Vertigo Studios P-36 Spotted!

Crashaz, it a pity you can't post images with sound. The sound package by Lawdog is defenitely one of the best I have ever heard!
And as said for its age it is still a stunning looking model.

Purplebubble the textures for the propellor are not included in the standard texture folders, therefore I haven't got a clue which textures are used.

In the past I had textures for the P-36 depicting a machine used during the camouflage trail in Cleveland Ohio in 1939. I went through all my CDs and searched the net, but I have been able to find them anymore.
Can anybody direct me to these texture? I would be very grateful!

Outstanding model! The texture is also shaping up very well! This is going to be an outstanding aircraft for FSX I think.
 
Guys can I have some history on the P36 this is one I can say I know very little about and there aren't many I can say that about, any info on the real steel would be much appreciated!
 
Thanks MC, Ive never really been interested or really thought much of this bird, but with the upcoming model I now shall. Thanks mate
Cheers Bud, Pete!


Edit just read it, and I quite like the sounds of this and I quote of wiki ...
The (RAF) also displayed interest in the aircraft. Comparison of a borrowed French Hawk 75A-2 with a Spitfire Mk I revealed that the Hawk had several advantages over the early variant of the iconic British fighter. The Hawk was found to have lighter controls than the Spitfire at speeds over 300 mph (480 km/h), especially in diving attacks, and was easier to maneuver in a dogfight (thanks to the less sensitive elevator) and better all-around visibility. The Hawk was also easier to control on takeoff and landing. Not surprisingly, the Spitfire's superior acceleration and top speed ultimately gave it the advantage of being able to engage and leave combat at will.

Thats all I needed to hear I'm IN too, cheers MC!
 
Here is the best video I know of available on the internet, of the The Fighter Collection's example, which currently is the only airworthy Hawk 75 (there is a second under restoration to flying condition as well). It is great to see that this example will be included in the package!

According to the few pilots that have flown the restored example, I believe they are all quite impressed with how it handles. When you look at the lines of the Hawk 75/P-36, it is quite easy to see that it should fly very well.

We're currently ironing out some lose ends on the Dauntless and then on to implementing the systems.
 
WOW, great shots Dean, looking forward to the Dauntless one VERY MUCH!
