Grumman F7F - nice cat

[emfrat]

This is the FSX Native / P3D version of the Shupe/SOH Team Tigercat...been waiting a long time for this

[Ian Warren]

Mike I was looking at that today, I was twiddling with Milton teams Ventura ... another goodie

[emfrat]

Yep - and there's an FSX native Lodestar in the pipeline too....

[Ian Warren]

Be a goodie .. sorta helping with some areas there , but the Tigercat .. KICKS ASS! ... have a great book about the night fight operations in Korea , this is were my father first saw the type .. he was based just outside 'K-13' better known as Kimpo.

here's a 'what if...' version, hope you like it:

I like that JK the Japanese were in real trouble had WWII progressed quite a few Korean war night fighter paints tho the midnight black would hide a lot off detail.

[Ian Warren]

I think this video sums up the power off the engines, puts it perspective with those 2100HP engines , with it 4 X 0.5 in the nose and 4 X 20mm in the wings

Watch on youtube.com

Very nice vid Ian. Such a thin wing to support those heavy donks.
Nice model from Milton and the team....as usual.

Its great what Milton is doing here, really hocked into the more aggressive lessor (well to many) known aircraft , I got to have a look at this one today, I have not been doing much FS for the last month ... I sorta excited to hear the engine , if its a little dull I have the ideal replacement.

I had a little play this afternoon , another great freeware, Its great the warload it carry's .. impressive 200 rounds per gun .... that is the 20mm cannon alone ... were for example you get a early Spitfire with only 60 or the Mk14's run a round with 120 RPG .. , then to finish the Tigercat's punch ... add four off those whooping 0.5 Browning's tho with only 300 RPG ... won't be much off anything left after that .

you'll find my kiwicat paint here: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/fil ... cat-rnzaf/

and the others are on OZx too

[Ian Warren]

Thanks JK , I would have doubted the New Zealand Air Force would have acquired Tigercats had the war gone on for another couple off years, with the Corsair inventory, but its a great thought.

[jankees]

The F7F-3 version is now also available, so here 's another paint for that one:

Thankyou Jan Kees - I downloaded 'Bad Kitty' as soon as I saw it this morning, but I won't get a chance to play with it until Thursday

This is a real plane which genuinely has my initials on it. Previously the best I could manage was an anagram, on a Cant Z 506 carrying the registration I-DITO

JK has uploaded an update of the Bad Kitty texture

And it looks great!



Look at the fine detail!


...and those engines - great modelling by the Shupe Team

Looking great Mike.
