That is true and this is a flight sim, not the real world. I often get wrapped up in the hunt for the greatest accuracy and in the sim world you don't need that to have fun. It is a nice screen shot.
Oh, by the way, can I have some sharks with laser beams attached to their heads?

Helpful advice is always welcome, helped me out a great deal.

But speaking of a cat from hell, I found a nice photo of a real F6F-5K loaded with a 2000 lb bomb. USS Boxer, August, 1952. Weird seeing a Hellcat ready for launch and no one inside the cockpit.

...didn't mean for this to be so controversial!
The snap was just a moment of enjoyment of my new Vertigo Hellcat (yeh, I know it's not the latest release but I really like it!) and also my new "Atolls of Tuvalu" scenery that I had recently purchased! Don't rely on my poor screenshot; these add-ons are both fantastic and worthy additions for FSX!

Hey Dex,
I love the shot, wish my X looked like that, green with envy I am. Anyway, your shot inspired me, I've just finished a little dash around in my Fleet air arm Gannet (Hellkitty :d) bought it ages ago on disc and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me.

PS. no pics I'm afraid (cos I am)
Hey Dex,
I'm curious about the quote in your sig, from a film or something? Whilst I'm most definitely a dog person, that does sound a little harsh on olé Tiddles. Or was she the Cat from Hell you mentioned in your opening?

In defense of being "accurate", I would say that you fellows that don't give a R.A. as to if a plane is depicted correctly, I would say that there are so many inaccuarcies that have crept in about WWII aircraft that as long as I live. I will defend against them.
From the bob nosed PBYs the folding wingtip floats on the JRF, the back brace on the canopy of the Bearcat to the bombs carried by the Hellcats.
Now I lived with these aircraft and for future reference, I'd like to show them as they really were.
No jet engines on a PBY or purple TBFs thank you.
Would you like to ride in my big green tractor?.
Rich, I thinks he's referencing the fact that the Fleet Air Arm initially called Hellcats Gannets in keeping with the aircraft naming policy extant at the time. Then someone pointed out it was just confusing issues, never mind trying to order parts, so they reverted to calling them Gannets. It was at the same time they stopped calling Wildcats Martlets.
Now to see if I can mount some railguns on an F4U...
Got the cat a little while ago. Unfortunately, it dropped me down to 5-10 fps.
