Classic British Flight Sim

It looks like Rob Richardson might be working on a Grumman F9F-8 Cougar. If that model sees the light of day I can leave this earth a happy man. Seriously.

Interesting choice. TSR2 on the back burner again then?

Yes I've lost interest in the TSR2 once again!
The Cougar, on the other hand, I find very interesting.
A few different models to consider, all with hooks!
Lots of re-paint possibilities.
And its a little bit British!

I understand the feeling, you work on something for a while and eventually it starts to feel like 'work', best to set it aside and do something fun for a while. Which ever one you release first its going to be fun.

An updated Cougar pic now on Rob's website.

Another nostalgic image, reminding me of my Airfix builds.
Good on you Rob!

I think the Panthers and Cougars were very handsome aircraft, so this is great to see. Rob, any chance of the two seater at some point - the F9F-8T ? It's the best looking of the lot, I think.

Dave B would have loved this.

I've had a few requests for the two seater, I agree it is a nice looking aircraft.
When/if the single seater is finished I'll have a go at it.
I have the drawings needed for all models plus a lot of other information people have sent me.
I think I should mention, at this point, that I no longer have FSX on my system and I have "Blender" set up for P3Dv4 only.

So the Cougar would be for P3Dv4 only, when released? (lower lip beginning to quiver)
