[REL] Rockets mod

Whatever happened to the one in RSRDC phase I??

I'm still looking for my v1.3 Fall of the Rising Sun, which is backed-up ~somewhere~ on this computer... but I do remember looking for the Hellcat in there before... I'm too old though to remember what I found...


... and looking through the v1.3 FotRS, I do not see a "Hellcat", neither Douglass nor Grumman...

Confirmed.

I had a look into FoTRS 1.4's Names.cfg, and apparently it uses the Wildcat model that Kendras was working on when he asked for help on the buggy hard edges issue, as an Hellcat (I also opened the plane is S3D to make sure that it was the same model):

The FoTRS 1.5 update doesn't change this situation

Thank you for the investigation, mates !

How is it with the Wildcat's model and textures ?

I had put this project on stand-by, but I am resuming it while I wait for more feed-back on the reefs for your lighthouse mod

So, I will work on this mod today to release a first version, without Gap's work (new rockets and bombs models, new Wildcat model, perhaps new Hellcat model too). I want to finish this.

I'm still voting in the affirmative for a "real" Hellcat model... just so we can borrow it for FotRSU in SH4...
