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
