John,

I will test the airfile in this coming mission using the Hawk. The good news is that I set up these invasion landings better than I thought I did, so I'm going through them quickly. I may be able to begin working on the Port Darwin missions tomorrow.

Stuart,

Your .dp files are outstanding, thank you! :very_drunk:
 
Rami,

I think the speeds are closer. I didn't change much in the handling.

Take a look at that pdf. Its rather kool. Can you imagine that for $23,000 you could have bought one brand new. I wonder what that would translate into today's money?

UT,

I'll have a basic texture for you. It seems I may have started the wrong one. I've had a pretty good cold all week so my head isn't always in the game.

Explains why I'm all over the place this week. Right now Popsicles are my best friend.

John,

You did a great job on the airfile, she holds her speed much better now, making it easier to dogfight on your terms.

However, the AI still don't want to engage. There may have to be a dedicated AI aircraft for the P-36.

That flight dynamics workbook really does the trick with reguards to the props. I've used it on 6 different ACs with hugh improvements on each. More real to life results in many cases. All you need is the data. I can say it has been a struggle with my WWI ACs. It is hard to get 100 year old prop data.

Yeah you might be right on that. You defently will for ground attack. If you go that route.

First try dropping the MOIs by half in the airfile. Its not a heavy plane but the AIs don't like high MOIs with some airfiles. Also look at the last 4 entries in the airfile. Those could be causing a conflict. Thats just a guess. Worth a shot in any case.

John,

Just FYI...I am working on the last Dutch DEI mission as we speak, so release of the campaign package will follow once the final assembly pieces are in place. I will work on the last addition after I finish this mission.

And I'm not using the P-36 for ground attack, strictly as a fighter. However, the Buffalo is used in both roles and has no AI issues.

Use the stock drop tanks for now. It will be a while on the ones I'm working on. I'm more or less building them from scratch.

Remember the P-36 is more related to the P-40 then the Buffalo. The first P-40 actually shared the fusalage and wing of the P-36. So I'd look for wing specs from the P-40 to tune her.

Oh one last thing to check is the flaps. watch for the lift and drag issue that the AIs tend to have.
 
I think I made the wrong tank. I was trying to do the Oscar's drop tank. well it looks more like the George's. Sooo... Back at it.

I hate colds.

Good morning,

Just an update...the DEI campaign parts are being packaged and made ready for quick upload, I am just waiting on hearing back from a few people about permissions and a couple of fixes.

I'm still in the area, somewhere south of Java, scheming my next idea. :biggrin-new:

Good afternoon,

Another update...while I am waiting for responses from other parties as well as the last items needed to release D.E.I., I got thrown a bit of a curve, in a good way. Onnogras was quite flattered by my inclusion of his scenery and for seeking out his permission, so he asked if I would like to see some scenery enhancements for Sumatra that he never released to SOH. I told him I would be very interested, and if it was suitable for the campaign, I would be glad to use it.

I hopefully will be looking at these items today or tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll be south of Java in Mission Builder working on a last-minute add-on. :very_drunk:

Good morning,

I'm just waiting on one piece to release D.E.I...I decided to hold off on making an modifications to the Sumatra-based missions until the scenery is completed. :wavey:
 
Ki43 tanks - update

Rami & Bloodhawk have something to test.

Some pics for those bored with the cricket.:devilish:

Using a bit of lateral thinking, it's just a recompile of Thickos Hurricane 44 gal tanks.:distant: How many different looks & cofigurations can a 44-45 gal fuel tank have? :biggrin-new:

Good morning,

Thanks, UncleTgt! Now only two small pieces to go.

Hey Rami,

Sorry its taking me so long. I'm looking at buying a house and working OT.

It would seem I did do the wrong tank. After I finished it, I tested it on the zero. Come to find out I did the 330L tank for the george. Ooops... So I have the 200L for the Zero. I'm remapping it to use 4 different textures. I'm also doing the Oscars tank. They are not as pointed as the 44gal that UT converted.
