Author Topic: When will F6F Hellcat cockpit be finished? (Read 1122 times)

F6F has one of the oldest looking cockpits and includes the wrong front arc with too long vertical bar. Also from the outside it looks dated compared to the new AHII standard.

Definitly one the leading candidates for graphical upgrade. I guess they'll do it and give us F6F-3 at the same time (like the F4u1A that came with the new hogs).

The Zero and the Hellcat probably the oldest planes.

imo The 152 has the most dated looks and should get fixed, but the F6 is more used so maybe it should take priority.

"It's selfish, but that's why I voted against the yak3... I fly the yak9u pretty much exclusively, and I didn't want them to redo the yaks and add in huge canopy struts to get in the way of my view."

Hmm, good plan, but the Yak-3 is the one without the struts, and the Yak-9U is the one with them.

...oops.

For example C.202, C.205 and Yak-9U are older than the Hellcat...La-5 too but it had a cockpit facelift in AHI.

There are still loads of planes to be redone.

One good way to do them would be the order they were introduced.

N1K2-J, C-47A and B-26B are all v1.0 releases. La-5FN is a slight upgrade over v1.0.

Hellcat and A6M5b came later. v1.05 IIRC.

No, fix the ones that suffer the most in the FM department from the upgrade first (IMO)

Yknurd · « **Reply #25 on:** April 11, 2007, 03:33:57 PM »

NO!!! I DEMAND THAT THE C-47 COCKPIT ALSO BE REMODELED.

Nah... The M3 is deffinately by far the most in need of an upgrad. I keep hitting my monitor with my beer when I go to set it down thinking I am putting it in a cup holder on the driver dash board view.

I dont have this problem with aircraft because there are all kinds of gages and switches and stuff in the view so I dont have any place to put my beer down on.

You're drinking and driving troops?
Explains all the rolled M3s I keep seeing.

The cockpit canopy framework for the F4u depleted the iron supply. They are currently mining to replenish the stockpile to begin more framework on other planes.

The really strange thing is, the Ki-84, Fw190, Bf109s and the new P-47, P-38, F4Us have a very real feel of 'bulk' concerning cockpit frames. They are indeed a hinderance when compared to the older AH1 cockpits, but the specs seem to be real enough and people generally accept it as it is.

But the Spits and P-51s...

...whenever I am in those two planes I wonder.. why is it that only these two planes have virtually zero-depth/bulk cockpit frames? All of the planes listed above - Ki84, 190, 109, P47, P38, F4U.. etc etc.. have a much more bulkier, more in-depth depiction of cockpit frames, but for some reason the P-51 and the Spitfire cockpit frames are as thin as old AH1 frames (on a relative scale).
