Douglas TBD-1 Devastators released

Thanks for the mod. All these planes deserve a little attention. The Devastater was getting a bit outdated by the time Midway rolled around but in that battle I don’t believe the avenger would have fared much better because the Japanese were flying low ready to pounce on anything that might be carrying a torpedo and in fact they were so worried about getting torpedoed that they didn’t have any planes ready for intercepting dive bombers. Anytime in a battle you have to cover all angles as the enemy will probably try using every open shot they can get. The Japanese were defending against the run but the US threw a pass deep to a wide open receiver so it doesn’t matter if it was Barry Sanders or the Davastater nothing was running the ball without getting clobbered
 
Howdy Capt!

These are wonderful, but I'm encountering an issue. On my system, the 100lb rack seems to conflict with the belly panel. If I have the 100lb rack installed, the belly panel doesn't show up.

Now I could have other issues, because I have 2141 object DP files, and 266 weapon BGLs installed as well...
 
Great work Captain.
Unfortunately , the belly panel does not appear .
The program says : wep _ tbd_ 100lb_bomb _rack does not exist ( after adding it ) !!!!!

Try deleting the data file it will make a new one in a New York flash.
 
If not that then make sure the spelling is correct for the bgl the object dp the plane dp and inside the bgl you can check by hex editor.
 
Absolute masterpieces, just superb!

Not only an excellent model, especially with the little details (which I love!), but a fantastic set of texs as well...:applause:

Many thanks CK.

Cheers

Thank you all for the compliments. It's great to know you like the plane.

On the other note, is everyone having an issue with the 100lb bomb rack not appearing, or are most of you finding it working OK? I can't get the problem to duplicate here so I don't know what it might be. :pop4:
 
Hurrah !!!. I fixed the problem .

In :

SCENEDB _ weapons _ scenery


you have to reverse the names of the two files :


WEP_TBD_belly_panel.bgl


WEP_TBD_100lb_bomb_rack.bgl

I tried out the beautiful colorful prewar version. Really nice!
I found that neither the 100lb bomrack nor the belly panel show.
Fani, did you mean renaming the two bgl files with the other´s name? I did that, the fairing now shows, but not the rack..
 
Hi Guys thanks for the feedback. It gave me a place to start looking. I disassembled the .bgl files to check them out. The WEP_TBD_100lb_bomb_rack.bgl is the culprit. It needs to be replaced. The WEP_TBD_belly_panel.bgl should not be renamed.

I am updating the downloads, and for those who have already downloaded the planes, here is the replacement WEP_TBD_100lb_bomb_rack.bgl

This should fix it, though why it did not originally give me any trouble when testing everything, I don't understand. Please let me know if this solves it.
