@mac1
I just watched (not tested!) code F2A2 cockpit.
He called several times on behalf of the class airline F2A2.
Therefore change F2A2 in F2A3.
But in this case is the F2A2 plane would not cockpit.
I suggest you recreate a Class cockpit with the name "CockpitF2A3" with the contents of "CockpitF2A2" changed.
The line :
super ("3DO/Cockpit/F2A-2/hier.him", "BF109");
can remain unchanged!

First, let me assure you that despite my comments this is much, much better than no F2A-3 at all. And my own skills in this respect are absolutely nil, otherwise I would have started work on converting the F2A-2 into an F2A-3 ages ago (not to mention making the B-339C and D, the most important versions). I wouldn't even know in which SFS file the required F2A-2 files are located! Ditto for the Buffalo Mk.I which would be the basis for the -B, C, D, SSSS, PRU, Nightfighter and the longnose 339-23 versions.

Strange that the B-239 skins work but the F2A-2 skins don't when both modded versions have the same longer nose, though. But perhaps it might eventually be worth having special skins made for a “correct” F2A-3. And a Buff Mk.I modded into a 339-23 would probably have the same skin problem that your modded F2A-2 has.

The only other comments I have re your model concern the framing of the sliding canopy and the barrels of the 20m guns. Re the latter, perhaps the Hurricane IIC barrels might be better?

Fairly sure that I did use the mkIIc barrels just removed one of them in 3ds max and re-exported the lot mapped onto a generic piece of skin.

Epervier has come up with a possible solution to my cockpit problem so Im gonna check that out tomorrow and see how it goes

Thanks for the great work!

Hey Gerrit Ive updated the cockpit a little just to add to the immersion, see original post for download. Delete original mod folder and replace with this one

[GerritJ9]

Downloading as I type this, thank you for your efforts!

[mac1]

Hopefully I get time eventually or someone else does to add the correct gauges. Does anyone have trouble taking off from carrier decks?

Very nice bird. Hard as hell to fly (and I like that). She makes up for her sluggishness with the 20 mike mikes lol.

[mac1]

Ah good to hear, what do you make of the handling? is it accurate to accounts? sluggish and a pain in the ass? The cannons were a what if request. Love alternate history

Judging by these photos, Brewster also experimented with an eight-gun installation:

Presumably, the guns are .30s rather than .50s if the sizes of the bulges on the wing trailing edge are anything to go by. Perhaps a feasibility test of an installation similar to the eight-gun installations on the Hurricane and Spitfire?

The captions indicate that this layout was fitted to an F2A-2. Wonder if it was done at the request of the RAF Purchasing Commission- the B-339E was based on the F2A-2 rather than the -3.

Thank you! 
I see an external FM! So it's now a version for 410!
Will you make a version for 409 ... or I'll take care of? 

Of coruse, feel free to make a 4.09 version if you havent already

John R, your update doesn't allow the AC to load on my DBW 1.71 QMB. When I went back to the original files, everything worked again.
