Hey Ed

 

I was working on another skin and found a little issue you might want to address in an update.

No rush.

Second that... Have you try it in SFP1? Im my install the plane looks half burried in the tarmac and them explodes.

Been so damn busy with the terrain mods, I didn't install this until yesturday. Yes, it's definatly 'sitting' too low.

 

At mission start, it looks like the cockpit is 1-2 meters above the aircraft, then you explode. Your wingmates are sunk into the ground the up the belly of the bird,then they start doing summersaults (tail over nose). Very strange!

 

Almost like the world center is set too low???? Haven't tested 'in flight' yet...

That's the trouble with skinning - you tend to have the game set to start in the air. It gives you an immediate all around view, but you miss a few issues.

 

Ed's working like a machine - putting out one aircraft after another. I'd hate to see him spending all his time going back to old models. Us Prop Heads are pretty patient people.

I'll probably have a little package of tweeks ready to go by tommorrow, if that's OK with Ed. I swapped out the pit for the Hurricanes (slightly closer in the 'look'), adjusted the ammo counts and guns -now 7.5 MAC 1934 MGs and Hiso2 20mm, dialed in all the running lights, and some other small fiddelizations.

 

Now, we just need a Vichy skin....but no rush!! (I'm quite a ways from finishing off the necessary map rebuild!)

 

I think it flys pretty damn nice!

Again, thanks Ed for the fast fix!!
