FSX: The 1940 Fokker T.5 bomber released

Solothurn nose-mounted 20mm cannon.

Looks great, Daan! :encouragement:

Apparently it was quite drafty in the nose of the T.V, with a big hole in the panels to stick this gun through..
 
It was, Ferry! Sometimes crewmembers got inconscious due to cold and oxygen shortage.

I made today better light effects, including the blueish formation lights. Not sure about the color of the latter btw.
I'm experimenting with 3D lights now too, for the landing lights.

Compare! After:

I do, Bjoern ;) Still a little buggy for me, sad thing is that my PC makes FS@night awfully ugly... So I still might consider rejecting it.

Something else: have you ever tried exporting a 'Skinned Mesh' without selecting the appropriate armature (export selected)? I sometimes have, and I get a fairly interesting result. The mesh will continually face the camera, so when panning around in spot, the mesh always faces me.

I've only ever tried skinned meshes in 3ds Max and gave up on them after one model because of bones and the requirement for an extra material.
 
Played a bit with my two babies tonight: wonderful! Formation flying is difficult, though...

Made video recordings of this, I hope to upload something soon.

Nice shot Daan beautiful colours. But about formation flying..... I was doing more or less the same....





Its difficult to keep in formation with the T-5. Especially with the gear down......



Cheers,

Here's a pic of the textured Solothurn, with and without shell bag. Pretty satisfactory IMHO.

Hi Dutch,
A "silly" question : why Fokker's engineers preferred a 20mm anti-tank weapon (with very slow firing cadence) instead a normal .50" A/A machine gun ?

:wavey::wavey:
 
Some really nice looking formation screenshots! Thanks for bringing this sort of forgotten interwar/war years Dutch military aviation to life!

Was not intended as A/A yet as Air to ground weapon/gun. For A/A defence it was equipped with 5 Browning machine guns (7.9 mm (.31 ")).
