The first legitimate Bearcat

Here's a picture of a legitimate Bearcat. The Pilot is the right size, the canopy is in the right shape, the paint has the right shine, the tailhook is wide enough and it doesn't have that stupid frame in the back of the canopy.
This is a real airplane 63 years ago.

This may be the first "legitimate" Bearcat, but this is certainly not the first time you have complained. Vertigo Studios has put out a very fine product and if it doesn't live up to your standards, then there is a simple solution... Don't buy it!
 
So what's your point Helldiver? If you don't like the products that are out there, don't buy it/them. If your point is to just "point out" what a real Bearcat looks like, thanks, but I have plenty of other sources available to me to sort that out. I bought the Vertigo Bearcat, I like it and I don't care if this or that piece isn't perfect.

I for one am glad and thankful for developers that offer these additional products that don't come with the original sim. If it wasn't for them, warts and all, I wouldn't be able to simulate flying some of what I consider to be the greatest aircraft that were produced.
 
ZZZZ

To take a quote out of Steve Job's book "what have you done that's so great? Do you create anything, or just criticize others work....?"

Somehow I find it disappointing that Helldiver seems to get this response to many of his posts. He was there! You were not. Personally that merits respect to the man even if you do not agree with what he has to say in his posts.
 
Grumman made that one, falcon...

Helldiver - it is impossible to please everyone all the time

and to all - its just not a big enough rail to cause any more reply than "sorry you don't like it"


to Vertigo - I think the positives far outweigh the negatives so please continue on course and speed


edit : I see the pic now - was a red X before - and it IS the Vertigo model - so this tongue in cheek rant got me
 
Ok

Did you guys even look at his attached pic? It's the vertigo studios bearcat... I'm thinking you may need to reconsider how this came across... Mabye he was complimenting it.... That damn sure isn't a real bird (look at the scenery) but i am fairly certian it's the V Studios one. Also v studios is releasing a patch. So let's reexamine and think through all possibilities before we gang up on someone. Just my $0.02


I could be wrong, and if I have offended you, I apologize in advance.

What ever happened to the saying "if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing right" I for one am not an expert on this aircraft but I do expect it to be the best it can be especially when we pay for it, and I'm not satisfied with the end result of this one, never before has vertigo studios released a model in the state this one has been and I know it's being fixed but still it just feels half finished to me! This is in no way a dig at anyone just my personal opinion! AnyWay Haywoods right the positives by far outweigh the negatives!
 
I am just trying to say that he is repeating himself way too much. Vertigo has heard his complaints on the matter and either they are choosing to ignore them, or they are fixing them behind the scenes. They have already said that they won't be posting as much on SOH because of people who like to constantly put down their work.

And to the people who are insinuating that I have less respect for the guy because I posted that... grow up. At no point in my post did I say I didn't have respect for him. I love Helldiver for what he did for his country and for us. I am merely saying that he has made his point heard. Whether or not Vertigo chooses to act on that, is not up to him.
 
Hello,

For me it is a wonderful repaint for the Vertigo Bearcat. We can find it on the Avsim library under the name f8f-1_vf-72.zip (texture only for Vertigo payware package). Inside this repaint archive file we can find the image used by helldiver.( If you look at the prop disk on this image you will discover it is a screenshot.)

This wonderful repaint was done by Russel R. Smith. Thanks

Have a good day

Ummm, did i miss something here?? Thats vertigo studios bear and from what i can see HD was complimenting them.. I'm quite confused from the out of left field comments which appeared to me to be defensive and aggressive slams..
Warchild..
 
Thats what I think too. I think Helldiver is messing with our heads..... pointing out that the final product incorporated many adjustments.

That would be aimed at me.

I agree that you did not directly do that. My point was that in some cases it is okay to not reply to every thing you read. You learn that when you "grow up".
 
Poor ol' Helldiver can't post anything without somebody jumping in his arse! LOL I'm glad he is thick-skinned!
 
personally??? i like and respect Mr Helldiver..the man is a Vetran (even though i cant spell it) and i respect him for it and im not gonna pick on nuffin he says......


for that mater i respect all our vets here..USA and other countries since we are a world wide forum...thank you ALL for what youve done for your respective countries and peoples....i stayed home and did my bit as a fire fighter (yes ive meantioned this before) but its all i could do...sooooo

Yea, that's why I asked who made the airplane. You can look at his pic and see it's a screenshot from the sim. I just didn't know who the developer was and if HD says it's perfect, I want a closer look.

I did know that Grumman made the original airplane, lol:wavey:
 
My gosh...

...it's a GAME, people.

...and Helldiver was simply screwing with our heads-- good on ya, sir!
