Wildcat?

[jandmbear]

As far as a payware F4F Wildcat, is the Justflight offering the only option available?

 

[gribouil]

Yes it is!
You also have a freeware FM-2 available at Avsim if you want...

its a nice model - made for JF by Aeroplane Heaven I believe, and it dovetails nicely with the AH Grumman F3F regardless..

The JF/AH Wildcat/Martlet is one of my favourites. For €12 it's pretty good value.

Yes the payware Wildcat is pretty nice, I bought it not so long ago and I fly it from time to time.
Graphically, it's beginning to show its age but it still looks quite nice. There are some alternative textures for the virtual cockpit which make the textures look much more realistic and worn out, but I don't remember who made it :/

Rick kindly allowed us to host his weathered VC textures - http://www.justflight.com/support/wildcat-and-martlet/1160d42

Ah yes, I didn't remember they were available directly from JF.
Thanks a lot for the link

Kevin Miller was working on one last year, but there's been no more progress reports.

Hi,

Do you know any repaints for the free FM2 ? It flies very well and landing on WWII carriers is really wonderfull, amazing and much better then the JF (i also own this one).
The best wildcat would be the FM2 with the JF CV !

Deano (Vertigo Studios) announced working on a Wildcat many moons ago. Don't know if it's still on the roster though.

Cheers,

He's not working on it for FSX anymore, but his Wildcat model has now been under development for DCS through VEAO Simulations.

Here are some old shots of mine of the Justflight/AH Wildcat:

Hmm. Our loss, their gain: thanks John!

I was Looking at the Justflight F4F aswell its model looks like a Plastic model kit kind of too bad there is not a Better one out there

 

[DaveB]

This still isn't a half bad model. What lets it down more than anything are the default paints which have 'light reflected' areas as well as shading painted on. Throw some of the repaints listed here on and she's good to go.. or fly with the defaults after dusk

Yea, same here. . .Tons of stuff for CFS Wildcats and the JF model. Is there possibly a repainters name for those liveries? It would help with the search.

 

[JensOle]

As i mentioned, paints here at the soh fsx library. Package with several Fm2 paints and CVE. Just to do a search

'New' worn cockpit textures.
Re the FM-2 mentioned above, is it a proper tall fin and rudder FM-2 or just an F4F-4 repaint???
