What no one brought one yet , , comes with two liveries and further $15NZ for 15 others later tonight . resetting up FSX and was the first installed ... on history , followed this aircraft and many said this this could past 600 mph i a shallow dive , forgot to reset my airbrake only just saving my brand new Cat

Yeh this plane does hold a piston engine speed record does it not? An incredible aircraft. All of vertigo studios planes are exceptionaly detailed. I bought there curtiss hawk and even the cooling fins on the engine cylinders are fuly modeled yet is very good on fps. The Bearcat should be a ton of fun as its nearly twice the speed. I can only dream of an accusim version of this plane. That and the big brother the Grumman Tigercat. OOh now that would get my heart pumping.

I can only dream of an accusim version of this plane.... Reading a books about the type , very phenomenal preform,r and yeah ALL PROPELLER no plane , jeepers had this thing entered into WWII , for that it was designed for .

[Ian Warren]

Not the last off the Grumman propeller driven aircraft but it was the last propeller driven fighter All prop and no plane






Reading about the type ,it had this amazing performance leaving other s in it slipstream , propeller pocket rocket !

Great screens....great plane....i love all the cats, thanks Ian

[Rotordude]

Nice plane - great screenies , was going to get it last week, but the Classic hangers FW-190 late variants won the day.
Then this week I thought yes the bearcat...................... urmm no ended up with the VRS Superbug (Super Hornet) WOW what a simulation that bird is.

[AndrewJamez]

Nice! Whats the virtual cockpit like? any improvement on there other planes?

[Ian Warren]

Superb VC , have a little glitch with the fuel gauge , anything works , from defroster to emergency gear drop

[AlisterC]

What!? Ian getting his history wrong?
At the very least in terms of 'last aircraft types', the prototype Hawker Sea Fury first flew 10 days after the first flight of the Bearcat (according to Wiki anyway)
The Twin Mustang also flew later, though not technically a new plane I guess hehe

[Ian Warren]

Alister , The last Grumman Propeller fighter , Sea Fury , La-11 , and your F-82 , in propeller form still add the Pogo and even a Pancake

[AlisterC]

Ohhhh I misread you! I thought you meant "not just the last Grumman prop aircraft, but the last prop fighter"
Maybe we'll catch you out one day, I'll keep looking! Cheers
Looks like a beast. I'll never fly it so again I'll just enjoy your pics

Ooops, I didn't realise you had already posted on this subject Ian, my apologies

Oh well, a few shots from a different angle never hurt! A great plane from Vertigo nonetheless

Dammit, just when I thought I could stay at sea for a bit, bloody A2A AF decides they are going to impoverish me by releasing the He-219, aargh! Oh, well, it's almost Christmas!

[Ian Warren]
