Description: Erwin Welkers Ju86E2 for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is a conversion of the Junkers Ju86K2 done by Erwin Welker for CFS 2. I've separated each of the different engined versions as separate aircraft, for ease of installation. See separate uploads of the Luftwaffe Ju86D1 & Hungarian Ju86K2.
Erwin graciously provided a new model of the radial-engined Ju86K2 with engine cylinder bitmaps.
Although the exhaust configuration is different, this allowed the use of the Ju86K2 model to mimic the BMW132 engined Ju86E as used by the Luftwaffe, mainly in a training role. The model is simply the Ju86K2 model renamed.
I've modified the cockpit glass colour & reduced the model shine for camoflage paints.
I've made a new 2D panel bitmap that is WIN 7+ safe, & created a Bombsight fixed window.
A new airfile was developed, & optimised for AI & combat performance.
The sound file used is a modified Ju52 soundpack.
The animations were changed to use CFS2 commands:
1) I removed the bomb drop animation
2) I changed the Bomb Doors to use the CFS2 Spoiler Cmd
3) I changed Crew Hatch from wingfold to use the Canopy front Cmd (partially successful)
4) I changed the Ventral Bin deploy from Water Rudder to Concorde Visor
The textures are:
RX + HN A training aircraft from a Luftwaffe c-schule, Germany circa July 1940
NV + EW A training aircraft forward deployed to help the airlift around Stalingrad, Russia, circa October 1942
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to
Erwin Welker for the original aircraft, developed originally for FSX+.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX, such a clever & versatile tool
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes
Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps & exhaust effects.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions
