Milton Shupe F7F Tigercat Re-Mastered by Gordon Madison

[gman5250]

Update:

I have now fully recovered/rebuilt/re-mastered all of my aircraft that I lost in my data crash. Milton's Tigercat, which was never published, was the last one to finish before I begin releasing all of my work, including the models I have upgraded at the request of Manfred Jahn. It has been a long and painstaking process, but worth it in the end as all of the models are now actually much better than the originals that were lost.

Now I am ready to begin uploading the open betas over the course of the next few days...baring internet outages due to weather or other nefarious reasons.

A teaser for your enjoyment. This is a short night color study featuring the Milton Shupe Grumman F7F Tigercat which I have now completed and will release for FSX, P3Dv3, V4 and for Prepar3Dv5. This is the full four channel PBR model in V5, but the others are more or less identical. Please excuse the tragic YT compression that pretty much ruins night video rendering, leaving blocky artifacts over what is actually a very lovely video, so please don't frag me over the questionable quality. Full video coming on the heels of this one.

Enjoy and comments welcome.

Awesome news! I had no idea you were at the point of recovering all the lost data. Congratulations for that, and I think we'll all be waiting anxiously to see the upcoming releases!

Thank you for the congrats and for being patient waiting for the aircraft. I focused on the aircraft because it has always been my intention to honor the original authors who granted me the permissions. Reviving the lost sceneries will be an enormous undertaking, but will be put on the burner once the aircraft are certified airworthy and available for everyone. The good news is that the scenery you see in the video, Reno Tahoe International, is one of a few that I have been able to partially resurrect from the "pile" of retrieved data.

So glad you were able to retrieve data from that mess. Thanks for all your hard work. Looking forward to the plane.

Gman....good to hear you've recovered and are back at it....

On a side note...December 4 was a 'bad day' for me. Only saving grace was my back-up plans were working just fine....lost about 6 hours of email [probably were a few....dunno]...
...but...cost me about 2 grand..... primarily lost my CPU and GPU .... theory is a spike.... through my sound system [was the only thing not going through a UPS]...

Amazing! Top Notch work as always.

Did you give up on your Howard in Metal with rivets project for P3D? I knew you were an all out MSFS devotee.

Glad to hear that the other projects are coming along as well. Was wondering if you fell off the planet...

Worked OK for me, Butch!

In FF, If I opened it in a new private window, it will work!

Anyway, that is a really great video. I've never seen something as fantastic as this.

Great job Gordon. Don't guess it will work for P3D V4.5 ......

The models will begin coming in the next few days, and will continue in open beta until any/all bugs are chased out.

As promised, a full video preview of the Tigercat showing the model in all her glory.

Enjoy

Hi,
you misunderstood me, I was talking about the length of the video. English is not my native language, of course!

As I recall, V4.5 does support the four channel PBR model Butch. If not, I will be releasing a version that will be compatible with earlier versions. Same goes for the other models as well. And remember....I did a whiskerless MJ DAK too. Just for you.

All will be forthcoming in the immediate future...baring I get struck with an asteroid, abducted by reptilian aliens or succumb to..."The Bugg!!!"

As . And remember....I did a whiskerless MJ DAK too. Just for you.

Well as we say here in the South, bless your heart.... That is good news and what a surprise....

BTW, It must of been old timers day here as I got my Covid shot (Moderna) yesterday, will get #2 in a few weeks.

With an attitude of gratitude, I thank you for what you have done.


Thank you "G"
