We've been having problems getting the Pfalz D3 cockpit to display, probably because we are using a hodge-podge of files which are not always compatible. For a reality check, I loaded a rough version of the cockpit into the old Pfalz DR1 model. Shots below show it being nudged into position.

Heck and VonS have been very helpful with file development, and are considering more comprehensive data and info packs for the Fighting The Flying Circus concept. Speaking of which, the Nieuports 17/24/28 will have some really colorful opponents.

View File SF2:I 3W Vautour IIA Upgrade Pack SF2:I 3W Vautour IIA Upgrade Pack 11/23/2017 = For SF2:I (or Any & All, Full-4/5 Merged Preffered) = *Can be used in any merged install that has access to the SF2I Meteor F.8, as this cockpit is referenced for this aircraft. It is the "best, closest fit" Hence, the 'Full-5 Merged' tag is applicable* Extensive modifications and upgrades to the stock 3W S.O.4050 Vautour IIA as used by the IDF/AF,and French Air Force. As seen on the CombatAce message boards, the aircraft gets the addition of the missing outboard wing pylons. These are attached via the 'fake pilot' method. The only disadvantage is, they are always present, even when not loaded. A fact that must be lived with. Also, as stated above, with the addition of a cockpit, the aircraft is now "Player Usable". Many other modification have been performed, and all are listed in the "Notes" section of this readme. Loadouts have been adjusted, as have several other important statements in the data ini. All weapons used are stock 3W items, meaning they still use the UK bombs. End Users (tm) that wish to swap our to the various French bombs available in weapons packs may do. Be advised, I did =NOT= test with those, so their attachment positions -may- not match. Even though there isn't another Vautour IIA, I've added a statement to the "displayed name", so it now reads: Vautour IIA (3W) This is just one of my usual "things", when more than one of the type exists. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Good Hunting!

Great stuff gents' - wonderful to see large scale modding for FE2 happening! I'm also tweaking the Camels further to include some of their flight peculiarites, also the Nieu. 11 is receiving an overhaul - since it was too "numb" in its earlier FM versions, and have corrected an obscure error with Cydc airfoil values that were missing for some of the ailerons on the Nieu. 16 types. Will include these fixes and previous ones for the Nieu. 28 and 24bis in a ver. 9.1 of the FM update pack, and will also try to get the FMs done for the Pup and Tripehound from A-Team for that update pack, including more varieties of observation balloon colors and realistic heights. It'll be a special edition of the FM update pack called "Camels, Pups and Gasbags." Happy flying, Von S

Here my previous flyable stock Vautur IIA for skins and historical decals .... maybe useful .

Trying to modify the F-106 cockpit to better represent the six shooter M61 gunpod gun sight.

Frame rates can be a big issue with the WW2 bombers. I had to reduce graphic settings for my WW2 install to avoid a slide show when intercepting bombers during BoB time frames. I suspect the turrets use a lot of computing power but all the tracer TGA's seem to have a big effect as well. This is particularly noticeable when a bunch of eight gun Hurricanes or Spitfires are engaging a formation of bombers. Turning down the in game effects setting can help quite a bit.

Ok, as promised, after hitting 300 pages, I've closed that old thread, and have now opened a new one!! Remember, no posting without a screenshot!! Have it people!!! Enjoy!

Some progress and reference shots.

Indeed, Paulo's decals are the bomb!! I highly reccomend his skin & decal pack! however, the F-86D cockpit would be wrong for a non-radar equipped aircraft. OTH, the F-86F would work (if one dosen't have the Meatbox F.8 available). It's also missing some textures, but that's a very easy fix!! While we're talking about the other Vautours, Paulo, do you still have the template for Veltro's IIN?? It could really use an NMF and the IDF Blue/Brown camo!! I'd be glad to do them, if you don't have time.
