Grumman F9F-8 Cougar US Navy

The Grumman Cougar was the first swept wing operational jet fighter to enter service with the US Navy. Developed from the straight winged F9F Panther, the F9F-6 Cougar first flew on 20th September 1951 & entered service in late 1952.

The Grumman Cougar package contains four versions of the single seat aircraft the F9F-6, F9F-6P, F9f-8, and F9F-8P. It also contains an armed and unarmed versions of the F9F-8T Trainer aircraft.

The Cougars may work in FSX but have not been tested in it.

INSTALLATION

Put the F9F Cougars single seat and F9F CougarTrainers into your FS9 Aircraft folder.

The gauge CAB file is to be placed in the FS9 Gauge folder (Just the CAB file, not the folder they came in.)

Put the two effects files into your FS9 Effects folder. (Just the two files, not the folder they came in.)

FEATURES

This aircraft has operating forward and rear speed brake, spoilerons, and all other standard animations (NOTE: the rear speed brakes will close when the flaps are lowered).

IMPORTANT: If the effects, such as the wing vortices or engine smoke, are on all the time, or not working at all, then you may have started the aircraft in an exterior view. To fix it, just cycle through the views and they should work properly.

There is one texture for each aircraft because of my limited texture knowledge it is only a basic Navy texture no squadron markings
