Is it possible to have 2-3 different types of bombs in a single bomb bay? Or bombs plus a fuel tank? Some bomber bomb loads contained more than one bomb type. For example Wellington (12)250lb Bombs + 140gal Bomb bay tank (6)250lb Bombs + 140gal Bomb bay tank (2)1000lb Bombs + 146gal Bomb bay tank Lancaster (9)1000lbs + (1)4000lbs cookie Bombs (18)500lbs + (1)4000lbs cookie Bombs (6)500lbs + (1)8000lbs cookie Bombs (6)500lbs + (1)12000lbs cookie Bombs (8)250lbs + (6)2000lbs Bombs Halifax (6)2000lbs + (6) 500lbsBombs (2)4000lbs Cookie Bombs+ (2)1000lbs + (8)500lbs (1)8000lb Cookie Bomb + (6)500lbs Could you define 2-3 bomb bays using the same animation bomb bay number for different bomb bay configurations?

Seems to have all the WoX aircraft. Enjoy

Enjoy So nice to see it finally flying with the gear up and showing off.

You might want to expand slightly and include bomber bases in the Aleutian Islands. I think they were flying B-32 Dominators? Also by 1946 wouldn't the Russians would be flying raids over Japan too. Or at least the Kuril Islands (Falcon 3 forever! ).

Not yet, but I wouldn't leave the AvHistory Hanger without it Kudos to John for going out of his way to make the extra additions to his tool to support Thirdwire sims.

I think these could be added to a 1946 list F8F F2G-2 FR-1 P-80A P-82 <---- I know, a reach

There is a new version of UMC in development. It reads the _data.ini to show the damage boxes too.

It's a bug in the AI. When they switch to "Ground Avoidance" Mode (from the debug data) they stop moving the controls and fly into the ground. With SafeAltitude= set to 5,000ft I've seen them go into "Ground Avoidance" mode at 5,000ft and fly into the ground. A work around is set SafeAltitude= to 1 But then they fly lower too Another work around is since they sometimes use flaps in "Ground Avoidance" mode is to make sure your flaps in the FM are set to produce some pitch up. In the flap section of the FM make sure Cmdc= is a positive value.

Thanks comrpnt!!!!!! That worked. Is there any way to get them to only fly the pattern and not do a full approach?

Wrench I've run into an FM issue and need your help. I'm trying to think of a work around that does the least amount of damage to accuracy which requires a lot of inflight testing, which takes forever. I need a simple CAP takeoff and land mission (using the default SG desert terrain) with 4 aircraft. Just takeoff, fly the pattern 1000ft AGL and land. No bad guys. If you get a chance to work it into your schedule it would help a lot. What I'm watching is the AI's takeoff and landing, especially #3 and 4.

Nuts! Now we'll never find out why Hot Dogs come in 8 paks and Hot Dog Buns come in 6.

Actually, if we really wanted “accurate” we would fly the aircraft to the IP and then press CTL-SHT-B and hear “Bombardier you have the aircraft.” And then just sit there for 5 min and watch the AI Bombardier do the bomb run. Back to the subject. We need this functionality: ** Ability to level bomb from any speed or altitude The current marks on screen and you must be at xxxxx altitude at yyyyy speed was a good first step to solve the problem. For a second step the CCIP solves the functionality issue and we all know that someone would take the third step and evolve it to a proper era look and feel. Any gauge experts willing to make a try at this?

Just brainstorming here Doesn't the F-16 HUD have a CCIP? If it does, could you add it to these level bomb sights and have a level bomb site that works at any altitude and speed?

Got an email back from Greg Law who is willing to send his Ark Royal and Victorious. Just need a 3d Modeler to convert them to SF. Volenteers to Convert them?

We need the Ranger CV-4 too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Ranger_(CV-4)

Mathias passed these on to me and thought it might help fill in any blanks. Finn Neuik's video tutorials that he made back in early CFS2 days. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=19204 Gerards low poli modelling tutorial: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=16418

Finally figured out how to get the tracers to light closer to the muzzle. Open BULLETOBJECT.INI In the [GunData] section find and change ArmingTime=7 to ArmingTime=1 This makes it a lot easier to aim the guns with the tracers.

Nice story about flying the P-47B http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa38...ag=content;col1

Is if possible to get the tracer to start right at the muzzle instead of the 200-400 ft out? Makes if hard to aim when the tracer lights after it'd gone by the target BTW, I have a new set of A2A guns (60+) for us to use almost done complete with colored tracers. The look pretty good once they light Also I thought I would start a naming convention to make life easier. WW2_A2A_GR_MG_151 WW2_A2A_JA_Type_94 WW2_A2A_RU_UBS WW2_A2A_US_50_Cal_M3 And then sort them. The idea is after working all night on a project to make it easy on you at 3am.

Actually it was notes from I think an AIAA conferance. Been a long time. Does Myhra's "CloseUp" book have good tech stuff? BTW, can you edit the StallMoment=-0.50 stuff and make it a stickie in the new prophead forum?

Stuff like this is what makes WW2 interesting! I did a DATCOM FM of this. As a bomber interceptor its ok, but as a dogfighter it is a deathtrap. I had some firsts in the FS series and this was the first true flying wing (no invisiable tail like everyone else uses). I poured over all the tech data on this. Did you know its wings used wash in (most aircraft use wash out) to add to the yaw stability? Wrench, any way to add a working yaw string to the forward windscreen? If you don't tap dance continously on the rudders and let the yaw exceed a certain angle, you will die. Last triva, the planned follow on looks very similiar to a tailess F-117 basic shape.
