DH87B Hornet Moth for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is a complete revision of the FS2004 DH87B by Frank Elton.
Due to the extensive nature of the MDL revisions, it is uploaded as a complete aircraft for ease of installation.
I used G-Max to revise the texture mapping, making camo repaints possible. I replaced Frank's pilot figure with adaptions of the crew figures from Dave Garwood's Anson. The model animations were revised, adding opening cabin doors & making the prop disk a 3D disc, like that used by Akemi on his models.
The panel was revised & made WIN 7 safe.
The airfile is completely revised, & the dp file is new.
The textures included are:
W9385 Used by 3 Coastal Defence Flight, attached to 502 sqn RAF, & flying "Scarecrow" patrols from Hooton Park aerodrome, January 1940.
V4731 Operated by RIAF 1 Coastal Defence Flight during the panicky spring of 1942.
EC-AFO Based on a profile drawing found on a Spenish language website about the Spanish Civil War, & depicting it's use by the Republican AF.
2007 Impressed & used by the SAAF as a trainer, circa July 1941.
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
Frank Elton for the original FS2004 Hornet Moth. Given Frank was born in 1936, I was not surprised when my attempts to contact him by the e-mail address provided in his original readme proved unsuccessful.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+, & his MCX/GMax model conversion tutorial.
Shessi for prompting me to (finally) get a handle on how G-Max displays gloss & shine with it's materials.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
