This Bearcat, while looking very good, is a bit distorted, just like if it was compressed from nose to tail. Is it the model or the way screenshots are resized before posting ?

Pictures of the real one here to compare: http://www.google.com/images?hl=fr&source=hp&biw=1016&bih=568&q=F8F+bearcat&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=

This F8F is developed to meet the three view. ;)
Therefore, I think that F8F's look short because of the IL-2 3D effect. :-\

I also think the distortion is caused by wide FOW that makes left wing look long.

BTW, will this great plane one day get proper damage model and maybe even possibility to use overlay markings for different countries? This one with only numbers is great for USA slot, but I hope to see a multi slot model with markings one day.

I also have issues with the beta version exploding pretty easily when engine gets hit by a bullet from bomber's defensive armament.

I'm glad to hear your OK Gerd. The F2G Super Corsair is looking great. Here's something that might help with the canopy. I read this in a book about the Corsair development.

A Engineer from Republic (Makers of the P-47) came to Vought with a bubble canopy from a P-47 and the blueprints, and pressure specs also. It was the whole canopy, including the front windshield.
If you look at a picture of a P-47-D25 with the bubble canopy, and a picture of a F2G Super Corsair with the bubble canopy they have the exact same canopy including the front windshield.

I don't know if you could use the bubble canopy from the game or not, but you'll have a basic idea where to start.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

rustydawg

Thank  Information of F2G.
I think that F2G have two type canopies (P47 conpatible & F2G original).
Eary type F2G have P47 conpatible canopy.
But,Late type F2G have original canopy.
