I´m delighted by the new Typhoon - thanks V2K!!!!! With the shadow bug just fixed the only missing thing (not V2K fault) is the cockpit wich´s the bubble type. As Stary is out for unknown reason, my plea goes to Raven or someone else to make a new Typhoon car door pit. The crowd will be pleased. Any takers?

Sorry V2K, I didn´t catch... Is there a Typhoon pit in the works? If so I´ll take my pills right now!

he's talking about the later mark Tiffys with bubble tops (IB, irrc), not cockpits. Which, if we're very lucky and bribe him with expensive liquors, may also give us a Tempest.

 

With judicious ini editing, and perhaps the "OpenCockpit=TRUE" statement, you can have the framing show.

Humm... Nice to know. I did my "opencockpit=TRUE" version and you can try by adding this to the Typhoon_Cockpit.INI:

 

ExternalClipDistMin=0.044

OpenCockpit=TRUE

Position=0.0,-0.43,0.734

OffSet=0.0,0.02,0.034

ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

Is a stop-gap fix but it looks a little weird as the upper canopy hatch has a gap at the hinge. Check it out.

Hello,

 

I've found this with your figures!

bubble top

[Wilches 1,167]

Holy Cow! V2K, you not belong to this earth. BTW, the bubble canopies has a whip antenna in place of the old fixed mast. Fantastic!

[Wilches 1,167]

V2K, for the car-door version, what´s the node name for the Antenna mast?

[+Coupi 4,340]

Ohhhhh! Bubble top Typhoon variant!... the way for a future Tempest Mk.V?

 

Yesterday I read... the "Le Grand Cirque" by Pierre Clostermann our WW2 ace who flew the Hawker fighter...

 

- "Break Port Talbot!

- Flat-out, climbing... Don't let your speed drop!

- Hullo Railroad, better come and give us a hand... Forty 109 over Hoya,

- Joint-up Blue 3 and 4,... for Christ's sake

- Joint up!!!

- Talbot Blue 3 Break!

- Talbot,... breaking port... Attack!!!" (Tempest vs Messerschmitt, page 193)

 

Many thanks Veltro2k!

 

Coupi.

Spinners pointed out a little flaw in the roundels.  Packages have been fixed if you don't  want to download the whole things again here is just the fix.

new

[+Veltro2k 6,350]

something different ?

[Wrench 9,747]

needs more framing on the nose; E's didn't carry the squadron code, plane-in-group or air division markings. Just serials (we can fix that as needed)

 

I can dig up some images if needed, Ed.

 

I LIKES it!!!

 

edit: just a pic from a quick search of my books. If you need a front view, I've got one of them too!

Like this ? uses same skin map as the others

Edited May 1, 2014 by Veltro2k

[Wilches 1,167]

Just to make it clear - Is the B-17E? Is so, that´s fantastic!!

[Wrench 9,747]

Wilches: Yes; post 113th built (as evidenced by the Sperry ball turret)

 

Ed, that's damn near perfect!!  I've already started running down nose arts & serials for the PTO version.

 

haven't decided on if trying to attempt the camo for the ETO versions...

Great work Ed!
