@expat.
As You see, the screen was edited :].

 

[jankees]

but a brilliant screenie anyway, thank you!

 

[expat]

Ah, I see now - naturally think it was the TEXT in a post that has been edited when it says "EDITED". Anyway, even as a an edited screenie, it is impressive! Not sure how you did it but it looks incredibly real.

Possible cover .

The answer for the question what is a scenery: Marianas 1945 of Stovall.

 

[expat]

Wonderful!!

 

[Dutcheeseblend]

Looks wonderful YoYo!

To the dev team, especially Gordon: we should somehow put TacPack logo's in the release screenies, if there's TP on the bird. And, in the readme files point to the TP website.

Thank you so much, GMan & Team, for this great plane! I took off on my first flight and made a 3 wire trap on the CV6. That cannot have been me, so it must have been the plane. I even forgot to make a screenshot...

This keys combination works for me (switches from VC not), thanks a lot!

"Midway Aircraft Carriers".

Hi YOYO! Beautiful shots! One question : the Midway carriers triplepack contains pilotable ships. How do you manage to use them with AI Carriers?

I did small mod:

btw. I use it with TackPack (better option for carriers for me like speed and wind direction) but You can create formation with AICarr2 also.

Thanks to all! Also I managed to get a working gear indicator by copying some extra bmp files from an earlier Tigercat version. These I have attached and you need to put them in the ST_F7F folder in the panel.F7F folder. Cheers.

Awesome, I've added the textures to the working file. The next group of models will have the functional gear indicator.

Thank you sir.

Will the wing nav lights be "baked in" at some point, so they stay with the wing when folded?

Am really enjoying this one!

I'm glad you like the conversion so far.

The baked in lights are on my list of mods for the F7F-3. This will require that I make a custom set of lights that I can affix to the wing lights in the model. Also looking at an updated landing light ala Ant's Trojan or the current Carenado planes.

Someone knows if the F7F with spinners was built only as test plane or if was used in line? Because I've
found not many photos in the web of this variant. The bulk of the Tigercat was without spinners, ( or I'm wrong?).

The service planes never ran this spinner, although there are some photos of early F7F-1 planes with the larger spinner that was used on the test mule. You are correct that the spinner was abandoned for service aircraft.

I modeled the "La Patrona" spinner for the upcoming F7F-3 aircraft, but included it in the F7F-1 package just for fun. It appears that the "what if " paints favor this spinner...it is a very attractive package.
