Awesome!

[Spinners 15,968]

Impressive!

[MrGoTime 20]

How did you get the bigger bomber formations? I've only ever been able to get a flight of 4...more than that and I seem to have issues with them crashing into each other. 

 

That looks super awesome. 

[Wrench 9,475]

Them planes look awfully damn familiar!!!   

 

 

How did you get the bigger bomber formations

 

Don't fly them.

The game engine ™  will always generate AI formations for the proper size. It's only when player controlled they get screwed up.

 

Dan, don't forget the Natter bases! I don't know if I ever uploaded the modified targets ini (and types in!) with them (but have them scattered around some of the major cities)

 

 

(note to self: bug fubar for the 163 with corrected FM)

[MrGoTime 20]

Ahhh lame. I was hoping to fly them in formations. The best bomber sim I've been able to find has been B-17...which was great, but looking for something a bit modern. 

 

Either way - that install looks outstanding!

[Stratos 3,168]

Amazing mod! I'm speechless!

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Bloody hell!

[WalterOmar 11]

Looks fantastic! I´m working in something like this. Good work!!!

I thought the RAF really did use Stratoforts in '49-'55 timeframe and called them Washington B1s

[Wrench 9,475]

yes, they did. there should still be one in the SF1 downloads section

[+dtmdragon 2,606]

I thought the RAF really did use Stratoforts in '49-'55 timeframe and called them Washington B1s

They were post war strategic bombers until the Canberra became operational. However for Luft ’46 the one here is the USAAF B-29 supplied to the RAF under the WWII Lend-lease program. The name ‘Superfortress Mk I' comes from the WWII RAF style of aircraft naming, eg the Lend-lease P-51D Mustang was the ‘Mustang Mk IV’ in RAF service etc

Here are the Nazi’s... most were SF1 So I had to update their data.ini to SF2 standards etc. I changed the Natter rocket pod to an air-to-air one by using the data from the TW Lightning as a guide so the A.I. Natters will all engage bombers with their rockets.

Go229

Does it have proper cockpit?

[fallenphoenix1986 603]

Ok, up until now I've had no interest in the WW2 side of the TW games... this just got my attention in a big way

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

I want this so much.

Perhaps as much as a remake of the good old Aces of the Pacific 1946. 

 

For those who know them, it's so Blake & Mortimer's "Secret of the Swordfish" http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-moxlCv5jb_U/VA-RSe82mBI/AAAAAAAAGxE/JYKUo68h8H0/s1600/Secret_Swordfish_1.jpg

[Wrench 9,475]

The Horten wing has a "semi' proper cockpit ... meaning it has one, and it's German. and let me tell ya, it was a nightmare to get it to fit even this close...(the model has some issues, not the least of which is the lack of 'drag rudders', pylons and so forth)

 

the screenie is zoomed back a bit, to show as much as possible

the only major problem I see with a Luft '46 mod, is the reliance on so many DAT items. Those that know about that, know the restrictions and lack of availability to the general public

[Do335 382]

Wrench that looks good enough with a retro (and IL2) vibe going on...

[Gatling20 748]

It all looks great!!

Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (I don't think the FAA squadron codes are quite right as I couldn't find any good info on how they worked during WW II)
