Aeroplane Heaven new Grumman F3F-2!

Just e-mailed Aeroplane Heaven...unable to find the patch anywhere...either pc pilot or AH. Think they should advise clients about patches...

Regards

PS: got it...but they should tell people how....
 
Sorry, I thought we had... this from earlier in this thread...

"Just updated our own customers ( we love you all equally but only in a platonic way mind you ) so they should receive their links in their email inboxes. The vendors have been notified and the files been uploaded to their servers. We're working on a new idea/layout section on the product pages so it will be easier for people to check updates/upgrades/offers with their products, that isnt online just yet though."
 
Great just got better...got Ver 1.1 now. Just need that superb repaint of yours YoYo to complement it.

Bazzar... I noticed on the Advertizing banner in the shop I used, it showed an F3F with the Corky the Cat emblem (Is that VF3... I don't know) but I didn't see one of those in the product... Is that paint available anywhere?

Not released yet, sorry. I found Today one "bug" with markings so this skin of Marine Corps VMF-2 needs improve.... but on my desktop is a new skin. Now it's the time for US Navy and BiG "E". This plane was used also in "Dive Bomber" movie from 1941:


Some of new weathering effects, proper labeling, new spec and alpha files for better metal effects and for sure, the new pin up Girl ; ).

It looks neat and really nice in bare metal, but the Navy never operated these or any of their other carrier aircraft in bare metal, they were all silver-painted (anodized skins below). They had to be this way, operating in salty air/sea conditions.

Hmmm, that's interestng, which shop? No idea where they got that from, we certainly haven't ever used the Corky emblem, even in the original!:engel016:
 
A note to european customers:

I received an email from PCAviator a few mintues ago. The update is ready for distribution, downloading right now!


Cheers,

It was the flightsim.com shop. Its no biggy... I just liked the look of it. I've made a screen grab I can send you if you pm your email but you should be able to see it if you go to the shop front page and look at the animated banner at the top.

Good grief. They've used a plastic model of an F3F-1 :dizzy: Now people will write asking why we don't have bumps on the cowling! We sent them a trailer load of screenshots.:engel016:

That made me laugh:biggrin-new:

I'm not sure if this was the plan (I guess it was) but the update from PCA wasn't an update as such.. it was a full download. V1.1 appears to be working as prescribed. I noticed a hole in the fuse in one of the camera views (VC-down-right .. probably mentioned here before) but it's not a problem (for me). The new 'higher' landing view works ok. Didn't think it was going to but it does.

VF-3 "Felix the Cat" would make a good "what-if" paint job for the F3F-2, as in what if VF-3 had upgraded to -2's instead of keeping their original -1's into 1940. Let somebody else paint it, so the rivet-counters don't complain that AH is putting bogus colors on their products. :biggrin-new:

Yep, its a full download file, not a patch only. You must uninstall the old version in the first.
Every model for FSX/P3D has a two 3D external models always. This from VC has simplified 3D external model for better FPS and not as accurate like second external model (btw. check this post too: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...Grumman-F3F-2!&p=950589&viewfull=1#post950589 to the end).

Btw. something for desktop wallpaper (full resolution 2560x1440):
