I could tell. When I’m making a product, I feel like the creating the marketing is the fun part, lol.
Maybe because English is their second language, they don’t feel confident doing writeups? I’d be happy to proofread and edit their translations if that’s the case. Not that I’m a marketing pro or anything, but, heck, I want to understand their intention with the product and get excited before I purchase it. I like to read ad copy. Maybe they don’t like whatever tool they used to create their website, or their website creator ghosted them or something?
It’s the holiday season… Generate that excitement!!
