Hi Allen and Bub! :wavey:

Thank you, Bub for yet another nice livery! I am in the process of making a custom prop disc for this bird, just to follow your recommendation in your readme....:biggrin-new:

Allen:

Would it be possible replacing the stock CFS2 ghastly prop blades with the nice ones you fitted in your B-24J? Thank you very much! :adoration:

Cheers!

Hi All,
Thanks for the kudos. I really appreciate it. However, I found a couple of small errors which will be corrected in the next FM -2.

Kelti,
If you look at the screen shots, they are your Hamilton and Curtis prop textures. Your prop's, along with Uncles engine, add so much to this aircraft. If we could use your prop blades and textures, that would be the icing on the cake.

Again, thanks.
Bob

Aircraft download has been updated as requested with a detail still prop. This should have no effect on frame rates unless you place the FM-2 as static object. Even than the changes should one be seen when you get close to any of the static FM-2s.
 
You are a gem!

Thank you so much, Allen!

Forgive me for being the usual pain, but your works are so nice that I can't stand them being spoiled by such a small, yet very visible, detail. :encouragement:

I'll be working on a gauge-controlled exhaust effect for this babe, but I am missing a fundamental detail:

how were the exhaust pipes arranged on the FM-2? Was it a single one per side or each cylinder had its own?

If each cylinder had its own exhaust pipe, how were they grouped on each side of the cowl?

Below the alternative prop discs I just finished. Besides of a disc shape choice, you will be able to choose between Hamilton Standard branded prop discs or plain ones.

Cheers!

Kelti,
I believe that I may have a photo of the exhaust. If I find it, I'll post it here. If memory serves me correctly, it should be one each side.
