Final versions of the F7F before moving on to different aircraft types for Project Beartrap.






Download features excellent paint schemes by ecf111 and some superb aerial ordnance from DreamK. A thirty single mission pack included to showcase the A-8A's and SE-1's capabilities.

I have made this mod compatible for BAT 4.1.1 but it can also be installed on 4.12 with ModAct5.3 & SAS_Engine_Mod_2.8.20 (or better).

This latest version of Project Beartrap also includes the radial versions of the F7F, the RP-54E drone, towed targets & messages, generic carriers & submarines, ground radars, mine flails, surface targets, airfield vehicles & facilitates. Please see Project Beartrap Guide 210205 (in the download) for more details and install instructions. As seen from the Change Log, a significant number of tidy ups and tweaks have been done on the project.




Any issues, please post your logfile.

cheers mace

WOW Mace!!! Looks amazing, let me just scrape my jaw off the floor!!!
An inline Tigercat?  Never would thought of that, looks sleek.  I appreciate all functionality you bring to your modules.

[SAS~Ghost129er]

Mace is Ace

[SAS~Storebror]

Cool stuff

[throttle_control]

 Incredible. I have everything but the high resolution mod. So maybe what I type next is irrelevant. On a concrete runway e.g not carrier using the chock's/ chock command crashes the game to desktop.... Everything else works so far though I tried out the homing torpedo's. Pretty cool. There is nothing to let the user know if the torpedo was successful. Did kill ship though.

[erafitti]

Great mods pack. Hunter-killer concept.

Un saludo.

[epicgamer2010]

yes mace is back and with new cats yeah now with this and the other f7f pack by mace aswell ASW and AWACS has gone to super sonic heights.
enemy bombers your doom has arrvied.

and from what i can gather from the both the description and change log that this new pack combines both f7f verisons and lso objects and aerial targets and signs. if so thank you mace than less mod folders in my main mod folder eg #SAS since it does take five minutes for game to fully load though but worth it with these f7fs in the game one billion percent yes.

 It takes 5 minutes to load really? It takes less than a second for me...

 ERROR CRASH:
I can't get the f7f's to take off from carrier. I get a crash every time. But I can take off with any other stock or modded plane other than the f7f's. The chock's crash the game for me as well. The nuclear bomb (fusion) crashes game for me too, but dumb bombs, rockets, semi guided homing cruise missile flies..

 IMPRESSIVE: The reverse thrust works, ty so much. So cool. siphoning fuel from the drop tanks works.

Geschirrspülmaschine19, [FAC]Ghost129er, SAS~Storebror, throttle_control, erafitti, & epicgamer2010 thank you for the positive comments and feedback, very much appreciated.

throttle_control if you can PM me a logfile that would be great.

Mod was tested on clean installs of BAT 4.1.1 and 4.12 with ModAct5.3 & SAS_Engine_Mod_2.8.20 and all good. throttle_control I suspect your issue may be with your version of Engine_Mod.

cheers mace

[KingTiger503]

Great one Mace, Very Perfect  .

Keep it up 


Best Regards KT503

[Mission_bug]

Excellent work mace, thank you very much, really appreciated.

Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
