Ito's FS9 Cougar is a very nice model to operate from carriers in f.ex the Fox-Four campaigns. It's not the easiest to paint, but once you have done the general template most of the work is done. So here are 7 more versions. Included are some improvements from my earlier Cougar uploads.

I have already done the Shooting-Star, Sabre, Mig15 and Sea-Fury, so the next, F-84 Thunderjet, is already in work...

F9 Couger

Look great Morton. It'll be a great addition to your original pack for the plane.

Have you considered the Aeroplane Heaven freeware F9F Panther for one of your projects?

or:

She's a great package and makes a great Korean War jet for carrier ops and comes CFS 2 ready.

I've got my fingers crossed that Wolfi will return to CFS 2 soon and post his version of the Panther as it promises to be another fine early jet fighter too.

Jagdflieger, i sure have looked at the AH panther. It's a very good CFS2 Panther. BUT, it's a nightmare to paint. I kind of given it up after several tries. It's just not mapped together for what i would like to do. So, i scanned the web for an alternative Panther. Fox-Four has one which i have been considering among others. I've been using too much time on different F9Fs already, so my heart stopped for a second reading your post about Wolfi's Panther. That would be just great! Lets hope.

Where did you get the F9F Cougar, I have been looking for one for a while and the only one I could find was for FS98 in Argentinian markings, is your repaint for a freeware or payware model?
 
Jim, download Mortons package, open up the zip and take a look at the readme it will explain the where's and what's as to the planes location etc.

Cheers! :ernae:
 
First thanks for your great Repaints, They work beautyful in FS 9, because I have not CFS 2, but what did you say to the old Panther from Daisuke Yamamoto http://www.simviation.com/fs2002military40.htm
or the old Freeware Alphasim Panther to repaint ?

Yes Franzi, i've looked at the Yamamoto F9F. Nothing wrong with that model. Nice VC also. But the main fuselage texture is mapped like a tube. Makes it hard to do the textures the way i want to. I think.
The Alphasim Panther? Where? Maybe too old model?

Hi Morton,

read Jagdflieger's reply above, the link is right there.

The model is not too old either, actually she's a beauty, for CFS2 and multi-res. You should check it out.

Cheers!

Kelticheart, i think i'm confused because we are mixing the Alphasim and Aeroplane Heaven here. Two different sites. I dont think Alphasim has done a Panther.? As for the AH-F9F read my post earlier.

Too bad about the Aeroplane Heaven Panther and its texture mapping. I suspected as much as there has not been any activity for repaints on it. I really like those old straight wing jets and CFS 2 handles them pretty well once you get the air file set up properly.

Strange as it may seem, Alphasim did make a Panther back in the FS 2000, early CFS 2 days. It makes for a pretty good AI aircraft and there are a few skins available for it. It's pretty dated now as a flyer's aircraft, but it's free and looks pretty good as an AI.

Search for Alpha_F9F-2_Panther.zip in the Outhouse library.

Me too Jagd. Then you will also like the F-84G Thunderjet. ;)

(I might give the AH panther a third try though...)

OOOOPS! :redface:

You're right! Alphasim and Aeroplane Heaven aren't the same place! :rolleyes:

Jagdflieger is right, Alpha's model dates back to the beginning of 2002, but I agree it still makes a very good AI plane.

Sorry for the mixup!

.MK you gotta go down in FS history as one of the most prolific painters of all time:applause:

Thunderjet

Just gotta love those straight wings! I'm looking forward to the new Thunderjet skins.

According to the US Air Force, the Thunderjet flew 60% of their ground attack missions in Korea.

By the way, the Thunderjet was part of Republic's stable of fighters conceived by Mr. Kartveli design team. P-43 Lancer, P-47 Thunderbolt, F-84 Thunderjet, F-84F Thunderstreak and finally the F-105 Thunderchief.
