Substitute First Page, for Documentation...

The Project is in a showcase stage, former glitches history:
wrong armament layouts, wrong 3-D partially, messed up Loadouts, Hooks etc.
I remember the Martlets being very care intensive, too many Fixes, conflicting Documentation used,
hence the mess and very non realistic Martlets.

What I did was trying to search real Grumman Documents about the Propellers,
Curtiss and Hamilton Documents, browsing open US Archives and finally traced what
was the conformal outlook. in depth

For a final Martlet I and IV Propeller the Hamilton needs to get a Hub Dome Cap for the Screw Bolt to be precise.
The current is ideal, but lacking that neat Part. Yeah Details, this Time no compromomises, just historical.



Here the Original at Yeovilton


Curtiss Electric and the Hub capped, is simply the stepped Prop without
Hub, that's briefed through USS Enterprise Mechanic Veterans, pictures from F4F-3/4s showing this.



Yeovilton again, with the Hubbed Curtiss a Mk.II Asset



Here is how that same fugging Prop looked without that damn Cap,
watch for Screw Holes attaching Points.




British specific Equipment, this is the late IV, V, VI additional Antenna behind the top Fuselage Lights,
faintly stripe. Again, this is just the major Setup, this is one of several such British Mods.
and an Asset of delivering Goods for Arnheim, a Container,
we get upgraded Loadouts at the Martlets, not the old castrated Farts. Prepare





Not much Bla Bla, I let Pictures do the Talking, Documentation, and real Documentation,
based on facts, pictures, will be shipped when public here, for the while just Screenshots...





late Curtiss Electric Propeller Model C5315S-D14
old and new showcase
<<< old is fake Matroshka, one step too much



FM-2 late with a Hub capped late Curtiss Electric Propeller Model C5315S-D14



Martlet Mk.IV with Hamilton Standard


Mk.II with a Hub capped early Curtiss Electric Propeller Model C5315S-D14

Mk.I and Mk.III need porting to a new Template, in the past we had wrong 3-D for Cowling, will be
cured, Skins, Templates, Defaults neatly prepared. That's a shitload of work, next to 3-D refinements on the Hamilton,
testing, setting up Java, prepping cods, upgrading Loadouts.

The Mod is far from finished, but a Lookiee Lookie doesn't hurt, as it progressed
within a few Days here.

If after that someone ever touches them, I shoot myself, rather than going again for a Fix of a Fix, this the Final Fiddling,

Now do your Rants, farts over porting, crap shit...

The first Version is up for Testing,
Don't get entangled to not Read First Page carefully and/or Read Me.
CTDs you might face, meet the Requirements.

As for Wildcat Add-Ons only WxTechs Cockpit Upgrade is verified, nothing else...

Please note altered and corrected Mk.I Template, issued here,
together with all other here certified Templates.

That's it, the rest of what needs Fixing can wait, I have no competition to run,
but to head back into Spitfires...

Our Beta Testing Crew is fiddling up proper FM for F4F-3 and Mk.III Derivates.

Announcement of a 2nd Mk.III


Block #1 - R-1830-S3C4-G: 1,200 hp (890 kW) (ex-Greek F4F-3A)*
Block #2 - R-1830-S3C4-G: 1,200 hp (890 kW) (ex-French)
Block #3 - R-1820-G205A: 1,200 hp (890 kW) (ex-French G-36A)*
Block #4 - R-1820-G205A: 1,200 hp (890 kW) (ex-French)

* remodelled in this Package

That will bring us 1. Block Mk.III and our current 3. Block Mk.III side by side.

Frenchie in a Export US Wildcat Dress, Yupp, the same Hybrid as 2. Block Mk.III, French dress with
Export Twin wasp, Hehh? Yes, Welcome to Mk.III World here.


If someone comes with Veterans Pilots Notes or AX Reserialling I urge to look up
official RN/US Registers on behalf of reserialling/deletion of Blocks and how it got registered and used.

Have a nice day, we care about FMs here...

A new Update,
find in First Post, install fresh, check Read Mes, new content pending.

No copy cats here.

New content is preparation for a FM overhaul. The major Slots prepared, first Test FMs running,
now comes tricky Part, getting it in shape. That's a lasting thing and might or might not be finnished,
as we need to recruit FM Modders from external Compartment. Press thumbs, wish our Beta Crew good Luck.

Fixshow is up again,
Version 1.4 out, Fix of retarded Fixes Propellers. fix of Fixes...

To be installed like a Virgin, fresh, no copy clit stuff.

What's Fixed, all Mesh Errors by Props, not rotating Props,
We have now 3 Types of historical Engine Meshes, 2 Types of Twin Wasp and
finally a proper Cyclone Mesh. The Wildcats/Martlets now boosted in 3-D.
Whatever comes with 3-D now, is not in my Hand, I can Fix issues, but no
white Rabbits any longer. My Hat is empty.

Gentlemen, I need a medical Fix myself, my wisdom tooth, the last remaining has to be extracted Today
it seems. Time to pull that Gremlin out.
Dunno how long I can't be of support.
I'm out for a few Days.

Keep the Frontline

I thought the Martlet I and II had the same canopy as the F4F-3, with the extra vertical frame bar on each side of the forward (stationary) canopy.

Next Update,:

Own Cockpits, I applied your US equivalents. Means the Fixes from your Wildcat Fix.
3 new Cockpits Mk.I, Mk.II and Mk.IV






Was a CTD joyride, had to do new Cockpits in order to get them working.
Only alternative, adding the US Cockpits.

Basicly we need just 2 Cockpits for Martlets I and II, both suiting all proposed Marks.
I did a IV just in case I ran into trouble.

Mk.I (G-36A) + Mk.III (G-36A) + Mk.IIIb (F4F-3A) = US equivalent F4F-3 Cockpit
Mk.II (G-36B) + Mk.IV(F4F-4B) = US equivalent F4F-4 Cockpit
Mk.V = US equivalent FM-1 - F4F-4 Cockpit
Mk.VI = US equivalent FM-2 - F4F-4 Cockpit

How to make them British, I have no clue, I added my old FAA Sticker to it, that's all I can be of Help.
For British Instruments, I'm overasked at how to add or edit.

Will upload the new proposed Cockpits, feel free to tinker, fiddle to your liking.


Version 1.5 with WxTech's Cockpit Fix, hopefully added correctly.
Please try out, Install fresh, delete old Versions completely.


Thanks


Best wishes
