Allen_P-400 Revisions by UncleTgt
This is a revision of Allen's P-39D1 Airacobra for CFS 2. Because of the extensive nature of the revisions I've decided to upload as a complete aircraft for ease of installation. I've taken Allen's P-39D1 & created a P-400 Airacobra.
The model has been tweaked with a blue/green glass colour & slight changes to sheen using MDLmat. Cockpit glass is now shiny. To avoid possible CTDs if using this alongside other P39 versions that also share the same model file source, I've renamed the P39D1_airacobra.mdl to P400_Airacobra.mdl.
The airfile was thoroughly revised & optimized for AI formation keeping & combat performance, whilst giving believable performance in speed, range & ceiling.
The panel is aliased to the stock P-39D.
The Sound is aliased to the stock P-39D.
The dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects. It makes use of DBolt's US bombs, & my recompile of Wolfi's US pilot. The drop tank is DBolt's P47 tank.
I created a P400 exhaust object. It adds 12 exhaust stubs & a pilots seat. The stock pilot is hidden using alpha channel textures.
The texture supplied is: "W" 26 - Aircraft from 80FS, 8FG, operating from Milne Bay, PNG, September '42.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to: Allen for his P-39D1 Airacobra.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
