Paint question - Fighting Gator

Post by Private-Cowboy »

Hi there,

I just have a short question. I downloaded the neat Fighting Gator paint and was surprised. The readme says it should go into the -22 folder. Sitting there I noticed that it had a Curtiss prop. I thought the -22 had a Hamilton. Have I put the paint into the wrong folder? Or have I mixed up the prop/factory thing.

Thanks again for the great paint and thanks for the help.

It was fast, could outdive any other fighter on the planet, had excellent range, and packed huge firepower in its eight .50 caliber guns. It was superb at high altitudes, being equipped with a turbosupercharged, 2,300 HP engine that produced excellent power to over 30,000 feet.

oops, it could very well be possible that I got the props mixed up.
I'll have a look at it over the weekend, OK?

Not a problem at all. I was just wondering if I made a mistake. It doesn't display anything wrong, the prop just carries a Curtiss logo.

...and yes, Fighting Gator should be a -22, so the wrong prop there.
Do you want an update?

No no, you don't have to update that. It's simple to change if needed and I already did that myself. And besides it works well anyway, even with a Curtiss. :mrgreen:
