Wow, what a coincidence! I was just watching the first half of your Part 1 of developing a plane on YouTube (the 1 year old episode) and the F4F was the main image shown early on.

Crazy!!

Acrobatic only or War ready ?

Here is a great demonstration of the landing gear retract/extension, courtesy of the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. Roughly 28 turns of the hand crank to either raise or lower the landing gear (and this was the only method for doing so).

Kinda like the 28 turns of the mouse scroll wheel it took to get to the bottom of your post! :laughing:

The very first effective US carrier borne fighter aircraft in USN history. In the fight under many flags from the start of WWII to the finish, the Wildcat is a legend. I’m glad to see Got Friends has decided to pay homage with this project for MSFS. Can’t wait to experience it.

28 turns and mostly needing two hands as well… Just imagine the user complaints if this was simulated properly.

they can simulate the way the airplane bobbed up and down while the pilot cranked on the LG handle - it was a signature flight characteristic…she’d just need to porpoise a bit for about 13 seconds and mostly during ‘gear up’ as gravity assisted the ‘down cranking’

I doubt it would matter much. Like me, most probably push a button that works the simulation for them :smiley:

Pics look fantastic… I am sure it will be as good as all your other work!
