About This File

This is the first of four projects I have been working on for the last 6 months. It will be followed shortly by Ultimate Packages for the F3H-2M and F3H-2 variants, along with a F7U Cutlass Ultimate Package.

 

The F3H-2N was the first of three Demon variants developed in parallel with each other. It was meant to be an all-weather fighter for fleet use.

Armament consisted of four 20mm cannon and 4 pods of 2.75inch FFAR's. Later the rockets were dropped in favor of the new Sidewinder missile which had just become available. Sparrow capability was added later in its life when most 2N's were upgraded to F3H-2 models.

 

Being underpowered was its major flaw. The original Westinghouse J-40 never materialized and the J-71 was fitted instead. Pilots called the Demon the "Lead Sled" or just "Sled".

 

This is a major rework of the existing F3H-2M demon file into the 3 variants. Almost everything has been tweeked to make it more accurate in appearance and performance. The skins have been painstakingly researched and re-created. Every squadron which flew

the Demon is represented here including changes in their scheme over time. The flight model has been adjusted to fly like the Demon and give you performance worthy of its nickname. The four cannons are present along with the FFAR's and early Sidewinders. There are new Hangar and Loading Screens as well.

Nice work. Of course, they did finally make a variant of the Demon that solved the power-to-weight ratio. But just as the F-5G got renamed F-20, the radically evolved F3H-G eventually became the F4H-1 :)

I love this plane!

 

All three of the Ultimate Demon planes have the same seat issue.

 

Changing the data.ini from 0.0000,3.0000,1.1313 to 0.0000,3.3125,1.1313 for both the seat and pilot makes it match pictures of the real thing.

 

A small thing, easily fixed.
