A6M8 type 64 Zero: Arrived!

[bub]

Allen,
Very Nice, she's looking better and better each time you work your "magic". Now that you took care of my one whim, feel free to do whatever you deem necessary. Someday when I finally retire, maybe, I can start to learn how to do these things myself.
Thanks,
Bob

The A6M8 also doesn't have cowl guns. No room with the Kinsei installed. As long as you are reworking shapes, the fuselage doesn't slope down from the c cockpit to the cowling on anything after the A6M2.

Pretty Aeroplane!
- Ivan.

Removed the nose guns.

I'll attach the attach the A6M8 below. Everthing should work fine with some re-naming but for the main texture. I had to edit to the main texture to put in texture for the new duct. I put the new texture over the unused drop tank. The gun smoke from guns may not match the model so they may need to be changed.

Allen,
Very, very nice! It has exceeded my expectations. I'm working on a new set of textures and when they're done I'll get it uploaded. The VC looks and works just fine and everything else has that "nasty" look to it. Its a good thing they only made two to them.
Again, thank you for your fantastic work.
Bob

 

[Allen]

Shouldn't be too much work.

Hi Guys,

Looks like you all got it worked out.
I would just have grabed the VC from the stock zero and pasted it using scasm.

Great Job,
B24Guy

B24 Guy,
Yes, Allen did a wonderful job. But, thank you for your interest and your moral support.

Good team job! I´ll be waiting the release.

Hi All,
Finally got this done. As soon as I package it up and do a ReadMe, I'll get it uploaded. A big Thank You for UncleTgt as he allowed me to "modify" one of his Zero textures. Due to my own time constraints I couldn't create a completely new one myself. This will be a complete aircraft with panel, sounds and loadout.
Hopefully, I'll have it ready in a couple of days.
Thanks,
Bub

Hi Al,

I wish to thank;

Allen, for his fantastic work in creating the model and VC panel

UncleTgt, for his base texture

Oldwheat, for his guntubes

Daisuke, for his 500 kg bomb.

And, whoever created the 160 L droptank.

Without their fine work this would not have been possible.

Bub,

Many thanks for your effort on this...yet another gaping hole in the CFS2 arsenal, filled!

 

[bub]

Rami,
No sweat. Not a "gaping hole" just a "little one". If not for the others great work, it would still be on the "drawing board".

About 2D panel and VC view matching !!!

Hi Bub
Thank for your nice new bird : "it is yet another Zero" !!!

Yet I realised that the 2D panel and the VC panel view (made from the former Allen's A6m5C 2D and VC 1 gun panels that I realised for him from an original 2D panel made by MKSYSTEM...) were more or less different.
So I redrew my original work to get them more identical. You know I like that 2D and VC panels to match together...
Here is the result of this work


If you feel it is worthwile for your bird, I can upload it
And if Gaucho wants to revamp the 2D bipmap, he is welcome ! I will email him the bipmap

Cheers

Beepee

Hi Bub
I uploaded today the new panel for your bird, and added also exhaust effects for it.
I reworked again the VC panel and the zero gunsight texture bipmap so as the VC view matches better the 2D panel view.


Cheers

Description: 2D and VC panel views for A6M8_Zero_Type_64 by Bub (Bob McGee)

So as to get the 2D and the VC panel views more identical, I redrew all the bipmaps used in the panel config file
and I tweaked the «A6M8_Zero_c2.bmp" and the "gunsight_zero.bmp" texture files so as the VC view matches better the 2D panel view.

I also added Kelti exhaust effects to the bird.
