S!
Thanks for a wonderful beta project! I've always had a special affection for the F8F, and this model (plus the great skins created for it!) really brings it alive for me. Thanks!
Some images to show that I like the Bearcat .... (click each thumbnail for a full-sized 1680x1050 .png screenshot)
The current cockpit of the F8F-2 ... Perhaps not complete, but certainly functional
The engine modeling is outstanding!
Even shot up (and wearing custom skin and nose art), the Bearcat looks dangerous!

I got the F8F-2 Bearcat beta flying under UP3.0 RC4, by adding a new mod folder with all the files (and using the latest online buttons from SAS) within JSGME. I enable UP3RC4 in JSGME first, then enable the F8F-2 mod's folder within JSGME. Works slick as anything for single-player, but is almost certainly not online (crt=2) compatible. To go back to standard UP3RC4, simply remove the F8F entry from the activated mods in JSGME.
If anyone wants to see how I've made it work, please PM me or send me an email ( wwsandman at wingwalkers dot org ) and I'll send you a link to the package, zipped up and ready for extraction to the JSGMEMODS folder.
