add-ons wish list

Two thoughts:
1: A ground texture, BGL, whatever it is, to depict a blasted, smoking battleground. Peleliu, or Tarawa for example, all nice and green and pretty, just doesn't look right.
2: A 'dust' effect of blowing sand, coral dust, dirt, etc. when taking off.
 
What About...

... using the fx_dustcloud_m.fx at the wheel contact points ? Or would that be in constant view ?

[I'm not sure if the contact points are a "fixed" location regardless of location (ground or sky).....]

I expect that this sort of thing has been discussed before, but anyway, share your ideas; and let us know if any of the items are available: some may not be possible!

smoke screen
sand storm
ice bergs
floating (adrift) mines
churchill tank
flotsam and jetsam from a sunk ship
liferafts, etc.
broken (bomb damged look) trees (esp for WWI)
cassino abbey destroyable--ideally destroyable in several sections
german motorcycle (with side car)
bulldozer (for building runways)
jeep
train tunnel
train mounted howitzer

well, there's a start!

I'm not out of flying QC and Training missions yet, I'd just like to see a few more aircraft:

1. Beech Staggerwing
2. N1K2 George done in black with upward firing cannon
3. J2M Raiden with the same.
4. George and Raiden with bathtub 20mm cannon
5. Nightfighter textures for the Ki-61 Tony, Oscar, and Tojo(I am searching for my Jap aircraft painting books)
6. An updated He-219 A5/A7. The A5 is okay, I like the Schrage Musik of the A7.
7. German "Watering Cans" 7.9mm gunpods for underwing of Stuka, FW-190, Henschel 123, etc. Each pod had 3 guns aimed slighlty downward for infantry strafing(Squadron Publications has the info in their book on FW-190 or Stuka, I'll have to look them up)
8. Schrage Musik guns for Ki-45 Nick

Akemi's aircraft would be great for conversion, in a pinch the stock Raiden and George could be modified with no problem. I like Akemi's quality.

Banzai!

Tonybones,

1. Seems like Crashwoody of Simtech made their Beech Stagerwing freeware. Can anyone confirm that?

2. Oldwheat uploaded Schraege Musik barrels just last month or so. All you need to do is add them to your plane through the DP file and you can have your George and Raiden with upward firing weapons.

You can get them here:

Jagd, I missed the part about the Beech, sorry. Does Crashwoody have a site? I got the barrels, just don;t know how to edit the files.

Tony,

1. I don't have access to CFS 2 for the foreseeable future so I can only make suggestions, but if you look at a DP file from a plane with Schraege Musik that would help guide you.

2. DPED V1.20 or V1.21 Will get the job done for you. You can probably get the program at: flightsim.com or avsim.com

3. I also think that one of our DP experts will see this and probably give you a hand.

CFS2 is over on Amazon for next to nothing. I may grab CFS1 here after the holidays.

Thanks, and I'll make note of the file and perhaps one of the others will contact me. Like I said, I like Akemi's Japanese AC, I may practice on the stock planes.

4. George and Raiden with bathtub 20mm cannon

If by bathtub cannons you mean that

George.jpg


There is a nice range of N1K1 Shidens (among other) in this site:

You will have to mail the author for the passwords, but it's definitely worth it.

That is one of the AC I wanted JL, thank you. This is the N1K1-J Shiden with two 20mm Type 99 Model 2 cannon in the wings and two of the same in "godolas" beneath the wings, as we Yanks call them, bathtubs. There were also two 7.7 mm machine guns in the fuselage/nose, deleted on later models and on the Shiden KAI.

The Raiden I am looking for is the J2M3A-Model 21A. there were 21 of these manufactured with the identical cannon in the gondolas. The normal J2M3 Raiden had a pair of the faster firing Type 99 Model 2 Cannon and the shorter, slower firing Type 99 Model 1 in the wings, these are found on the A6M2 and A6m3 Zeros.

I'll send for the passwords, thanks!

We're covered for the main British types maimi. The updated 40mm Bofors and Bismarck did a very nice static mount 3.7" AA.
 
I have not been able to find a downlloadable jeep, there was one made on a site with a bunch of other vehicles, but the jeep link did not work and he never restored it.... or a couple of other of the vehicles that were on that site. Jeeps were so ubiquitous in WWII it would be nice to have em. Not sure if there is a good standard Deuce and ahalf either. They were legion as well.
 
I would like some bombs similar to the AF_Arty, that would burn like incendiary bombs of WW II. I am kind of tired of seeing puffs of dust on the ground from 15-20 thousand feet instead of big black billowing smoke from a real bomber mission. I am using AF_Arty as my bomb strikes and like the visuals much better than any bomber weapons I have seen thus far.
 
I can't find the "howitzer type 4" by searching for text in campaigns or missions, so...The sequence popped up as an error, in the mis/camp of defending Henderson (Guadacanal) then replaced it with a bridge (Shooting at me) parallel to the shore, it may have something to do with my mixed-up scenery sequences that now has the beach lines confused with land and water - yeah guns in the water, ships running onto land etc., Since Micro$oft abandoned flight sims in general, I do not have the brains to decompile their mess and rewrite it, 100 plane limitation, and my scenery mesh mess, with today's dual, quads etc., shouldn't have problems, such as; a computer deals with databases and should handle data needed, right. uh sorry, off subject, I hate both Micro$oft and Intel, since my "Home Computer" days, starting at 40, now you know how old I am. I do appreciate all you who work hard at keeping this Sim alive. I will keep plugging... and ya'all Have a Merry Christmas!
