Hellcat F6F Version 1
June/12th/2000

Model by Robert C. Berman
Air file and panel by S.M. Baugh
FSDS pilot by David Eckert

Hello, and thank you for downloading our Hellcat. As far as I know this is the only Hellcat made specifically for FS2000, including a new air file. This model was my first attempt at making a plane. It was made with FSDS from Abacus (www.abacuspub.com). Although there are many things that I would like to change about the model, I have to let it go before I kill myself. I will be making an upgrade to the model and fine tuning some of the animation in the near future.

Planned changes:
1) Accurate landing gear retraction; however, this will have to wait till the boys at Abacus release a new version of AA.
2) A seamless canopy with no bleed through (whoops, when I made the model I didn't know about the symmetry mode)
3) Drop tank
4) Overall more detail

Feedback Please!

As anybody who designs planes knows, this takes a lot of work. I would like to say that I am doing it for my own pleasure, but I also hope that other people will enjoy my work. I would love any feedback that you can give me. Well, almost any. If you have any suggestions or advice for me, please e-mail me at vootie@icn.ne.jp.

Once again, thank you very much for trying out our plane,

Sincerely,
Robert C. Berman
