FM-2 Wildcat released by Allen!

Bub

Because of the bug with damage texture logic I changed the name of the textues to remove the "-" from FM-2 in the name so the body textures are now name L_FM2_wildcat_t.bmp and R_FM2_wildcat_t.bmpfor the normal texture and L_FM2_wildcat_d.bmpand R_FM2_wildcat_d.bmpfor the damage texture.

Nothing else has changed.

I know it late but I just got the PC fired up today. I sent you the PM info and the wire change worked just fine.

This one is a really great addition, especially for repainters because the model IMHO is better than the stock in terms of rounded surfaces and perimetric lines...
Certainly worth a really good detailed paint job... I think I'll try my best skills on it... Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It was nothing to do. The only bad thing was the part linking the messed up. I think it was related to the folding wings. After a ton of trial and error I found that it was just best to link everything to the master LOD dummy unless it had to be linked to a part for the breaking parts (Elevators and rudder to the tail, Ailerons to the wing tips, Flaps to wings .ect)
 
Allen is being modest. He did all the hard work. It was no small feat and the results are amazing. The aircraft not only looks better, it's fun to fly. It makes a wonderful addition. All credit to his abilities. All I did was to crack open a couple of spray cans and the masking tape.
Thanks Kelti, as Eyore says, "thanks for noticing".

Ian,
That may be a good thing. Unc has a better handle on these Wildcats than I do. And, seeing that I'm going back into "retirement", somebody has to pick up the slack. Glad you and everyone else are enjoying the FM-2. It's a fun aircraft and a great job by Allen.
Cheers,
Bob

Ahh hewman100!? A bit of a slap in the face, don't you think? :cower: A quick response to the post most likely.
Granted, UT does some fantastic skins, but Bub is pretty darn good also.

I've stated before, I couldn't re-skin an aircraft to save my life.
That being said I have nothing but respect for those that can. :loyal:

Cheerz, Dave

Bub,

Surely if you're retiring that means you have more time to do some repaints? :a1089:

I think Ian was hinting at some FAA Wildcat VIs :triumphant:
