A Grumman in Honolulu

Recommended Posts

This was a reasonably successful port over. Flies ok, take off and land ok, looks and sounds ok, but no instruments. Will be nice for an occasional outing. Just a few over Honolulu -

It is in this picture, but you have to look hard to find it

It'll be nice if some of these old planes get a makeover and a re-release for this sim. Alway's liked this one.

Hi Andy,

The Grumman F3F2 comes with instruments. Maybe you try again, there is a newer, better way to port over planes. Here is the link. Just go for the latest build, build 1.22. Otherwise it’s very similar to the old version.

Here is a video (again no voice), that explains, what you have to do: 

 

 

And here is a look at the Grumman cockpit, as  I have i, using this latest port-over method:

Btw, if you have the Grumman, you might also have the Bristol Bulldog (I got the Grumman for free, when I bought the Bulldog)

If you are interested in WWII planes, Milviz has the Ju 87 Stuka on its website for free. She also ports nicely into MSFS:

Another plane I like is the freeware Fokker D21:

Btw, I found with all these planes that I sit too close to the panel. So I went into the camera.cfg, looked for View Point and decreased the first value by some 10 percent. Bingo !!

 

Have fun and let me know, how you did

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

I'll get myself a copy of that and have a play. And the camera.cfg tip is good - I'd forgotten all about messing around in there and yes, I feel like I'm sitting on another pilot's knees most of the time in these portovers!
