I purchased this last night, and I am disappointed. Looking at all the repaints from Bruce and others, I wrongly assumed that they were all included in the new release. Nowhere did I see that these would be a separate payware addition. Wanted the Brubaker model but am not willing to spend another $10 just to get it. Perhaps someone else will do a freeware repaint of that squadron, great. But the model at $30 plus the $10 for the repaints, just is not worth it to me. The number of bug fixes that need to be released is glaring. Released to soon. Some like the nav lights being bigger than basketballs should have been addressed as well as the mirrioring of right left images on the fuselage. They overlooked the hot key for the gps key, having it listed under two number 05. Small details that should have been handled before putting up for sale. Also when the sim sarts with the F9f at the airport of choice, I get a green bar that says simconnect was not started, for what I don't know, never had that message before. They are other issues with it as well, you can check out their forum if you want to see more. I should have checked more closely myself, had the repaints been listed on the for sale page at additional cost, I would have passed on this one. Too bad, I was looking forward to it.

I've no connection with Vertigo and I'm not telling you what to like or dislike, but I distinctly remember that the (the info on) repaint pack was up on the website even before the main product.
 
First time I have logged on to their site, was last nite and I went to the store page clicked on the f9f and bought it, did not see the repaints till later on their forum when I was looking for bug fixes.
 
dharris "The number of bug fixes that need to be released is glaring."

We've had 4 bugs reported which will be corrected in an update, I would put that down as good customer service, if it wasn't we wouldn't release a update. Bugs will be in any release regardless of who the development team or publisher will be, whether it be vstudios or ubi soft.
 
Will the lights be toned down a bit?

I am really looking forward to the Panther and Bearcat patches. Both are really close to being outstanding addons. :jump:
 
Just upped a small update for the cockpit at AVSIM and Flightsim.com ([LINESTRIKE]will upload here once stuff is solved by Ickie [/LINESTRIKE](give the man a great applause for his effort to fight of a *** attack at this site!!!)).
Edit: Uploaded here as well

It places the text "NO HAND HOLD" just below the gunsight reflector, as was usual in American 40's and 50's combat aircraft. Hope you like this.....

I have a question for You , could someone to land on the carrier without crash (Nimitz, Ark Royal ect?). Always when I landed, I had a crash on the deck (Im sure with speed, angle of attack). Reason for me - front gear collapses and body of F9F causes crash (front gear is too weak???). I have crashes detect option "On" in FSX. Maybe my mistake but I tried this 15 times and 100% of crashes after catches cable.

It happens when the hook of F9F is blocked on the deck and aircraft jumps back od the deck (normal behavior in FSX).
Is a bug or I do something wrong?
Thx for reply

Merci René,

I was hoping for this "NO HAND HOLD" that I was used to see on Buck Danny's planes from way back yonder... :jump:

Definitely looking forward to your next Panther skins...

Very nice screenshot's YoYo. :salute:
Btw, where did you get that great looking Ark Royal from?

Personally i have not landed (or started for that matter) on a carrier yet. I'm still looking for a nice carrier that fits the F9F well in FSX. Suggestions anyone?
 
NP. Give me feedback if You land without crash :wiggle: (dameges 'on' in FSX :) ). After installation You can take Gibraltar Airfield 9:00, Monday each season. You will find carrier in the bay.
 
On patrol now, and will give feedback.
What is the best free- or payware program to handle carrier ops in FSX (SP2/acceleration)?
In FS9 i had the little piece of software that came with the FlightDeck series from Abacus. Is there an FSX SP2 or Acceleration version available?
 
For HMS Ark Royal IV I propose to use this skin from Ark Royal :), can find on Flightsim
