New CFS2 Messeschmitt Me410A1 Hornisse

For Shessi...

Mark,

I tested the Messerschmitt Me-410 you asked me to take into the air. I love it, but you asked me to nitpick.

So, I have some minor critiques.

1) The feature of the rearward-facing machine guns being linked to elevator position is a nice touch, but there are no muzzle flashes. Given that the muzzle flashes will always be different given the position of the elevators at any given moment, this is probably a moot point.

2) The airfile is pretty darn good...I question whether she could truly roll that well. Also, you'll want to swap out the data of the actual Messerschmitt Me-410 with the DeHavilland Mosquito for the aircraft selection screen, that way, people are not confused...
3) The panel and the VC are very good...VERY GOOD! :wavey:
 
Rami,

Thanks for that.

Yes, I gave a lot of thought to muzzle flashes for the rear gun barbettes, but at times it would look very odd due to their angle, so left them off the DP.

Airfile is not perfect, not my forte, but good enough for the time being I think.

And thanks for spotting the info, I had been tweaking so much, I had changed it on the Fs9 version but not the CFS2 one!

Cheers

May I nose in? :kilroy:

This demonstrates synchronicity is a fact of life, I just installed VB's Me410A in my Italian post-armistice install, on account of what I just read about 15th USAAF ops in this theatre.

Crews debriefings report that 15th USAAF B-24s and B-17s on route to Germany were routinely attacked by Me410s on both sides of the Alps. Apparently, Me410A-equipped Luftwaffe units operated from Northern Italian bases as well.

Shessi, I used the flight model you uploaded in the past for VB's Me410A and I agree with Rami the aircraft flies extremely well. I dressed it with your -U1 repaint, I gather the version used must have been the "bomber destroyer" -U1 variant, equipped with the twin 20 mm cannon pack under the nose and AA rocket launchers under the wings.

Being VB's model rather old (I only know of another Me410A model, built by Kazunori Ito for FS8, not multi-res i.e. framerate heavy), it's going to be quite a project trying to animate the tail defence fuselage barbettes in unison with the elevators as Rami would like. I agree, the 2d panel attached above is splendid! :encouragement:

If you need an airfile with Me410 historical info and performance data I can attach it here, I already changed the "Mosquito" stuff in there. Could your -U1 repaint be correct for a Me410 operating from Italy?

Cheers!

Stefano,

These 410s were also heavily involved in the air battles of 1944 over the Reich. The 20th Fighter Group took them on regularly. I was using the Bf-110g-2 as a substitute. Now, I don't have to! I agree, synchronicity is a wonderful thing!
 
wow great work. yes indeed those planes and units were indeed dedicated to trying to stop the flow of bombers over the alps and they did fierce work in tough conditions. Nice to see that important plane so well modelled.
 
A small contribution to the project

Hi Rami and Shessi,

here's a small contribution to your project: new prop blurred discs for VB's Me410 and the airfile updated with historical tech notes from "Jane's Fighting Aircrafts of WWII".

A preview of the Hornisse props over Achim's Ferrara, which I just completed and attached to the thread where I posted the other scenery reworks.

Shessi, let me correct my yesterday typos, my brain was not working right: I meant the A-1/U-2 repaint you did, included in the 3-skin upload of yours and pictured below.

Enjoy!

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - German

Description: A CFS2 model of a Messerschmitt Me410A1 Hornisse by Chris Lampard and Shessi.

A brand new multi-LOD model, with many animations including Leading edge slats, bomb bay, dive brakes, gun barbettes of the Luftwaffe Me410A1Hornisse (Hornet) 'schnell-bomber'. Also with a new skin texture by Chris and a new 2D panel texture by gaucho_59.

Included is a dp for two sets of internal bombs and nose armament.

Just uploaded a new CFS2 version of an Me410A1 by Chris Lampard and myself.

Chris did a superb job of the external model, he put in some great animations, which really bring it to life, along with an excellent exterior texture set. I added the interior, crew, VC, multi-LODs and panel, with gaucho_59's very nice 2d panel texture.

My first interior and VC, learnt a lot, and took some time to do! As I said over on the Fs2004 forum, those that build and do the whole package are something else!

Cheers

Shessi

Thank u!

A big thank u to those peoples working on this , I have a full collection of alied planes but this is lacking in my axis colection. And as it was said before , it was heavy involved in the war as sucesor of the Me210 which had a poor behavior . My wish would be , to count with some missions with that type of rare planes like others. But iis no easy to get truly info , to avoid what if missions. (may u Andrew can surprise us one more time:mixed-smiley-010:)
Thank you again!
Cheers
Mario

Shessi,

Many thanks for this...this is an important opponent for the 20th Fighter Group, heavily involved in the air battles over the Reich! :adoration:
 
Duh!

:stupid:....I had not realised you were working on a newer model and not the old VB's Hornisse.....my props weren't needed.

What's amazing is that this model is FS9 native and compatible for CFS2 with no need for a conversion procedure!

Shessi, I truly didn't have to wait a lot for another one of your splendid addons!!


THANK YOU!!!

:applause: :applause:

Happy St. Paddy's weekend!

Sláinte!

That looks outstanding. Ok Shessi, Tell Chris he is hired. We want more. Those FS2004 models do look great in CFS2.

To all my Irish friends, and to all my friends that aren't. Happy St. Patricks Day.

Beware the Green Beer...:guinness:

Kelti,
Mamma-mia!...I do wonder what drugs you are on sometimes!? :dizzy:..ha ha!

I made two models, one for Fs9 and one specifically for CFS2, so THAT's the reason why it's spot-on for CFS2, and you don't have convert it or do anything!...otherwise we'd have all the usual conversion problems of CTD's (g_lightstates, crash-detection), the controls set to one side in the VC. Do you really think I'd forget us ol' boys in the senior sim? ;)

Make sure you have the CFS2 model.

And I wondered what you were talking about VB planes and re-paints???? And by all means if you come up with alternative prop texs, then please, the more the better.

Cheers

Shessi
