Description: F6F-5 Hellcat VF-17 aboard the USS Hornet CV-12, March - August 1945. The white nose was a temporary recognition marking for USN fighters during strikes on the Japanese mainland.

Note: VF-17 is usually associated with the Corsair. However this was the first VF-17. It was de-established on April 10, 1944. A new VF-17 squadron was re-established at Alameda Naval Air Station the same month, flying the Hellcat. It was assigned to the Hornet and participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions, destroying 146.5 Japanese aircraft from March 18, 1945 to April 17, 1945.

This is Allen's F6F-5 Late model fixing the tail texture distortions.

The model is shined and includes new air files, dp file, Wolfi's US_Pilot figure and new panel. You must delete the US_Pilot folder from your AIRCRAFT folder or it will override the pilot figure included here.

Just posted these Hellcats.

Lately I've been wondering why I bother continuing to make the effort to post new submissions. I'm usually pretty upbeat but the lackluster responses to the recent multiple posts have been discouraging. I'm taking a break before I lose interest altogether. Thanks to the very few who left comments. Cya later maybe.

Kurt,

Thank you for these wonderful repaints. I completely understand about the lack of posts...it bothers the heck of out me as well. Unless you're on the other side of this sim, you really don't know or appreciate how much work is involved. The least people can do is say thank you, rather than just download it.
 
Hello Captain,

I had during some time the same feeling about the la ck of reaction (except Kelchi and Rami), but the reward for making repaints comes fom the number of downloads you see, and I think that people download those files because they appreciate the job done to realise them.
I must confess that I'm not myself reacting to all textures, aircrafts and other files I download, so I don't complain too much....
Keep it up, we are a good lot of people who appreciate your work.

François

I hear ya, Kurt. If I lived off feedback from SOH I probably wouldn't do anywhere near the amount I've uploaded. I do stuff because it interests me, & that's enough for me - mind you, saying thanks occasionally doesn't cost anything, & I realise I don't do enough of that myself.:icon_redface:

Thanks, especially for the way you package stuff, complete with shined mdl, airfiles tweaked for AI performance etc. Not just a repainter eh!:applouse::medals::monkies:
 
I agree! Please don't feel that your work is unappreciated just because it doesn't get a lot of hits. If it makes you happy, THAT"S what is important! If you make even one other person happy with it you have accomplished something. Some of us have been doing this so long that our interests shift like the wind, and we don't stay with the same Genre for long periods anymore. I.E. CFS2 one day FSX the next.
 
I personally feel your additions are great!

Hey CPT Kurt... I know the feeling... but consider this...
I get very few favorable comments in my redo efforts... and some of those responses are often sort of negative passive aggressive types...
but I continue my efforts because they bring pleasure to a very important person.. MYSELF.. LOL
I notice few responses but also notice the number of visits in my threads... the only logical deduction is that a LOT of folks must like what I
do... (personal caress)... the fact they don't need them for their own use does not mean they don't appreciate what I do...
Sometimes folks are just not inclined to comment... just a personal preference...
Remember this... ONLY YOU CAN MAKE YOURSEF HAPPY... other folks don't really matter if you believe in what you do!

I like what you do... even though I don't much use your opus I still download them because I like what you do...
Cheers and keep up your fantastic works... they add to the pleasure of probably a "silent majority",

Capt Kurt - that VF-3 repaint has special significance for me, when I was a young person I read a work by J. Bryan III titled "Aircraft Carrier." He was, I think, on CincPac staff during the war and was aboard Yorktown during the strike on Japan you mention in the description for the texture. I remember he related the thoughts and observations of some of those who took part in the strikes, and the intel officers who tried to make sense of the info gathered by the pilots after they had returned. He said one thing that puzzled the intel guys was the almost complete lack of aerial opposition to the Navy's attacks. One of them opined one reason was because the attacks were such a surprise, but also that there was so little opposition because of the proximity to HQ, which makes everything more difficult due to "channels." That IO had a different way of saying it. The texture puts a sort of "face" on this incident for me.

We "out here" do appreciate what you do, it's the nature of the beast to not think too much about others any more unfortunately. I reckon I agree with the previous comment about noting the number of downloads and reflecting on that as a measure of the esteem in which you are held.
