I have tried to contact Lone Wolf about this but he hasn't been online in a long time so I decided to publish this on my own here:

I have reworked and updated the Fireball with a few new features:
(only tested in BAT WAW)

https://www.mediafire.com/file/87u7lsbdjepy5yc/%2521%2521_Fireball_191201.zip/file

F7F cockpit used
-you need to have the F7F installed

New and realistic FM:
-one Wright Cyclone Radial and one GE jet engine in the correct centerline positions.
-no more fire danger
-can be operated on their own, I suggest you set the jet and only handle the radial in a combat situation
-speed envelope close to real life figures, also for single-engine operation

Replaced 20mm armament with 4x .50cal.
Added drop tanks to loadout.
US-marked and darker blue default skin

The tricycle landing gear is very different from a tail sitter when landing on a carrier.
Approach in a flat angle with full flaps at ~190kph (depends on fuel load) and immediately after touch down press stick full forward into the nose gear to avoid being pulled back onto your tail (and crash). It is (and also was in real life) counter intuitive to the previous tail sitters.

Which F7F mod?

#32 post, made for bat variant, special thanks to Vampire_pilot:  ...works very fine in my 412.2 SAS5.3, heavily modded.

Which F7F mod?

For the F7F-3 pit, see screenshot in reply#34, I do use F7F-3_v1.1 (outside of bat) : use first two links within the link proposed above.

Project Beartrap for 412, is bit more complicate and recent:  https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,61769.0.html <clickable
As opposed to post #34 pic ( = F7F-3/FR-1 pit is shown),  a Beartrap's mod pit looks rather like this:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Lone Wolf mod Topic
Earlier mod by Lone Wolf used a Meteor pit as per post #24 at the top.
This pit had issues, ..probably resulted in conflicts, hence a 'pit fix' was made...
Past issue: in 'my rig' the autopilot sunk the rear of that aircraft in the runway, then fireballed the plane true to the name !
That issue was resolved with #32.

..here are archives links for the original mod. Post #1  links are currently dead  [ however, do use #32 version ]:

Restored links for archive purposes.
