The manual indicates the dial changes settings for the gunsight. When I put my mouse over it indicates that the gunsight if off. I click on it but no power to the sight. Just can't turn the darn thing on.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Um..didnt the F8F bearcat come with a P&W R-2800 "C" series engine? that would be the one with the two piece nose case? am I looking too closely?http://www.airliners.net/photo/Grumman-F8F-2-Bearcat/1749570/&sid=53f25b5862dd266510b0e54aec290940
In my opinion, yes. It's a cartoon airplane...a very nice looking one with animations that you can control...but still a cartoon airplane none-the-less. Don't take it so seriously. That's what my wife keeps telling me when I get all excited about a sim plane or a skin I do for one. It's all just a cartoon, not real life.

DeanO, two guys go off half-cocked on an assumption and you abandon the whole forum? That's disappointing.
FYI, I'd have never known about your planes if it wasn't from Sim-Outhouse. I've bought the Hellcat, I'll probably buy the Bearcat (not sure I'll fly it $36 worth), and I'll definitely buy the Panther (and any other 50's jets you release!).
This is the Internet. Anything that's not heavily moderated on the Internet is at least 20% half-cocked bitching about things. And anyone who's braved the Intarwebs for more than a few months (or days) knows this and can tune out the unreasonable or unfounded content.
So please realize your presence on Sim-Outhouse results in sales for you, and it's hardly a toxic environment as far as the Internet goes. (I'd suggest you go read the neogaf gaming forums if you want to see negativity! Even with rivet counting and suppositions, this is still one of the friendliest forums on the net.)
Stick around, ignore or politely counter the unreasonable posts when they happen, and enjoy the 80%+ that is flight sim enthusiasm here.

That is Nutts, Deano, it about the only thing us for want of better words but "Pro simmers" have is the repaints for free. I personally spent thousands of pounds on models and scenery not even including what we have to spend even to run this sim at a high level! No disrespect intended to you or Vertigo Deano, but some of the best repaints ever made for models were 3rd party and free, denying us that right is well a sin in my book mate!
Just my two pence!
I think it is important to note that Vertigo Studios prices have not changed. The price you are seeing is a product of the exchange rate.
My read is that Deano has not abandoned SOH but just excluded himself from any further discussion on the topic that had generated some off topic comments.

Peter;
Repaint will be available, free repaints will be available. Nothing to worry about.

It's unbelievable what this community has become lately. I'm very disapointed with some peoples attitudes. Frankely I don't even know why add-on creators even bother anymore. People think they're getting rich doing what they do. The reality is they do it because they love to and they'll never become rich in the process. The vendors have the right to place what ever price they see fit on their creation. They determine the time and effort that went into a project and place a value on it. If we don't like it we don't have to buy it!
Please, next time you go to work and the boss asks you to do some extra work tell him you'll do it for free! Because why should anyone be rewarded for extra effort and time. As if that will ever happen!
We're the lucky ones!!

I am guessing you don't have Paypal, Me either.
If they do like they usually do they will release it in a few weeks at other vendors like The Flightsim pilot shop Etc.
We non Paypal-ers just have to wait.

Ok after being expained it's a repaint pack not being charged to actually repaint the Bearcat, for that I grasped the wrong end of the stick and hold my hands up! OK!!!

There is a lot of immaturity in this thread and that includes you Deano. Just because a few people misinterpreted your statement that is no reason to "take your ball and go home". As a business operator you can not simply duck into your shell just because the heat is turned up. You have an opportunity here at SOH to primer your product as well as offer direct customer support. Currently there is a thread in this forum about the subject of customer support and how very few people are not happy with the "support ticket" system. So if you feel your departure from this forum along with your parting comments about advising your customer base to use the support ticket system for support issues, is going to punish us here I think you are mistaking. The only person you are alienating is yourself. Acting on emotions is never a smart business move. I would advise you to think about sticking around.
As for the people who were complaining about the paint kit-price issue. I think some of your acted prematurely and started in on the guy without fully reading what the man wrote. I am not saying this was not the thread to disagree with the guy. I think this is actually the perfect thread to disagree with the guy. What I am saying is some of the comments came across pretty pointed. There is a way to relay your disagreement without being so pointed.
I haven't had the chance to buy the F8F yet, but I will hopefully this weekend. Those of you who were saying that you do not have a paypal account. You do not have to have a paypal account to use paypal. Since VS has a PP account you just use your credit card like normal, you check out like you would at a normal online retailer.

You're assumption/observation is wrong! It's about continued immaturity by people who don't have the complete story but think they do. It's about continued criticisms with out all the facts. It's about a history of tactless people who would rather complain than constructively help. I don't blame Deano one bit for being fed up!
Here's an idea, lets get back on track, this was my F8F release thread!

I concur, let's get back on track. I would hate to see a moderator have to clean up a thread because of some misunderstandings, or even worse, lock it.
Regardless, I put in my order this evening. Can't wait to get the plane and I hope the money goes to a good cause.

It wasn't an assumption it was an observation. :salute:
A $36 cartoon..should have the correct engine..right? well maybe they take $2 less with the wrong engine, Maybe I pay with cartoon money for it.
