Cyclone Hawk 75 series uploaded!!

Great, I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Thank you OW. Actually, Chennalt flew one of these as his personal aircraft presented to him by the president of China's wife. I believe it was in bare metal with the Chinese insignia. That's what the picture looked like anyway. Great work.

All that really needs to be done now is to add a bombload so I have a question= What U.S. bomb is being represented by the Japanese 30 Kg. bomb in the Donationware P-36 & is there a CFS2 version of it?

OK, it's the fixed landing gear version of the Curtiss Hawk.

This could be one of the most exotic planes in CFS2: the Thailandese bought 25 planes (according to Wikipedia, other sites say just 12) that fought in the war against Vichy France in 1941 first, and then against the Japanese later that year.

That could be a nice skin.

A nice pic from a Museum, with underwing cannon pods and bombs!.

Thanks OW and Mr.Scrubb.

OW,

Here is a link to the 303d Bomb Group's ordnance page. 30 kgs should come out to about 66 pounds and a few ounces. Nothing in the chart that would directly match weight wise.

Paul Strany had a nice weapons pack with his Hudson Mk III. It included a well done US 100 lb GP bomb. Kelticheart uploaded the package here at the Outhouse sometime ago. If it's not available anymore, let me know. It may be what you need.
 
I guess that I will have to find out just what bombs Hawk 75s usually carried. If necessary, I'll make some bombs.
 
There is a US 40lb bomb, but I don't remember where did I get it from, and have never used it. It was created by someone called Beowolff, and he gave this explanation on the readme:

US 40 pound bomb for CFS2.

Somewhat unhappy with the CFS2 stock bombs...and really happy with
the VB boys excellent German bomb addons...I decided to try my hand
at making a similiar more "authentic" US bomb, in this case the
40 pound bomb so often seen on the old Allied Kittyhawk and Warhawk
aircraft. So that is exactly what I've done here...and though I
surely know that it isn't perfect by a long shot..I do feel (at
least personally) that it looks more authentic that CFS2 Stockers.

I just might have to re-do that bomb in a smaller version. I would like to get more info before I get involved but it would be a good item to have in the 'weapons' folder.
 
The only "light weight" american bombs that I have found are 20, 23 and 30 lb fragmentation bombs, from a late war manual on bombs. They were used in clusters. But probably there were more light bombs early in the war. May be looking for late thirties photos we can find that kind of bombs.

Well, I made a new version of the 40# bomb (scaled down) but I can't get the #@&*## thing to compile as a weapon, which sometimes happens on my PC. Can I get a volunteer to compile it for me. It does work as an aircraft .MDL.
