Been flying the KAW Campaign, and I was wondering if there's an Thunderjet cockpit floating around somewhere.  For some reason I thought there was.

 

Then again I may be thinking of Il-2:1946.

 

Or imagining the whole thing.

 

Age does that.

WOW - Looks fantastic!...........Do the JATO bottles work? If so waht a great addition to the series.

 

Not really. It's a fake method. JATO is like an afterburner, and bottles disappear after flaps retract.

 

It looks to be a Stary´s pit and just like the F7F Tigercat one yet to be posted... if ever.

 

Pit was created by Flakiten and modded by Brain32. (I think Brain has improved the G pit)

Still a cool 'fake' method as long as it gives you a boost on take off with a heavy load.

I am still around doh! The Tigercat ones will be ready whn ready Wilches, I am busy with other stuff now

 

the fact that cockpit looks almost complete on screen from modder doesn't show some utterly annoying bugs the cockpit might have, simple as that

 

as for F-84 pits, yeah Brain32 has them, so do I but I can't say who has working version as I have only the max files and textures I think

 

edit; for clarification: Flakiten did the cockpits for Il2 histomod and Brain32 improved G I think plus made them SF2 compatible

I am working on them guys, be patient

 

Given I see no point holding these close to my chest anymore here they are -feel free to say big thank you to Flakiten for making and Brain32 for converting from Il2 and you can also pat me on the back for extra work if you don't mind. Had to redo the canopies from scratch, upscale the pits by 50% to match the properly scaled side drawings as were too small, update or redo some textures, redo some mapping etc, still have some issues with those

 

F-84E cockpit beta 0.9.ZIP

F-84G_new cockpit beta 0.9.zip

 

That said I must say those are functional "90% ok" versions, still have TODO:
-more accurate instruments placements (Flakiten's versions differ not a slightest bit between "G" and "E")

-working target distance dials on A-1 sights

-target lock light for "E"

-add cockpits light lamps meshes under the canopy system rails

-find good info on the lower central panel

-some minor tweaks here and there

-realise it's 2016 and that stock F-84F would surely use proper version based on these dammit

 

but otherwise these do work so give them a try -I am getting really bored with this whole abandoned piece of incompetent management called SF2 series (that would be my "with love" towards TK not our community, chill guys)

Wow Stary... this mod really has my attention because of the fact that I never really went to the trouble to get the jets stuff up and running in IL2---which im kinda over...I pretty sure I have what I need to put together an install, and I read the readme---but how hard was it really to get up and running? (im alittle dense) lol

in SF2 right? Because these won't work in Series 1. Have you properly added these cockpits to the particular aircrafts? The "G" is for the new KAW "G" model, be sure to have it too

Stary...I bonked on 1 of the steps---but it now works great and is much to awesome for words...as a KW noob can you suggest which 84 to start with, and in which campaign?

 

I like nape as well as a to a... (might not mess with the pits till I get my feet wet)
