    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

F7F-1 Tigercat FSX & P3D Native Released

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.
 
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...
 
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. :encouragement:

Finally! +1, TY!
 
Will the wing nav lights be "baked in" at some point, so they stay with the wing when folded?

Am really enjoying this one! :applause:

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.
 
Just pointed cat blue to the spinner model. Got Tigercinner cat.

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?).:mixed-smiley-010:

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.
