We'd love to BUT the dev team are to busy flying it so not much work is being done to her, typical..

On a serious note the weapons pack is 99% completed and then it finally reaches FULL beta.

Dakka dakka dakka!

The gunnery system is totally configurable and includes different muzzle effects and sounds, depending on the weapons loaded (M2 versus M3). Firing the guns will deplete the ammunition loaded (again gun dependant), and in turn will dynamically affect the weight of the aeroplane.

Tally ho!

Are any of us going to be able to afford to buy this when you've done adding all these lovely additional features :jump:

Yeah nothing expensive maybe a couple of $ over our entry level price which is usually $32

Hi Deano

Will the Pilot have different textures than on previous products? I always thought the shading made him look scorched when the canopies were opened. I also see from one of Dan's pics that the leather helmit looks a bit shiney.

Fantastic looking aircraft and look forward to buying it. :ernae:
 
we have'nt done any work to the pilot textures this time around, mainly concentrated on the F8F.
 
Pilot shading and shine has now been modified. As Dean mentioned- focus has been on the aeroplane and associated systems, thus far!

This model just gets better and better... I see even the rotating prop hub looks better now. I've always liked the Bearcat. Remember buying the plans for a Scale control line flying model about 25 years ago which I never got round to building...I'm looking forward to enjoying using this instead.

I can see that aircraft 203-C you keep showing being a favourite in use... In most packages there are always one or two you just keep going back to when your in the mood to fly a certain plane... with the hawk it was the two French ones that get used most and in the Hellcat there are a couple there that get used most often. Same with Dauntless.

The hub was indeed changed on the basis of remarks by followers here ;-)

In the picture above the prop and hub are shown in a lower-speed state (just over idle in that case).

Out of all the aircraft in the package, that one is the only one to [correctly] wear the bare exhaust panel. My spidey sense told me it would be picked up, so I prepared another shot (sans photoshop).
