Superfortress Pack v1.5

Superfortress Pack v1.5

=========================================================================================

INSTALLATION :

1. Drop the folders called "B-29B" and "Washington B.1"into your "Aircraft" directory.

( Strike Fighters/ Objects/Aircraft or Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft )

2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the two .wav files into your Sounds Folder.

3. You should have the most current weapons pack installed, as well as the latest patch.

( Strike Fighters SP3.1 standard, or WOV Patch 2 standard )

========================================================================================

NOTES:

A. MontyCZ's original release of the B-29 was as an AI Only aircraft. There are reasons for this

in that SFP1 currently doesn't support heavy bombers targeting systems. However, sim pilots

( being what they are ) will want to take these birds for a spin. To this end, the config.ini

has been modified to use an A-4B cockpit, so these birds are flyable. The data.inis have been

modified so that the Copilot is not visible ( preventing the disconcerting image of the

copilot hanging out in space while you're flying ).

B. There are a number of minor errors: the Washington B.1's upper forward turret should have 4 .50s

visible instead of two barrels visible on the model. The extras guns are there in the data.ini.

The tail gun position on the B-29B should have the 20mm barrel showing ( it's in the data.ini ).

You have the extra guns, they just don't show.

========================================================================================

ISSUES:

1. Monty's original release was AI only. I have adjusted the planes so that the A-4B cockpit can be used.

Currently, there is both a B-29 cockpit & a working bombsight mod in the works. Until such time as they

are released, consider the A-4B pit as a placeholder. You will need to enable the copilot to be seen in

the data.inis when you upgrade to a new cockpit.

2. On some terrains, the friendly airfields will not be long enough in order for the B-29s to take off. I

have changed the minimum base size from LARGE to MEDIUM in order for the B-29s to be compatable with more

terrains. This can be adjusted in the data.ini by changing this line :

MinBaseSize=MEDIUM

You can change the base size by replacing MEDIUM with either LARGE, or SMALL.

CREDITS :

1. Many Thanks to MontyCZ for kindly allowing me to release these mods of his B-29.

2. Hangarscreens by "The Wrench".

3. PropLoop4 is based on Pinch's PropLoop3, with the speed slowed & reversed to provide a "deeper" engine .wav.

Enjoy!
