Yea, the panel couldn't find a file so it just wouldn't load anything. I moved the missing gauge files into the F4E/ path and all is well. The N1 gauges are oversized so I can read them... The little needle disappears on my 1024x768 display if they match the size of the other instruments. I don't have any flight numbers, either so its just a best guess effort. > The F4 is a "must" for my hangar as the German Luftwaffe used this > workhorse for a long periode in version F4F. AFAIK, the F4E and F4F are the same except for the combat avionics suite: radar and ECM. They certainly look the same. > When I had the change to get to a German F4F very very near some time > ago I noticed a hook although Germany has no carrier.

I left space for the hook. All F4 variants have one, the fact that it is missing kind of throws off the model's profile. I'm not sure how to animate it, though. It behaves much like a fourth landing gear, when extended it hangs even with the extended wheels then slides across the runway. > One question left: is it right that you cannot see any wingtip when > looking out of the cockpit backwards?

It is a feature :) The front cockpit is so far forward of the wing the aft bulkhead blocks the view. > All the best to you, thank you very much for your contribution to FG, > waiting for further versions.
