Look what I've been doing ....

you guys are amazing...........I'd no idea what this plane even was....and who's got all the banana smilies?

never mind.....just noticed the smilies(more)....I'm as bad as the don't read read-me's
 
Just an update

Cockpit about 85% w/o textures.

I have modeled two guns, 75mm and 30mm with pylons. Working on the details such as gear doors and control surfaces. Now the work week comes back into play so less progress.

Later.

Oh, I have destroyed my fair share of tanks this weekend!:friday:
 
Hi Nachtpiloten,

great looking plane!! On the question of pylons, I understood that some quirk of cfs3 rendered pylon-mounted cannon ineffective. Have you worked a way around that?

I thought the GroundCrew Folks (I'll check with Mathias) had a solution for that. It had to do with the creation of new pylons, guns and weapons, primarily with the xdps. I say this because of their bf 110's other weapons they have produced. If I am mistaken than I'll just make three versions. A B3 with the 75mm (she was slow too 350 kph vs 410 w/o the 75mm), one B2 w/ the mk 103 and pylons for the wing bombs, and another B2 with pylons for wing and fuselage mounted bombs.
 
Ahh great! just great! Now I can't sleep until you've uploaded it! and I have an important test next monday.. Thanks for the timing!! :help:

j/k ;) thanks alot for doing that plane! It will keep me entertained for months!

The workaround is to not use pylon mounted guns at all but make them part of the aircraft model just like any other gun.
Requires you to burn one or two standalones variants more I'm afraid.
The good news is that this approach would be more accurate anyway, historically speaking.
All this field kit nonsense about German aircraft that could be converted from Rüstsatz A to Rüstsatz B in no time is bull.
When a plane had been build to conditions X it usually spend it's operational lifetime as such unless it had been converted due to general changes in requirements.

"Hey, blackman (Luftwaffe slang for ground crew guy), what kit will you mount me today?!
"Hmm, let's see what we have. Want R3 or R4? Maybe I can dig out R8 for you! Give me a minute" :costumes:
 
Workaround

No big deal. Thanks for the input. Good to see you around. Have you tried my A5 airfile in the other section of CFS3? If you could let me know what you think.
