FSX US Navy Grumman F6F Hellcat

US Navy Grumman F6F Hellcat "Minsi III", flown by MOH winner Cdr David McCampbell of VF-15, USS Essex. Textures only. Model by RealFlight Simulations. Repaint by Russel R. Smith.

This is a repaint of the RealFlight Simulations excellent F6F Hellcat. These textures represent Minsi III flown by MOH winner Cdr David McCampbell of VF-15, USS Essex. Cdr McCampbell was the US Navy's all time leading ace with 34 aerial victories during World War II. THESE ARE TEXTURES ONLY! You need the RealFlight Simulations F6F Hellcat payware package.

I have enclosed the aircraft config file for the one I use. You can modify the original to pick up texture.usn8. Extract the files to the "RF F6F_Hellcat" folder. The zip file contains all the essential files for this texture scheme and are dds files. Make sure "Use Folder Names" is checked so it will create the texture.usn8 folder when you extract the files. Copy the contents of texture.usn7 to the new texture.usn8 folder. DO NOT OVERWRITE ANY OF THE FILES IN TEXTURE.USN8.

CHANGE THE "X" TO THE NEXT NUMBER IN YOUR CONFIG FILE!! Copy and paste the entry below to your bottom of the list of aircraft in the aircraft.cfg file.

If you have any photos of Hellcats and want to share them with me I would appreciate it.

I would all so like to here your comments concerning the textures. Good, bad or indifferent. A comment would be appreciated.

REMEMBER. FLY NAVY!
