F7F Tigercat SOH Project

I hereby declare myself to be teased... nice paint job! -Mike Z.

Yep, Matt does a beautiful job with his repaints, adding the little details to a weathered skin that I don't have the know-how to accomplish with any believability. Great work there Matt.

Looking forward to this Matt.

Matt's texture will be included in the F7F-3N "Unfinished" initial release. The package awaits his texture(s). The -3N fuselage and wings have been remapped to accommodate the taller -3 tail and longer nose and avoid the original -1 mapping issues for the -3's you guys have graciously painted.

Primarily adds panel from the RTWR version, updates some issues with the original paint scheme and mapping, and adds retardant drop and slow engine start (cntrl+E starts only - go to spot view to check it out) with enhanced smoke at startup. Retardant and slow engine start does NOT work in FSX; gauges are FS9 only.

You can kinda get the slow start in FSX with the F7F if you select the engine, pull the props back and start with M +++++++. The Tanker version is definitley my fav. I splashed some mudd on here like she would look after a long day of FIRE BOMBING!

I've been searching forever for a nice Tigercat for FS9. Been in love with this plane since I saw it for CFS2. Means alot that you, and everybody who has worked with you on this project, cared enough to do it justice and make it a reality for FS9. The trial version flys beautiful!!! Can't wait for the finished package. Many Thanks!!!

Thank you LW.

I just uploaded the official release of the F7F-3P WIP. It includes what you have from the original package plus Mike Zola's texture, Gary Jones' sounds, a WEP gauge for FS9, a slow engine start gauge for FS9 (works with ctrl+e only), and improved startup smoke effects.

Even with all the extras, the package is smaller than the original as I used a Clickteam installer for better compression. It is still a manual install, decompresses to a temporary folder of your choice. 25MB and A/V scanned with AVAST.

If you all will check this out over the next few days, I will upload to Avsim and Flightsim.

Once it is approved, you will see it here:

LINK REMOVED AS ARCHIVE REPLACED WITH UPDATED MODEL. SEE LATER POST FOR LINK.

Milton,

I will approve it now and delete the older WIP from late December.

[Milton Shupe]

Thank you Rami.

For those of you who will download, you might save your old version and alterations.

Because the slow start (ctrl+e) is a basic implementation, if you prefer not to have it, just remove the gauge from the window00 panel entry (gauge30).

Thanks for everyones efforts here on this release.

Hi Milton,

I downloaded from the link above, but Gary's sound pack didn't appear to be included. I downloaded that from flightsim.com

Fantastic sounding! Thanks!

OOOOPS! LOL Sorry about that ...

I will have to fix that tonight.

This has been updated.

[Milton Shupe]

This has been updated.

Thank you Sir.

I re-uploaded the F7F-3P ... no changes to the package except to add the sounds by Gary Jones.
