Nope.

But swap the F for a P and you get closer to the truth.

Re.2000, inspired by the P-35. Great design compared to other italian fighters from the early 40s, but with an unrealiable engine and, as usual, quite underarmed. Was the bases for further developments that culimated in the best italian fighter of WW2, the Re.2005.
 
Yep!

I have started with the Catapult variant, used by Regia Aerinautica in a similar way to the CAM (Catapult Aircraft Merchantman) Hurricanes.
External model is progressing, VC will follow and, last but not least, the model for the mother-ship, seaplane tender G.Miraglia.

The landing gear is there, just locked up because that was the case for catapult launch.
Under belly a typical italian weapon, the Spezzoniera Nardi; full tacpack capability included.
 
Virtual cockpit is progressing nicely ...

I have been having company ...
Thanks to Manuele Villa that helped in shaping up the panel and historical research
Thanks to Rob Barendregt that has made a custom set of gauges for the catapult launch

but I might need help again; anyone willing to

- beta test the package
- repaint in swedish/hungarian colors

there are plenty of nice schemes for this airplane.

Corrado, since the Re.2000 is so close to the original Seversky P-35, what are the chances you could do an updated P-35 at a later date?

Slim.

How proficient are you with Gmax? I could send you the source code to mod.

Main problem would be the virtual cockpit that is completely different.

the last beta. Gauges are entirely in italian, and historically accurate, can't be reused as is.

Following with interest. Great looking aircraft and model of the prototype. Am I right in understanding this to be an fsx native model and you will be able to catapult launch from a ship? Often thought it would be good to have this facility for models like Tim Conrads kingfisher. With aircraft of this type was it a case that if they had to be launched from a ship to far from a base they had to ditch in the sea near one of the ships?

FSX native, yes.

You'll launch from a very short railway on seaplane tender Giuseppe Miraglia. Added a couple shots, follow previous link.
It was used also on italian battleships and cruisers, in a similar role to the CAM hurricanes. This was a (useless) workaround for the lack of carriers in the italian navy (Regia Marina) during wwii.
Once completed the mission, intercept or recon, the plane was supposed to land at a mainland airport. If ditched it was lost, no recovery was planned.
We, me and Rob, have also added a nice vapour effect during launch, mirroring the real thing.

A normal, terrestrial version is also planned.

I wish I could do the Hungarian and Swedish textures but the format of the textures (4096 x 4096) is too big for my computer to handle.

Sorry,
Huub
 
What about shrinking them to 2048?
At 4096 size I have only a few, mostly they are 1024.

If you feel like trying I'll send you a proper paintkit.

Corrado
 
I have some very good reference sources on the Hungarian Re 2000. I'm a bit busy right now, but I would love to paint it up in Hungarian colors when time permit.
And 4096, no problem :)
 
I hadn't realized there was a link above where you could download a beta... Do you want any feedback here or in private by say p.m.? Only had a little time on it so far but loving it Corrado.

I think the P35 would be a complete new model, had a browse through my old issues of of Air Enthusiast and the RE2000 is far more sleek than 'Old Humpy'.
Squint?
How about closing your eyes instead.
:encouragement:
