To all,

Bismarck 13 has uploaded two new Beaufighters, a rare Mk. V, used primarily as a test bed, and a Mk. Ic, which will be highly useful in the Mediterranean, as well as other places.

Thank you so much for all your hard work, Bismarck! You've truly outdone yourself and spoiled us rotten! :applause: :friday::woot:
 
To set the record straight.I can't take credit for the airfile or config file that was all Pen32Win's work.


Talon
 
Raaf . . .

I'll work on the RAAF version next . . .

I also just noticed the Mk.IC needs some contact point tweaking. I used the new files from Pen32win and forgot to change it. The aircraft is sitting about half a foot off the ground!!! If you cut and paste the contacts from the Mk.V it will work perfectly . . .

Well, at least it attacks properly . . .

:wiggle:
 
xx

please make sure contact points are correct, i could not use the C MUIR models in any static scenery in NG because the undercarriage would not appear!!!!!Bet the RAAF model is going to be the most downloaded over time.thank you Bismark for a truly beautiful and much needed piece of work.

Thank you Bismarck. Your new Beaufighters are a joy to watch and to fly. My personal favourite is the Mk.1C, but I wouldn't part with any of them!

Amazing work Bismarck, thanks for all the hard work you and everyone responsible put into these great planes.

:woot:
 
Hi everybody! :wave:

I am planning to upload updated prop disc textures for Bismarck's Beaus during the weekend.

The reason why the generic prop disc textures Bismarck included in his models are displayed only as a light grey transparent area with no textures, comes from the fact that the Beau mdl's had the textures flipped vertically 180°.

Consequently, where there should be a blurred blade texture, there is only an empty space.

Updated and corrected orientation textures are almost ready, they only need a few refinishing touches and I'll upload them.

Cheers!
