    @ZwillingerLuftfox46 thanks! I agree, the Wildcat's landing gear are pretty cool, however I was trying to keep the part count as low as possible, and this was also designed initially for an old Gestour challenge for AI planes

    @ThePilotDude Dude this is wonderful. Except the landing gear. One of the main reasons that I like the Wildcat over the Hellcat is because of the fact that the landing gears go into the side of the fuselage. However I'm still downloading this because it's beautiful. especially the way that you made the games cockpit looks so natural and realistic.
