Add a torpedo to your Blackburn Baffin

[fde_bressy]

Just insert the following lines to tour DP file in the [gunstations] section:

[GUNSTATIONS]
; Front Guns Browning Mk.II .303 7.7mm
gunstation.0=0,45,1,0.05,775,2,0.01,400,0,20,1d1*8,0.15,0.80, 1.15, 0,0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,0.40
; Rear Gun Vickers K.303 7.7mm
gunstation.1=1,45,2,0.05,816,2,0.01,500,0,20,1d1*8,0.00,1.35,-3.20,-15,0,-180,-90,90,60,-15,0.35
; Torpedo
gunstation.2=5,62,32,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
　
[guns.0]
gun.0=500,0,0,0,0,0,1,500
[guns.1]
gun.0=500,0,0,0,0,0,1,500
[guns.2]
gun.0=1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
　
[HARDPOINTS]
mount.0=-0.00,0.375,-1.85
mount.1=-0.00,-0.80,-0.00
mount.2=-0.00,-0.80,-0.20
[PAYLOADS]
payload.0=%payload_name.0%
payload.1=%payload_name.1%
[PAYLOAD.0]
; Payload = Guns Only
mount.0=raf_gunner, 1, 0
[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Torpedo MkXII, 18"
mount.0=raf_gunner, 1, 0
mount.1=wep_br_torpMkXII, 1, -1
mount.2=wep_br_torpcarrier, 1, 0

Then add the following line at the end of the [STRINGS] section

"payload_name.1"=Torpedo MkXII, 18"

In the aircraft.cfg file, replace the [contact_points] section withe the following ones to improve the aircraft position on the ground:

[contact_points]
point.0=1.000000,-18.583333,0.000000,-3.80,1574.803200,0.000000,0.547986,43.380000,0.498066,2.500000,0.654478,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000
point.1=1.000000,3.166667,-8.166667,-8.50,1574.803200,1.000000,0.547986,0.000000,0.25,2.500000,0.866244,0.000000,0.000000,2.000000,0.000000,0.000000
point.2=1.000000,3.166667,8.166667,-8.50,1574.803200,2.000000,0.547986,0.000000,0.25,2.500000,0.866244,0.000000,0.000000,3.000000,0.000000,0.000000
static_pitch=13.5
static_cg_height=7.30

Happy new year to all of you

Hi François,
Not being a kill-joy here, but it needs to be a slanted torpedo as in the pic.
It would not clear that huge radial engine and prop if it was mounted horizontally, I hate to think what would happen!!

They used early war MkVIII or IX torpedos not MkXIIs. Sorry to be a 'spotter' on this...

Cheers Shessi

If, some one... cares to decompile the bgl for the british weps. and get the GUID number and scale for the torp it would be a sinch to compile a new one at the correct angle what ever that might be?

torpedo for Baffin

or failing all that you could use the torpedo which comes with the Vickers Vildebeest, which you can find here at SOH under my stuff.

( I don't do much with the game these days but I'm still nosy )

Happy New Year

Hi B,
Tried that already, but with no torp carrier struts it looks too odd with an angled torp hanging down...

As I said in my orig post hopefully Frank is going to model a version with a torpedo fitted.
