UPDATE 2: May 07, 2022 Epervier supplied me the last three files required for completing all planes I know of in this Curtiss family. They being the Hawk 75A-1, -2 and -7. This should be the last update, for a while anyway, unless some error has crept in that requires fixing.
UPDATE 1: May 07, 2022 Epervier supplied me the files for the Hawk 75A-3 and -4, which are now included. Remaining to look at are the Hawk 75A-1, -2 and -7.
A little project I wanted to realize for a long time is the assignment to separate triggers of the HMGs and LMGs, or cowl and wing guns, on the early P-40s and its immediate predecessors, the Hawk 75/P-36. As far as I understand, historically the pilot could choose which guns would fire. I offer two versions: The default typically has the cowl or .50 cal guns as 'primary', fired with the usual trigger 1; the wing or .303 cal guns are fired with trigger 2. There are a couple of departures from this. You can choose to reverse the trigger assignments; some might prefer to have the wing or light guns fire on trigger 1 (primary). A readme file is included.
The 12 planes affected:
Hawk 75A-1
Hawk 75A-2
Hawk 75A-3
Hawk 75A-4
Hawk 75A-7
P-36A-3
P-36A-4
Hawk 81A-2
P-40B
P-40C
