[LIST] Got Friends: Development Hangar

Welcome to the Got Friends Development Hangar!

As our team transitions from Freeware to Payware, we figured it would be best if we list our members and aircraft for the community. Keep in mind, many of our projects started as independent efforts, but we are constantly working together now to improve that old work.

Our goal is for this thread to become the go-to place for all Got Friends’ Aircraft. We will constantly update this thread and respond to any community questions.

Thank you for supporting Got Friends. We all started out as freeware developers and we owe our growth directly to the community. We hope that our commitment to remaster old projects and share transparency of new projects keeps you around for the long haul. We have also worked hard to get our old freeware projects onto the Xbox Marketplace. Six of our freeware aircraft are now available on the in-game marketplace for the minimum price of $4.99 in the Got Friends: Legacy Collection!

I’ve been brushing up on not being a Dilbert waiting for release, lots of great WW2 era F4F footage here

We are currently in the coding phase of development. I would say soon, but a project like this is going to take extra time. This is our first highly detailed aircraft, a warbird, and our first big ticket payware. We are also in comparison with the F3F by Aeroplane Heaven and F6F by Flying Iron. So, we are taking that extra time to ensure the F4F is uniquely simulated.

Updated List to include Gravel’s Monster NXCub!

For the last month or so i’ve been having a weird propeller bug with the GBR3:


It looks like there’s an additional propeller or something? I’m not running any prop mods; even when i run vanilla MSFS with only the GBR3 and Unofficial Livery mods this still happens. I also tried deleting and re-dowloading/installing and the issue still remains.

I checked and this happens only with the dual-bladed liveries; all the triple-bladed liveries don’t have this issue. Any help would be appreciated 'cause i’m not sure what else to try D:

I see the Gee Bee made its way to the marketplace. Any chance some of the freeware will be available for xbox? :grinning:

You can see the prop protruding through the blur caused by the prop. Shouldn’t there be a blurred line for the decal mid blade?

We are working on a Gee Bee R3 Update for the issues described.

In the meantime, here are some previews of the EA-7 Edgley Optica Remaster by the entire Got Friends Team! Coming Soon to Flightsim.to and Xbox featuring your friendly fluffy companions! More to come!

I hope you’re adding a cat option to the Optica this time.

Let me know if you need me to do a 3D scan of one of my cats. :slight_smile:

@Editer they are happy companions indeed. Bone animations, proper weight loadout, they are a perfect companion for any flight.

Wow… I own the Orbx one and I gotta say… this looks more appealing and more feature-rich than the Orbx release.
