Got Friends F4F Wildcat announcement

[collensr]

I watched a few of the UTube reviews. Aircraft certainly looks well modelled inside and out. However to me the engine sounds that I heard (admittedly only snippets) didn't seem anything like the Wildcats that I see and hear at Duxford.

They have a very distinctive "clackety clack" - to me this one sounds like a generic radial engine.

However, let's wait and see what feedback we get on the sounds when it is released.

In their defense both the Wildcat's at Duxford are the FM-2 variety with Wright 1820 9 cylinder powerplant vs the F4F 14 cylinder P&W R-1830

There is only one F4F-type Wildcat flying in the world today (P&W R-1830), while all the rest of the flying Wildcats are FM-2s (Wright 1820). The one and only flying F4F is the -3 owned by Rod Lewis, and some bits of its sound can be heard here in taxi, takeoff, and solo pass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB-daKqJRm8
