    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

F7F Tigercat New VC for FSX & P3D

I thought I'd start a new thread for the F7F Tigercat VC upgrade.

I've got a lot of projects on the fire but I spent a some quality time on the new VC for the "Kitty". I'm about 50% modeled in the front VC, will get started on animation code and gauges when front and rear models are complete.

The model is all new and I've spent a lot of detail time on all of the internals. The MK 20 gun sight is one of the new additions, along with a very accurate quadrant. Research data says that the MK 20 reflected the sight off of the windscreen so I'm not sure if this is the variant I will use. I've got pics showing windscreen and reflector type installed.

Still a very long way to go, but she is a beaut and worth showing in her early stage. This is a project I go to when I need a break from the scenery projects, so bear with me friends.

Enjoy...

Wow, that is looking awesome. Talk about taking a great add on and making it greater. Thanks for the previews and all of the hard work.
 
Gman you're unreal! I can't believe your mad mad skills. I really really wish I could team up with you on a project but I'd just hold you back!! Keep up the great work. Seriously fantastic. If you ever would like to see a flying one the Historic Flight foundations based at Paine field Everett WA has one. Be happy to see if they'd let you inside the plane for photos if you need them. If you ever decide to visit them or Flying Heritage collections I'd be happy to give you the tour. Again. Great talent here.
 
That is looking brilliant Gordon.Thank you for
all the work you have done making flight simming even better.

A great surprise. Awesome modelling! Not that the old one needed to be replaced, but this will make the F7F even more spectacular.

Cheers,
