F7F Tigercat New VC for FSX & P3D

Wow, that looks as real as it can get!

What is that large, square gauge in the center of the front panel, if I may ask?

Cheers,
Mark

"looks a real as it can get"
Building a VC is a new experience for me, but I am trying to learn the process and do it well. Thanks Mark.

Large Square Gauge:
That is the Radar Repeat Indicator. There were several variants used, but I got this one from the POH. I'm not sure when the different models were used, so more research will determine if this is the correct one. There is a different version in the two seat version, but I haven't gotten to that point.

I've got quite a few good photos of cockpits, and of course they are all outfitted with different gun sights, radar and other instrumentation, but this one lays out nicely for me.
I'll need to build the actual gauge for this display. More learning curves. :encouragement:
 
I want to thank you for all the posts you are doing on this model. Seeing it progress, brings us back to the reality of just how much work has to be done, and the skill and accuracy needed to complete such a project. I never take someone's work for granted, but your detailing this project brings it all up to mind, the passion needed to tackle this and the artistry you bring to your work. Kudos to you for all the hard work and dedication to your vision, fantastic work. Very appreciative. Don

You couldn't be a jerk on your worst day Dave.

It will make you extremely happy to know that I am beta testing two variants of the VC, one of which is currently in the tanker.
I'm close to making a video of the WIP, now that it is presentable. :encouragement:
 
I was happy when I first heard we were getting this kitty. I never thought that initial release would have lead to this awesome update. It's looking great. :)
 
Wawaweewah! Is niiiiiiiiiiiice!

This VC is truely gorgeous! Can't wait to fly this beauty! Take all the time you need to polish this jewel!

By the way, do you plan to release a gunsightless version for the tankers?

Edit : "I am beta testing two variants of the VC, one of which is currently in the tanker" Roger that, very much thank you for that! I got too excited to read the thread throughly...
 
Looking Great!

I also can't wait to see the final result. All the work you're putting into it is really appreciated!This will make it an even more enjoyable plane, just for flying for the sheer enjoyment of it, as well as in the RTWR, if it's permitted next year. Hope it is!Thanks for all the hard work!Pat☺
 
For Daveroo, Tanker Guy and the rest of the crew who are waiting patiently for the civilian bird.

Here's the "civie" panel and VC WIP. Long way to go yet, but she is coming along well enough for a short vid.

 
If I could get admin to pull the previous video post I'd appreciate it.

I'll shelve this project and re-direct my time towards my priority, scenery which has been neglected for far too long.
 
The detail is amazing on this video, one of the first I have seen with the detail on the propeller hubs and the whole project. Wonderful work. Thanks again, Don
