ravenclaw_007

for all who like to know how the tactics are with the real Buccaneer´s this are some pages of the S2B weapons manual and they show how it was done (if you like to have a copy of the Manual just give me a PM)

the HUD funktion can unfortunately not be implimented in to the game because of limited ground objects targeting funktion , if we have in the future a better avionics for bombers available i may add this funktions

Quick question - I'm not a Bucc guy at all so I'm not that familiar with the aircraft and it's history. What's the significance of the RAFG version?

no refuelprobe and the RAF Squdrons No.15 and No.16 , this two squadrons are the only ones with buccaneers based in germany even though the no.15 Sqaudron was formed in 1970 at RAF Honington shortly afterwards they moved to RAF Laarbruch in Germany

uploading the update right now

Please overwrite all existing files , Aircaft and Weapons

fit for a very , very long range bombing mission update will be up tonight with rotating bulged bombbay doors

ok this is what i did in a very long night , the bulged bombbay door is now working and you have the bombbay fuel tank as well , so if you run out of fuel it is not my fault

you can of course carry bombs instead of the bombbay fuel tank

i will upload the update by tomorrow

because of some changes regarding the bulged bombbay door the release for mid this week will be postponed antil all changes are made , sorry

ok i just got some pictures of the bulged bombbay doors , this bulged bombbay doors are this what we have now as "Bombbay-Fueltank" and this bulged bombbay doors are rotating with the bombbay door

so here is what i´m going to do now

- first i make a model of the Bombbayfueltank (it is only a cylinder mounted on to the bombracks of the bombbay)

- i add a new weaponsstation for the bulged bombbay door

- change all the lods and add the entry in the data_ini

- upload the version2.0 of all the Buccaneers

i hope that gets everybody satisfied

ps. please dont send me anymore PM about the HUD , as long as TK is not adding more ground/objects targeting capabilities to the games avionics this HUD is all you got and no the buccaneer did not have any CCIP , i have all the manuals and can prove that

Don´t know wich´s better - the plane or the cockpit! Splendid job by all means! I´m missing the bulged bomb doors... Next release?

do you have open and closed bulged bomb doors pictures

i apologize and remove the post

very nice job, beautiful airplane and cockpit.

 

I did notice the AoA gauge says "Angel of Attack" instead of "Angle of Attack".

i´m very very sorry that i did not find that error befor i released the Buccaneer´s , here is a quick fix just drop it in to all the Buccaneer cockpit folders

if you look araound in this cockpits you will find many animated objects like working Brake-Pedals , animated Handbrake lever , autopilot switch and indicator or off-flags on some instruments/indicators if the engine stops or you shut it down to name just a few of the funktions that i try to get it work , so take your time and check this pits

sorry again for this mishap with the typo error

hello

 

Thirdwire SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E/SF2:I - File Announcements look closed i cant't upload nothing

 

 

 

Christian

i´m just uploading and have no problem

but there is some changes regarding uploads , you have to go to the download-section and than you have to use the upload button and select from the menu wher you like to upload to

if you dont do it this way you may get a error message , at least that is what i was getting

Thanks to everyone involved, great aircraft...

what terrain is that

Hello

 

great Job, just a little question

 

how can we access to the radar screen?

only if you climb in to the backseat

the radarscreen in the buccaneer is located at the rear cockpit , so all you can do is switch true the radar options that are available antil i have time (and desire) to make a rear cockpit for this mod

for some obvious reasons i go for a Angola/Namibia or South African terrain

i was thinking of that

No chance to see this marvellous bird for SFP1 Series ? :)

check the SF1 Forum and you know what is coming mid next week

i just uploadet the SF2 versions and as soon as Cliff11 is back from his weekend we will finish the SF1 version expected upload by mid next week , so no more 2 weeks

Red Flag 1977

you may have some problems with the Buccaneers in SF1 because of reasons i dont know the distance lod´s for all RAF and FAA versions dont work the only Buccaneer version with working distance lod´s are the SAAF Mk50 (one possible reson may be an max. vertex count per model)

- so we will most likely upload the FAA and RAF Buccaneers with out the distance lod entry in the aircraft´s_ini antil we know what is causing this

- this Buccaneers and the Cockpits are High poly models and on some computers this may result in FPS drop or worse , and there is nothing i can do about it

- i have to export some versions of this Buccaneer from 3ds max with decals , resulting in lod size above 2,1MB the reson why i have to export it with decals are that otherwise you would have decal-bleeding all over the aircraft , models with lod´s below 2,1MB dont have decals that would cause decal-bleeding

aircraft lod size

- Buccaneer-S2 4,61MB

- Buccaneer-S2A_1969 4,54MB

- Buccaneer-S2B_1969 2,05MB

- Buccaneer-S2B_1983 6,34MB

- Buccaneer-S2B_1989 5,49MB

- Buccaneer-S2B_RAFG 2,01MB

- Buccaneer-S2C 4,61MB

- Buccaneer-S2D 5,87MB

- Buccaneer-Mk50_1965 1,42MB

- Buccaneer-Mk50_1980 1,50MB

Cockpit lod size

- from 2,93MB up to 3,0MB

i hope that i can finish everything this week

ok this is the status , SF2 is finish i just wait for some loading-screens SF1 is almost finish Cliff11 is converting and adapting the RAF versions to SF1

as soon as i have the last loading-screens i will send the Buccaneers to the test pilots for a final test and then i will upload them , so it can only be weeks antil you have them
