FM-2 Wildcat

For those that might be interested , it would be nice to have a good FM2 engine sound. You can hear and see a real FM2 built in 1943 and flown by Kermit Weeks. you get to here what it sounds like inside and out + a lot more info not only about the FM2 but the F4F-4. The FM2 was and is powered by a 1350HP Wright R 1820-56 Cyclone engine. I also found out the SBD was powered by a Wright R 1820- 60 Cyclone engine.

If you want to find about this go to your search engine and type in You Tube Kermi Cam and you will be able to find it.

Hi All,
I've been a little busy these past few days and am falling behind. I'll have the Atlantic Wildcat uploaded in a couple of days. The Depth Charges in the dp file are from Baldy and can be found here at SOH. Somehow I forgot to include that tidbit in the ReadMe.
Thanks,
Bub

FM-2 Atlantic Wildcat Uploaded

Hi All,
Just uploaded the Atlantic FM-2 Wildcat "Black 9". It's from VC-13 off the USS
Tripoli, CVE-64. I found a set of blue droptanks in a old file and have included
them. They work, so if you use them, you'll have to add a separate Payload to the
dp file. This way you can have blue for the Pacific and bare metal for the Atlantic.
Or, you can leave it alone as both were used in the Pacific. As I've said, the
Depth Charges are from Baldy and can be found here.
Sully,
Good to hear from you, its been a while. Not really doing anything new, just fixing
up some old stuff and getting it back in the files.
Bob,
I went through Lawdogs sounds and found what I felt was the closest to to FM-2. It
does have a "different" sound than the F4F.
Gaucho,
As I said, I've been a little busy. As my wife used to say about dinner, "If you
keep them waiting long enough, they'll eat anything".
Thanks again and Have Fun,
Bub

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - American

Description: Hi All,

This repaint represents the FM-2 Wildcat "Black 9" of VC-13, flown off the USS Tripoli, CVE-64.

Just add the folder to Gramps FM-2 along with the cfg information and you're off to hunt U-Boats.

The Depth Charges were created by Baldly and can be found at SOH. I forgot to mention that in the previous download. There is a set of blue droptanks included.

Please read all the Readmes.

Thanks and have fun,

Bub
