There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

FAA_Martlet IV Op Torch UT.zip
A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - British
Description: F.A.A. Grumman Martlet IV skin by UncleTgt
This is a repaint for the Donationware F4F-4 Wildcat for CFS 2.
This aircraft is from 888 Squadron Fleet Air Arm November 1942, when aircraft from this squadron were based on H.M.S. Formidable during Operation Trch, the Allied Invasion of North Africa. This a/c is believed to have been flown by Lt Denis Jeram on 6th NOV 1942 when he scored his fifth kill, a Vichy French Block MB174 to become an ace.
To install,create a backup of your F4F-4 Wildcat textures. Unzip the download to a temporary folder & copy across your chosen texture files into the texture folder for the F4F-4, letting it overwrite the files there.
OR
Create a copy of your F4F-4 Wildcat aircraft & rename it. Replace the textures with the files included in this zip.
Thanks to FDGv2 group for a detailed model, all I did was to rework the textures back to a plain unmarked skin, then apply some camo & markings.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.

I like those alot. Outstanding work UT.
Why did they put US Navy on them. I know why they used the Roundles. was it for the same reason?

couple more FDG Corsair repaint WIPs
I found a reference to 5 x Formidable Corsairs being used as dive bombers during the Tirpitz strike, carrying an asymmetric load of centreline fuel tank, & 1000lb bomb under stbd wing root.
So, I'm modiying the dp file to reproduce - haven't tried taking off from a carrier yet...

All of your FAA skins rock UncleTgt, but these Corsairs are the ones i've been waiting patiently for since you first announced them early in the thread. Looking forward to the Seafires too!

UncleTgt,
Fantastic work. I did something along those lines with asymmetrical payloads for the 20th Fighter Group!

Send it to me, I will write it into a mission as player and see if she will take off.

Check your mail, its already sent (along with some repaint goodies...)
Bearcat
The Seafires are already up
Corsair II won't be much longer, probably do Home Fleet & Eastern Fleet skin packs.
Corsair IV requires a little more thought, the FAA loadouts & weapons need to be very similar to the II, & simply using the corsair II model is OK, but not quite correct.
Plus I get distracted easily....

some details about the asymmetric dive bomber loadout

Note the recollection says port wing, but any photos I've seen indicate stbd wing loading...
