Revised FM-2 textures

**bub** · November 20th, 2015, 14:35

Hi All,

After some gentle prodding from Kelti, my ribs hurt. I'll upload a set of revised Eash textures for Allens FM-2 Wildcat and a new one of "Charlie 7"/ "Smokey" flown by Lt. L. J. Carr, one confirmed air to air victory, A Ki-61 Tony, from the Kadashan Bay. I'll include all you see here so it can be modified if you want.

Thanks and have fun,

Bob

So was it a drop kick or just a quick jab? They look outstanding Bob.

Thanks for the pain killers, Allen. I needed them. I'll leave the "prodding" to your imagination. Let's just say that I didn't think he could reach all the way from Italy. I'll get these uploaded in a day or so.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi All,
Just uploaded the new textures and extras. Make sure you read the ReadMe. There are extras you may or not want to use. Many thanks to Kelti for providing the files to give this some new life. Also to Allen for the aspirins to relieve the sore ribs caused by Kelti's "prodding". Just kidding Stef.
Have fun,
Bob

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

Description: Hi All,

These are textures for Allen's FM-2 Wildcat. The first is a replacement for the original J W Eash textures. The second, is a representation of the FM-2 flown by Lt. Leslie J. Carr of VC-20 off the USS Kadashan Bay, CVE-76. Number 7, or "Charlie 7"/
"Smokey". And, he had one confirmed air to air victory, a Ki-61 Tony.

After going over some original photographs and profiles I realized I had made some mistakes. This is an attempt to rectify that. I also fixed the colors and added some minor details.

These textures will work with any of Allen's versions you are using. Make sure to read the ReadMe, there are extras included.

Thanks to all and have fun,

Bub

This is a new one on me. The previous dp files all use "wep_us_wildcat_drop_gp".

**bub** · November 24th, 2015, 16:00

Here ya go, Sir.
Bob

btw: If you want blue tanks, you'll find them in my FAA Wildcat VI.

***Worthless*** · November 24th, 2015, 17:23

Yep! That did the trick Bub. Many thanks. I am enjoying this bird.

I assumed, we know what that does, that everyone had the tanks. Glad you're having fun with the airplane. The credit goes to Allen. I just painted it.

Nicely done Bub, you have an eye for the little details - kudos

***Worthless*** · November 25th, 2015, 10:11

Bub....You know what they say; "never assume". In my case, I did have them, I just didn't know I had them. Found them in (FM-2_Wildcat_MahBaby), zip file I had downloaded from Simviation. I should have looked more carefully. And as regards Allen's input on this AC, never fear....I'm a big fan of all of his creations, and more. I haven't forgotten it was reading one of his threads that I realized why the rear mirror bmp addy kept turning my screen dark. Anyway, thanks for all your paints and hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Something else.....

I found that after firing the first set (2) of rockets, the other two sets would just disappear without firing. Having had a similar problem in the past I looked at this old thread....

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...eor-F3-Rockets

Changing this....
[guns.2]
gun.0=2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

to read.....
[guns.2]
gun.0=6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

...fixed it so all rockets would fire.

W.
Which dp are you using? I just went and checked to see and it worked fine in my setup. Could be one of those gremlins from my avatar. Try one of Kelti's from his prop mods for Allen's FM-2. You won't have the gun tubes or the spit pylons. But, it might work better. Let us know how you make out with it.

I am using the DP file contained in the (Revised_FM-2_Wildcat_Textures_CVE-76) zip file, but I retain the DP files from the original AC download as well as the DP from Allen's update, (FM-2_Airfile_WIP) file. I just retried both of these earlier DP files and got the same problem as related above.

I'm a tinkerer and constantly making changes to see what affect it will have, so this may be my own fault and since I don't pretend to understand all the ins and outs of the Gunstations section, it's not likely I'll figure out what is causing this glitch. The change I made in the [guns.2] appears to work, so for now I'll just go with it.

Thanks
GW
