F8F-2 BEARCAT
CFS3 - V2.82.100
AvHistory 1% Aircraft General Statement and Installation Instructions
It is the intention of the AvHistory 1% project to over time build the most accurate aircraft that the CFS3 software can support. The development of a 1% aircraft requires specific and in many cases dramatic changes to the aircraft delivered with the MS game as well as the addition of aircraft built from the ground up by third parties which were never included in the original MS game. We believe that because the AvHistory 1% aircraft are materially different they should not be mixed with "box stock" aircraft in online combat.
All the planes 1% listed for download are qualified for use in our AvHistory William Tell Meet Air Combat Ladder. For information and to get the sign up sheet for the ladder please go to the LINKS section at http://www.avhistory.org
F8F-2 BEARCAT
This aircraft was built by Gregory SARGE Pierson & Jerry SPARKS Beckwith using version 2.82.100 of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line process. It is based on Jerry's excellent custom built Gmax F8F-2 visual.
The F8F-2 has been painted by Dan Swart in the markings for BuAer No. 121664, assigned to the VF-17 - JOLLY ROGERS which served aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV-42) in 1949. These aircraft never saw combat in USN service but were flown by the French in Viet Nam.
The most refined of the "Cats" to come from Grumman's den of fighter aircraft for World War II, the F8F Bearcat just missed flying in that war. They were highly maneuverable, had a fantastic rate of climb, could carry a wide range of external stores and could fly 1,830 miles with a centerline fuel tank. The Grumman Bearcat was the last piston-engine fighter to be used by the U.S. Navy.
F8F-2 BEARCATS were used by French in Indochina and by Royal Thai and Burmese air forces.
