Two gentle criticisms about the damage skin.

1) It would look more realistic if the damage was spread more randomly across the wings, rather than being concentrated along the thickest portion of the wing chord.

2) There should only be oil/fuel streaks on the wing surface if there is a fuel, hydraulic or oil tank underneath.

Other than that, the damage textures look very good!

@Gerd :
Nice damage model, but what a pity to damage such a nice bird !

For those who are interested the skin of the French Bearcat is available HERE.

Is the current download link still the one on the first page?  Just making sure.

I think so.
I used it to DL all the stuff and make my skins.

I modified damage skin.

nice

[SAS~Malone]

yes - very nice, Gerd!

Arrrgggghhhh !
I'm looking forward to flying the final model ... and to make some other skins !
Good job Gerd.

I was just wondering if there is any time frame yet to when all of us would be able to fly this aircraft?
This started November 10, 2010 and today is October 8, 2011. Just asking, nothing more.

when all of us would be able to fly this aircraft?

You can always pick the alpha version from download link in the first post of this thread.
It's fun to fly and a sweet teaser for the final version, which of course takes it's time.

See, that's the difference between the bunch of franken popups which we've seen lately (which I do like to a certain extend as well) and Gerd's bearcat:
Gerd started from the scratch and he takes much care to eventually provide a bug-free, historically correct and very precise IL-2 implementation of it.
I love it, and I'd rather wait another year for the final version of this one than picking a frankened wannabe.

Best regards - Mike

Hi Wad_Cutter,
Rather than complaining about the time Gerd is spending in modeling the F8F, you should support him, because he is really doing something exceptional (as  Claymore for the D520 and many others).
Of course it is very long, first because 3D modeling softwares are very complex and are difficult to handle.
Then,  keep in mind that moders, skiners and other IL2 contributors are working for free during their free time and must also handle professional and family life.
Please also consider that they want to make something as perfect as possible and spend great amount of time in fixing details that will make the model or the skin really good.
If you want things to go faster, you may offer your help to Gerd ?
Cheers.

+1. I am grateful for the massive amounts of work, skill and time he pours into this project, and am perfectly willing to wait until its finished properly.
