I see this thread is a bit moldy but give that the Buckeye is about to come out, what's the status of this gem of an airplane? I haven't heard anything for a while.
I haven't heard a thing about the status of the Helldiver. But it won't make much of a diffrence to me anyways. My version of FSX has s**t the bed and Microsoft won't allow any refills. Anyone got a copy thry'll sell cheap?
It has been yonks since any news has been released regarding the Helldiver. Really hope the project is still underway. So, just to keep the thread alive, here's a classic photo.
Nobody asked me but the Beast never had a 50 cal. machine gun. Too awkward and didn't fire enough. Twin.30s were preferred. They got a lot more ammo out there and faster to move . Plus you show the tail hook half way extended. It's either stowed or deployed.. Only the CAF one has it locked half way out. Their airplane is a screwed up mess. The pilots straps are too white. They were a kind of grayish material but got pretty stained with abuse. When are you going to release it? I'll be 85 in a couple of months. Now I got only one eye to see with. I sure wish I was in the trial period. But then again I know too much about the plane. Like it was full of "no step-no push" signs. The insides of the dive flaps were painted red. The interior should be a yellowish green zinc chromate. It looks like you've used the exterior zinc chromate. (Like the CAF plane) the landing gear and wells had a darker zinc chromate than the interior.
