Got Friends Releases Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat for MSFS

 

Got Friends recently took to their Facebook page to announce the release of the Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The rendition is one of several add-ons created by the developer for the platform.

Key Features of the F4F-4

The Got Friends F4F-4 has many notable features. Firstly, the add-on has a high-fidelity flight model with NPS (New propeller system), CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation), and Soft Body Simulation. The developer has also developed the aircraft’s interior to a high level of detail with features including an in-cockpit map tray as well as a collimated gunsight with two reticle options. Additionally, the add-on features droppable bombs, nighttime tracers, several custom animations, as well as 12 historically accurate 4K liveries with a paint kit available on Got Friends website.

The aircraft furthermore also features a high-fidelity WWISE sound package with custom engine and foley sounds. As the F4F-4 was primarily a carrier-based aircraft, the add-on includes a tailhook, simulated launch bar, and aircraft carrier support with Touching Cloud, Jay Shrike, and Supercarrier Pro. Furthermore, the aircraft includes engine vibration effects, crash damage modeling, and a complex electrical system with circuit breakers.
