OH_P39Q_SOV Airacobra 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. I've taken the OH_P39D & created a Soviet P-39Q Airacobra. I could find almost no photographic references of Soviet P-39Qs with the underwing 50 cal MGs still mounted, so used the OH_P39 model to depict a P-39Q with the gunpods removed, instead of starting with Allen's P39Q model.
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 P39D_airacobra.mdl to P39Q_Airacobra_SOV.mdl.
The airfile was thoroughly revised & optimized 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 Thicko's Il-2 bombs, & my recompile of Wolfi's TBF US pilot as a RU_pilot. The drop tank is DBolt's P47 tank. I included ferry drop tank payloads by using K Malinowski range of P47 drop tanks.
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 textures supplied are: White "77" - Aircraft of Lt Nikolai Stroikov, 213 Gds IAP, Rozvadov, Poland, circa September 1944.
White "10" - Aircraft of Capt. Pavel Kutakhov, CO of 19 Gds IAP, autumn of 1943.
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.
