P&W J-42 is/was allegedly used by the McDonnel Douglas F-9 Panther.. according to Pratt & Whitney. ..I'm a fool, didn't register the '..which mod..' bit of that last sentence until minutes later.

I have the F9F Panther in my HSFX 7.0.2 install and it works fine, so that file should be in HSFX. 
Really upset the SeaHawk does not work in HSFX

Original F9F2 MOD released in SAS set the engine model name as "PWJ42" in SAS button.
This Sea Hawk MOD uses the same engine by the same engine model name.

In the other hand, HSFX developer decided to merge Jet engines models into one file named "GeneralElectric" in HSFX7 button in packing F9F2 mod.
So.... HSFX7 has F9F2 mod inside , but not "PWJ42" engine model in its button.

Sea Hawk MOD needs the engine model named "PWJ42".... but it doesn't exist in HSFX button.

Is there any way to add it to the buttons file?.................  I have the decompiler for buttons but I don't have the file list for HSFX aircraft, or could it be done with the Auto DiffFM?

I can add a copy to the FM file that comes with the plane - it'll have its own reference that way.

Copying same parameters from button is not good way.
Making confusing and version mismatching. FM parameters meanings are sometimes changed by Team Daidalos and SAS/HSFX button follow it in each base versions(In example, overheating parameter in 4.12.2m).

I think the best way is.... keeping today's classfile and FM file for general SAS version, and Releasing additional FM file only for HSFX7.0.3 referring GerenalElectric.emd.

Hi all,

I took a look at the engine model issue and found a few things.
First of all, the existing Sea Hawk DiffFM file contains some irritating additional files, like Ar-234C, some G4M, BMW 003, two more files I could not find any trace of...
Then, as pointed out correctly before, it references the J42-P-8A from Pratt&Whitney_J42.emd, a file which is not part of the HSFX buttons.
Instead, HSFX uses the same J42-P-8A but from a file GeneralElectric.emd, which holds a lot more engines inside.
Further investigation showed that at least the 4.12.2 and 4.13RC4 buttons (10.4.4 and 11.0.0) also contain the file GeneralElectric.emd with J42-P-8A inside, so the most logical solution to this issue was to simply reference GeneralElectric.emd instead of Pratt&Whitney_J42.emd.
This works for HSFX and it works for Modact 5 and 6 too. Other versions untested so far.

Please find the altered FM file, format compatible with any game version, for download below:

maybe this should go to the first post as well?

[SAS~Storebror]

Once it's tested and confirmed working by a couple of users, mikoyan will for sure add it to his opening post or integrate into the mod as he sees fit.

Best regards - Mike

Seems to work fine Mike, it loads and flies like it should, where it wouldn't even load before.  We will test it and see how the performance and overheating issues are as it's used.  Thanks for getting it sorted for us HSFX users.  Now if I could just get the B7A1 and Bearcat working in HSFX.

Cheers

Hoss
