+Wrench Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 View File Ho-229V3A Pak Horton Ho-229V3a Flying Wing Upgrade Pak For SF/WoV/WoE: ETO & MTO "SWOTL" Style Installs -06 Patch Level Installs ONLY This is a semi-new aircraft, based off Pako's original Ho-229. I've created a 'production' variant, had the War In Europe lasted further into 1945/46. This is a complete aircraft mod, with all parts included. The new inis will reflect the 'full production' version, as this aircraft can be tasked with pretty much all mission profiles. 2 underwing (body?) pylons have been added via the Fake Pilot Method for bombs, drop tanks and the Kramer X-4 air-to-air missile. The weapons are NOT included; they can be found in my WW2 Weapons Pak, available at CombatAce. Other tweeks (borrowed from my post-war What If.. F-79 Manta) include the additon of running, formation and landing lights. Two new skins, from my upsized home-grown templates with all redrawn panel lines, and standard Luftwaffe stencling, are included. They are: JG-1 in Europe, done up in a 1945-ish RLM 70/81 over 78 JG-27 in North Africa/Middle East, done in a 'mottle' finish of RLM 79/80 over 78 (the same as the Fw-190 skin I did some years back) 1/JG-400, Pasko's original skin for Europe, with new individual aircraft numbers. So, in essence, you can create 2 new aircraft; one for your "SWTOL" ETO install and another for a MTO version. The 2 new skins are NOT designed to work together in an ETO only based install. See "Splitting Theatre Usage" in the Install Instructions below. Also, there is some "unique" behavior exhibited in the 06 patch level games, PLEASE read the "Flying the 229" section in the "Notes" below!!! Individual aircraft number decals for 32 aircraft are included for all, as they are different colors. Unfortunatly no Stab markings are included, although I DO have them as decals around here somewheres..... Just couldn't figure out HOW to do them properly for a Flying Wing!! The tail swastika is also NOT on the aircraft, which IS historically accurate, as there are NO vertical surfaces for it to be put on! My patent-pending artwork-style Hangar and Loading screens are also included, as are the damage tgas. As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read it all the way through, so as to be familarized with the procedures, and whatever issues I've encountered. Good Hunting!

Shaolin Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I just "thumbed" through "Monogram Close-Up 12 - Horten 229", and found something interesting. It looks like the Ho 229 was intendet to carry two MK 103, not the two MK 108 you always see on it... And if you look at Pasko's model you will recognise the two long barrels - the 108 had short barrels! Quote
thebeast0449 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) ok have followed instructions -I have the 06 install wov -2 weps share 1 pylon oops - silly me-got the LWPilot sorted.cheers big w Edited July 3, 2009 by thebeast0449 Quote
+Wrench Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 can u post a screenie??? Weapons are fine for me (just look at the screenie above!!) You must be missing the correct pilot figure .. it's the same dude that came with the original aircraft, pasko's LWPilot. wrench kevin stein Quote
Shaolin Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 You have to copy the contents of the "229Pylon" folder into the "Aircraft" folder - it is the "invisible pilot" you can see! But the shared pylon thing is something i can confirm - if you load four X-4 you can see only two... Quote
+Wrench Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 Dude, what ARE you doing?? You can ONLY load 2 Kramers --- look at the loadout ini!!!! Are we even talking about the same airplane??? The Peregrine has 4 pylons, the Ho-229 only has 2.... look at MY screenies ... I just took them... 2 X-4s, 2 drop tanks 2 SC-250 without screenies of what YOU'RE seeing, I can only guess as to the 'problem"!!! wrench kevin stein Quote

+Wrench Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 Remove the IRM statement from Stations 1 & 2; glitch on my part that I didn't catch on final testing. One man can only do so much... AND.... if one looks VERY closley at the 4 weapons staions, you'll see they are actually 2 duplicated station sets, set ONLY to take certain types of weapons. This is a TMF trick they use on most of their stuff; some stations are in EXACTLY the same place, but can ONLY load certain types of weapons for certain types of missions (look at all their Mirages for an example) That's what loadout inis are for .... specifying WHAT kind of weapon goes on WHICH station. Trust me, loadouts is my thang!! (look at the KB for references!) nice switch on the gun!! I'll fix my perosnal one too! wrench kevin stein Quote

+Wrench Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks! That top cgi image would make a GREAT loading screen!! that 2nd to last one is the full scale radar model Nor-Grum built for the National Geographic show on the 229 -- it now resides in the San Deigo Air & Space Museum (great show too...and proved that yes, it has a reduced RCS with WW2 radars) wrench kevin stein Quote
rotarycrazy Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I did what the readme says and the pilons dont show, I copy from the pylons folder into the aircraft folder and no show, what am I doing wrong? Quote
+Wrench Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 There is as yet insufficent information for a meaningful response...* Please outline the exact steps you performed... -------------- which game? Which series (original or NextGen)? original series does NOT use folderized 'pilot seats' From the readme: =============Installing the FakePilot Pylons: FastCargo's "fakepilot'' has been included, no need to go hunting around for it. I've designed this with the 06/08 patch levels in mind, so the pylons are just loose in the 229Pylon folder. However, for those insane enough to attempt usage in SF2 series installs, you can simply drop the existing folder INTO your /**/**/***/Pilots folder in wherever the hell it at. You should know how it works by now. For everyone else (06/08) SF/SF/WoV/WoE users, just take the bits from inside the folder and drop them into your main /Aircraft folder, where all the other pilots and seats reside. That'll take care of that. It can't get any easier than that. wrench kevin stein *=bonus points to identify the origination of that phrase Quote
