/images/notams/notams22/iron0909.jpgThe logical successor & evolution to the F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat was the monstrous carrier-borne aircraft of the United States Navy in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. The Hellcat first appeared operationally in August 1943, proving its value immediately and taking part in some of the greatest air battles of the Pacific; from the Caroline Islands, to the Battle of the Philippines & many more. The aircraft was incredibly successful in battle, accounting for more than half of all airborne kills from the US Navy. The F6F claimed 5,156 total kills with an extraordinary kill ratio of 19:1, creating 307 Hellcat Pilot aces in the process. Featuring all-new ground handling physics developed in-house, custom thermodynamics modelling, cockpit shake effects, realistic water injection & automated flaps (a ground-breaking feature of the time), supercharger modelling and much, much more. The F6F Hellcat has been truly brought to life in MSFS!

/images/notams/notams22/iron0122.jpgG'day folks! Dan here - today I'm excited to bring to you ourlatest announcements and news for 2022! I'll be announcing ourupcoming MSFS module, as well as teasing 2 more and then discussingdevelopment progress on the A-7E for DCS World (plus sharing somepreviews of the new 3D Model!) Let's kick things off by talking Microsoft Flight Simulator: MSFS: Announcing The F6F HellcatMean, rugged & powerful. These 3 simple terms can only begin todescribe the beast of a machine that is the US Navy's F6F Hellcat. The Hellcat is a beautifully designed, carrier-operated fighterthat is credited with destroying more enemy aircraft than any otherAllied naval aircraft and playing a key role in achieving airsuperiority over the Pacific for the Allied Forces. The Hellcat is powered by a monstrous 2,000hp (2,250hp WEP) Pratt &Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp - an 18 cylinder air-cooled radial enginefeaturing a 2-stage, 2-speed Supercharger and water injection. Thepowerplant drives a huge 4m 3-bladed Hamilton Standard Constant-speedpropeller.
