+Geezer Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I am back working on 1930s stuff after having my computer damaged during the move to a new city. The Curtiss Hawk II is nearing completion. The Curtiss A-12 is pretty much done. I have also started work on a Yokosuka B4Y Jean. Quote
+Geezer Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 I am back working on 1930s stuff after having my computer damaged during the move to a new city. I forgot to mention that I have previously posted as Geezer - I've used Geezer and Veltro205 interchangeably for years. I forgot my old CA password and now have a new email address, so I re-registered as Veltro205 this time. I'm also working on a generic 1930s cockpit for these birds (shots below). I enjoy the hell out of 3D modeling and texturing, but the intermediate step of mapping is a stone drag - I've begun mapping the Northrop2E but will now concentrate on getting the Hawk II and Nakajima into First Eagles for basic testing. Then, I plan on making a Ki.30 Ann, Martin 139, and G3M Nell. As I work slowly, that should keep me busy for the next two years! Quote
+Wrench Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Martin 139 is the export version of the B-10??? I've got MontyCZ's Chinese Hawk III nearly redone; reskinned, new FM (borrowed from a contemporaneous aircraft -while not perfect, it flys a whole hell of a lot better!! ) BTW--volenteers needed to check it, and adjust -EXPERIENCED ONLY NEED APPLY!!! New decals, cockpit borrowed from CA_Starys P-26 --now, if I could only get it stop 'jumping up' into position on takeoff... The question remains...how much of the biplane FM is in WoE, post patch....?????? As that's were all my WW2 stuff is (and probalby most others; that or WoV). The older prop-jobs still have some 'issues', and all need adjustments. BUT...since the other maps now work in FE, as long as one of the Original 3 Terrains reside in FE's terrain folder for cat pointer reachback, how much actual differences between them (FE, WoE, WoV, WoI) exist anymore?? Good to see you back! Wrench kevin stein Quote

BUT...since the other maps now work in FE, as long as one of the Original 3 Terrains ™ reside in FE's terrain folder for cat pointer reachback, how much actual differences between them (FE, WoE, WoV, WoI) exist anymore?? Yep - the Martin 139 was the export version of the B-10, used by China, Siam (Thailand), and the Dutch East Indies. I don't claim to understand the trade-offs between the various TW sims, but the latest ones (FE and WOI) will get future developments and improvements that the earlier ones won't. Didn't I read someplace that TK did not plan on more upgrades to the earlier sims? Correct me if I am wrong here. If you are willing to gradually convert your earlier work to the newer sims, maybe we could kinda/sorta cooperate as I will eventually expand the Chinese coverage into WW2. Quote
