OH_P39D Revisions by UncleTgt
This is a revision of OH P39D 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.
The model has been tweaked with a blue/green glass colour & slight changes to sheen using MDLmat. Cockpit glass is now shiny.
The airfile was thoroughly revised & optimised for AI formation keeping & combat performance, whilst giving believable performance in speed, range & ceiling.
The 2D panel bitmap has been made WIN 7+ friendly. I combined Shina's excellent 2D panel with the stock VC panel view, & improved the resolution of the VC view instruments.
I used Lawdog's P-39 sound v2.
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 P39D exhaust object. It adds exhaust stubs, a rear cockpit deck & a pilots seat. The stock pilot is hidden using alpha channel textures.
The texture supplied is: "R" - How their planes looked when the 8th Fighter Group first landed in Australia, prior to deployment to Port Moresby.
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: The B24 Guy for de-mirroring the original stock P-39.
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.
