A Cat from Hell?

cripes....

...all I can say if it was me that posted the pic, I'd certainly think twice before I posted another.

PS. I like the pic, Hellcat's and bombs on planes, ticks my boxes, :ernae:
 
Jamie's comment says it all. I think the tone was set in an early stage. I'd think twice to put in another shot. The first comments didn't really reflect the adagium of this site: 'Let being helpful be more important than being right,' did they?

I agree as well, I was thinking of posting some screenshots of a certain aircraft in FSX that wasn't in a strictly real situation, but now I am having second thoughts.........

Possibly. I'd like to hear of examples of being helpful being better than being right.

Being right usually nails it. if you're wrong, you're not very helpful, are you? Does post #2 fulfill either criteria?

What's with all of the complaining? If Dexdoggy wants to fly his Hellcat in FSX with bombs, rockets, arrows, nukes and laser beams strapped under the wings then that's just peachy, that's his prerogative.

I'd hazard a guess and say he does it because it's fun and because he can. Nothing else needs to be said really.

That is true and this is a flight sim, not the real world. I often get wrapped up in the hunt for the greatest accuracy and in the sim world you don't need that to have fun. It is a nice screen shot.

Oh, by the way, can I have some sharks with laser beams attached to their heads?

But speaking of a cat from hell, I found a nice photo of a real F6F-5K loaded with a 2000 lb bomb. USS Boxer, August, 1952. Weird seeing a Hellcat ready for launch and no one inside the cockpit.

Have you noticed how distorted the wheels are in that photo! Am I right in thinking the pod under the wing is for the TV camera for the controller?

I'm sure she's on the heavy side with the remote control equipment plus the big bomb. The pod under the wing is a tv pod.
 
...didn't mean for this to be so controversial! :icon_lol:

The snap was just a moment of enjoyment of my new Vertigo Hellcat (yeh, I know it's not the latest release but I really like it!) and also my new "Atolls of Tuvalu" scenery that I had recently purchased! Don't rely on my poor screenshot; these add-ons are both fantastic and worthy additions for FSX!

The add on scenery package explains the nice looking water, shallows, and coastal waves. Nice colors too. :cool:

Love,love.love the screenshot.PLEASE keep them coming!! It's SO refreashing hearing about people enjoying FSX instead of the other way around.
Thank You for your screenshot and post Dexdoggy!
Happy Holidays to you! :)
 
Hey Dex,

I love the shot, wish my X looked like that, green with envy I am. Anyway, your shot inspired me, I've just finished a little dash around in my Fleet air arm Gannet (Hellkitty :d) bought it ages ago on disc and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me.

Jamie

PS. no pics I'm afraid (cos I am)
 
Hey Dex,

I'm curious about the quote in your sig, from a film or something? Whilst I'm most definitely a dog person, that does sound a little harsh on olé Tiddles. Or was she the Cat from Hell you mentioned in your opening?
