Revised F8F

Hi chaps,

Wait no longer and instead enjoy these shots.

Many things have been revised, most notably the pilot's stature, canopy (both parts) and tail.

I loved the old F3F-3 Gulf Hawk...I remember building the big 1/32 scale monogram kit when I was a wee grommet..you could pull the prop out about 1/8" and engage the gears that raised and lowered the main landing gear.

I hope to one day see all of Roy Grummans famous planes in FSX
 
Thanks for going to the trouble of the rework on the F8F... It looked good before but now... a must have for the hangar.

That's really looking good.

Will there be complex engine and systems management?

Will there be a sound set made from an actual F8F Bearcat?

I won't ask when it will be released as the standard answer, at least in the Il2 sim world, is "two weeks, be sure". :icon_lol:

Examine the two photos and pick out what canopy looks real.

you must remember that I am using a first production test model (which has neither sound or gauges)that hasn't even seen a beta tester let alone finished being modeled yet. I am sure that Deano and his bunch of merry men have taken all sugestions in, for the final build.

Hi chaps,

Bruce is correct- please do not keep bringing up the old model. As seen in the last screenshots, the issues are now fixed.

Best
Dan.
