Been testing the Advanced Animations addon by Rramjet and can report that it is a outstanding addition for CFS3. Adds more immersion and changes the look and feel of the ETO expansion. All the different pilots, screen shot angles,crates and ammo boxes,and much much more. It's a large download at around 1 gig,but well worth it. A big step forward for something new for CFS3. Found absolutely no problems with the addon and installation is easy. I highly recommend this addon for the ETO expansion as it adds a little more immersion to the sim and is a nice change for the better. Outstanding work Rramjet ! Regards,Scott
 
thanks for the kind words sixstrings , no this is not uploaded yet im trying to get some of the people involved with the development of the ETO to try the addon out so if you have a credit pm me I will give you a link to the download so you can try it . what im hoping for is a official update to the eto a 1.6 if you will . If that's not possible then let me know and I will just release it and whoever wants it can have it. thanks again six hope you enjoy it. BTW have you come across the Tuskegee airmen ? I painted 3 black pilots and hooked them up to a variation so when you fly a redtails aircraft 3 pilots show up archer ,temple and brown all non flyable but I cut a set of animation X files and put them on the airfield.
 
Didn't know that about the Tuskegee airmen. Awesome! Really been enjoying your add on. Thanks for all your time and effort you put into this. Regards,Scott
 
fly p51d 100 1945 < default Tuskegee aircraft

american pilot yeager

kenley any era

the airmen will show up after you fly
 
I somehow feel that there is unlikely to be an all round ETO update. AFAIK most people are working on various aircraft (or in my case airbases!) but no overall co ordination. I would upload it here and maybe elsewhere such as SimHQ. Having tried it I must also say it is an excellent improvement. :applause::applause: I don't want to put more work on you, but having seen you already have 2 figures and you are thinking of aircraft specific pilots, are 3-8 figures possible if tied to various bombers? Forget it if a biggie! Also are we limited to boxes as opposed to say a stationary truck or jeep?
 
Thanks, it works perfectly. I installed it using JSGME, and was able to switch it on and off repeatedly without CFS3 even missing a beat.

The Temple University reference on the seat pack is a nice detail. Too bad the cockpit character doesn't switch as well. Would adding a new pilot as Lee "Buddy" Archer be possible?

There are 5 non flyable pilots just animation if you notice bud Anderson and bob Hoover are there with chuck yeager and I put yeagers face on,I think it looks like Yeager.all that has to be done to make them flyable is they have to be added to the country.xml and the unlimitedpilots.xml with the biographies

You sort of lost me here. I only see people from the outside; none from the inside. not even a co pilot.

I only had the stock aircraft that came with the ETO 1.5 so all the variations kick in with the stock aircraft fly one of the stock b17 to see it and american

Hi Major,


ETO has a selectable Archer pilot in the USA slot that you will see in the cockpit in flight.


regards Rob.

Hi Capt. Winters , I found the problem the unlimitedpilots.xml has archer #67 pilot but the country.xml only goes to #66 so we have a tab in the pilot list and we can select him and see the info but he wont show up untill I get # 67 in the country.xml .. can you get that to me?
