This is an update for the aircraft config, air file and panel file folder for the deHavilland DHC-6 C-FOPI. Add these files/folder to the main model file and replace file when asked. That will do it. This will update the HP rating from 620 HP per engine to 250 HP per engine (this will help for slowing down when on approach, final and landing, and will add a gear up/down gauge/lever. If you do not want to change the HP rating just replace the panel folder to add the gear up/down lever. See pictures and read me for credits and further instructions. This model has been revised for Prepar3d V6

This is an update for the aircraft config file for the deHavilland DHC-6 C-FOPI that I just uploaded to re-position the virtual cockpit. Add this to the model file and replace file when asked, that is all there is to it.

General Motors FM-2 Wildcat VC-36 on USS Core (CVE-66) in the Atlantic, 1944. This composite squadron was credited with sinking 6 German U-boats. In 1942, automobile manufacturer General Motors converted several of its east coast factories to aircraft production under the name Eastern Aircraft Division. Eastern received contracts to build F4F-4 Wildcat fighters and TBF-1 'Avenger' torpedo planes, allowing Grumman to gradually reconcentrate its energies on the new, urgently-needed F6F 'Hellcat' fighter. The GM F4F-4s, redesignated FM-1s, had only four .50 caliber machine guns, but were otherwise little changed from the original model. Well over a thousand FM-1 fighters were delivered in 1942-43, including some three hundred for the British Royal Navy. Meanwhile, Grumman had prototyped a new Wildcat under the designation XF4F-8, which was to be produced by Eastern Aircraft as the FM-2. With lightened structure and a more powerful Wright R-1820 radial engine, the FM-2 was notably quicker, faster climbing, longer ranged and more maneuverable than its predecessor. To help control the increased power, the new plane had a distinctive, taller vertical tail. All-in-all, it was a great improvement, and more than four thousand FM-2s were built in 1943-45. Of those, over three hundred went to the British.

Yakovlev Yak-1 series 43 to 65 Unit: 1 GvIAP sometime in 1942 Pilot: unknown The Yakovlev Yak-1 was the first variant of the Yak fighter aircraft family. Early production Yakovlev fighter aircraft were among the greatest piston-engine fighters created during World War II, despite often being overshadowed in media by their Western counterparts. The Yakovlev bureau created the Yak-1 in response to a Soviet government request in 1938 for a fighter made mostly of wood for ease of maintenance, repair, and, most importantly, mass production. The initial design was given the designation "I-26" after the Soviet Air Force approved its mass production. Once production began, the aircraft's designation changed to the more common "Yak-1". Some 13,947 Yak-1 aircraft were produced in 192 continuous series each incorporating improvements so as to not interrupt production rates. The first number of series had a non-sliding clear rear canopy section. This was later changed to part of the fuselage with rear quarter windows. Starting with the 20th series, the Yak-1 aircraft were equipped with an RSI-4 transceiver radio and the tail wheel was made non-retractable. In June 1942, the M-105PA engine on serial Yak-1 aircraft was replaced with a more powerful, but lower-altitude M-105PF, boosted from 910 to 1050 mm Hg. serially produced from June 1942 to July 1944. A total of 5,672 aircraft were produced. Bomb racks were installed from the 5th to the 126th series and from the 148th series until the end of production, i.e. until the 192nd series of the Saratov plant No. 292. From the 127th to the 147th series (from February to June 1943), bomb racks were not installed due to work to lighten the aircraft. During the serial production of the Yak-1, only 7,509 machines with bomb racks were produced. The Yak-1 was equipped with rocket armament was produced from the 43rd to the 65th series (from October 1941 to May 1942). It consisted of six RS-82 rockets. A total of 1,148 Yak-1s with RS-82 were built. Apparently bomb rack and rocket racks were not interchangeable in the field. Universal armament was: 1 x 20 mm ShVAK cannon, nose-mounted (120 rpg) 2 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns, nose-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total) Credits Captain Kurt: Aircraft model, VC, paint textures, aircraft flight files, and .dp 2D Panel: Morton with permission to modify Kelticheart: Prop blurred texture Gauges: Most are by Morton for the Br Yak-9U Bombs, rockets, and racks are from Ivan Hsu's I-16 series

Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat VF-2 USS Lexington (CV2) Lt. Albert O. Vorse Coral Sea May 1942 The original Grumman F4F-1 design was a biplane, which proved inferior to rival designs, necessitating a complete redesign as a monoplane, the F4F-2. This design was still not competitive with the Brewster F2A Buffalo which won initial U.S. Navy orders. Grumman completely rebuilt the prototype as the XF4F-3 with new non-folding wings and tail and a supercharged version of the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 "Twin Wasp" radial engine.Testing of the new XF4F-3 led to an order for F4F-3 production models, the first of which was completed in February 1940. The U.S. Navy officially adopted the aircraft type as the Wildcat. Armed with four .50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns, it joined active units in 1940. At the time of Pearl Harbor, only Enterprise had a fully equipped Wildcat squadron, VF-6. By the end of February, 1942 the US Navy had replaced its Brewster F2A's with the F3F-3 and F3F-3A Wildcats. The fixed wing F4F-3 Wildcat was generally outperformed by its major opponent the Mitsubishi Zero, but it was more successful in combat partly because, with relatively heavy armor and self-sealing fuel tanks, the Grumman airframe could survive far more damage. In the hands of an expert pilot with a tactical advantage, the Wildcat could prove a difficult opponent even against the formidable Zero. USN Commander "Jimmy" Thach devised a very effective defensive tactic that allowed Wildcat formations to act in a coordinated crossover maneuver to counter a diving attack, called the "Thach Weave".

North American P-51 / F-6A Mustang Unit:154th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, Tunesia April 1943 Pilot: Lt. Alfred C. Schwab For aid to Great Britain under the Lend-Lease program, the USAAF ordered 150 model P-51 Mustangs with a Letter of Intent on 7 July 1941. Four 20mm cannon replaced the mixed caliber machine gun arrangement of the British Mk I Mustang. As production of the P-51 airplanes ramped up in late 1941, it was decided that the USAAF would retain fifty-eight of the 150. The first example (41-37320) was delivered to the USAAF as the one-of-a-kind P-51-1-NA to serve as the prototype F-6 photographic reconnaissance and mapping variant. Another 54 were delivered as P-51-2-NA airplanes that were modified to serve as photo reconnaissance planes. In the summer of 1942 these 55 were re-designated as F-6A-1-NA rather than P-51-1/2 airplanes. One P-51 (41-37426) was acquired by the US Navy for aircraft carrier sea trials and was assigned US Navy Bureau Number 57987. The last of the keepers were two P-51s (41-37352 and 41-37421) which were retained to become the XP-51B airplanes. Therefore, the RAF only received 92 of these aircraft as Mustang Mark IA airplanes instead of the 150 it had requested. It's been written that the F6 modification included installation of two K-24 cameras behind the pilot s seat or alternatively, that one was behind the pilot seat and one in the rear fuselage. However contemporary photos show only the single camera behind the pilot seat and never any second camera.
