Deano, I can't quit flying this plane! I think the Hellcat is going to be a little jealous for a while, as I'll be punching holes in the sky with your SBD... As a sidenote, I noticed the early war scheme lacks markings on the wing bottoms.. I can't document it either way, bacause I have no photos of the underside of this particular aircraft. Just seemed a bit odd to me.. Regardless, I'll be flying nothing else for a good while. Thanks for putting so much love and hard work into this creation. I assure you that every bead of sweat and case of heartburn that you and your team endured during development has helped this plane mature into one of the most awesome planes I've ever flown.:medals::medals::medals::medals:
 
I don't know why they wasted thier time with the SBD which was obsolete when the war started. It couldn't keep up with the Hellcat. Couldn't fold it's wings and got it's ass shot off in 1942. They would been better off building a SB2C that sank more ships than any other aircraft.
 
Helldiver, while it's true the SB2C carried on after the SBD, and was a much more capable aircraft, I don't think VS wasted their time. Both types have their place in history, although I will agree the Helldiver has not gotten the attention in FS that the SBD has attracted. Perhaps soon someone will take up the torch and bring the SB2C to life in FS like the SBD. I would very much like to see it myself, and I know all the WWII US Navy fans here would, too. I would happily pay for one... BTW, Helldiver, thank you for your service, my friend!:medals:

I love your passion for the SB2C :salute:

But i think the Dauntless would be the first choice for me if I were a producer.
 
Congratulations Deano & Co. Another quality warbird added to my growing collection, the boss will soon be stopping my pocket money LOL:icon_lol:. Really looking forward to the P-36 and particularly the Wildcat. Only the Bearcat and Tigercat to go then before you move onto the jets or back to the biplanes LOL! :applause::applause::icon29::applause:
 
Awesome Job, The texture weathering is to die for. :salute:
I have 21 screenshots of the SBD at Webshots if anyone is interested: http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2160867630012641883Sfdegm Be sure to click on the image and select "Full Size". All images are 1920 x 1200 resolution.

Thank You Very Much, for the SBD and for the Aircraft you have coming down the pike. :jump:

Deano, I have a couple of questions "not meant as criticism".
1. Is it possible to smooth the roundness of the Cowl Exterior?
2. Is there a missing texture/texture error on the Intake on top of the Cowl?
This shot shows what I am talking about: http://image81.webshots.com/81/7/80/92/2079780920012641883auRPdW_fs.jpg

Thank You Again for the awesome plane!

It only proves what distortion that has taken place since WWII happened. You people have a slant on the war that never happened. You read your funny books. written by people that never were around, and you believe it to be the truth.

I know what happened.
 
Hi Old Crow, Id love to help you out, but I cant see the images.

So did the Dauntless enter the war before the SB2C or after?
Which aircraft was produced in the largest numbers?
 
Saturday I was able to pick this up, and I have enjoyed a few flights already. The model looks great. Being a bit of an older, slower plane is nice given my piloting skills at this time. I was even able to land it on a carrier on my first try.

The Wildcat, also outdated technology when the war began, will also be a welcome addition. It will be great to fly it onto my Gambier Bay model since Wildcats were used on the CVE's.
