... not a Jug...now released!

[gaucho_59]

Here is the finished product....

I am finished with it...

The first pic is the panel with gun sight incorporated
The second is the panel without the gun sight
and the third I the gun sight that can be added as a pop-up... "now you see it-now you don't"

They all have pure black backgrounds... these are pics that show how it will appear in the sim...

As to the VC... and the pic measurements... etc. I'll work on that next...

Cheers,
G.

 

[misson]

Thank u very much!

Thank u Uncle T. for bring this plane. U and others made a wonderfull job.
Gaucho .. se agradece tu aporte profesional !
Hasta la vista!

[gaucho_59]

The bitmap is somewhat confusing....

I was certain you will made something uncredible from my simple drawing.
Thanks a lot
If you need machine gun templates to finish up your artwork, I have enclosed them down there
View attachment 7856

I have also made a VC bipmap that fits with the 2D panel of the bird

View attachment 7857

The zip file for the VC panel is enclosed downthere

If you can redraw it the same way you did for the 2D panel, that would be great !

When you will finish your WIP, please, can you send them to me it by PM, I will then complete a panel config file maching your new bipmaps.

Cheers


Beepee

Can you put a yellow surround on what actually appears in the VC?... Like... is the whole background painted or just parts of it????

 

[gaucho_59]

If this is OK... I can mail the bmp files anytime

This is what I imagined you wanted.... Let me know....

Salut,

[Oglivie]

Thanks AF Scrub, UncleTgt, Beepee, and Gaucho...Nice Work!

 

[Worthless]

Outstanding!

This is a great little AC. Easy to handle and landings are a breeze. Great paint brush work too. Thanks UT. You did good.

 

[beepee]

Yes it is

This is what I imagined you wanted.... Let me know....

Salut,

G.

Yes Gaucho, your VC panel is perfect.

Please, can you PM me the 3 bipmaps, I will then make the panel config file and show the result in this thread for your approval before uploading the panel at SOH library.

Thanks again for your superb drawings

Cheers

Let me know you received them OK....

UncleT...

just saw your email about a bomb aimers position... and think I can get it done quickly,
can you remind me which panel does it go with....
With my forthcoming trip to Germany... I am a bit confused....

[UncleTgt]

Braveheart,

Thanks for the tip. I just copied over the contact points from Scrubby's aircraft.cfg file.

I did start to try to adjust them, but started to get the aircraft floating slowly up & down in & out of the runway surface as I watched it in spot view - one minute the wheels were slightly off the runway, next minute the mains were sunken, but the tailwheel not quite touching, you get the picture. In the end I gave up & left them as is... it's a combat sim after all

Uncle Tgt

Strange!!! I got a little flutter at first, but it soothed out. Now I get a little bounce at first, then it smooth's out on the take-off run. The wheels stay in place throughout the take-off. I've tried it out on several of my CFS2 downloads (Pearl Harbor, Western Desert, CBI, AVG, etc). Very stable aircraft in flight. I love your textures and I have looking forward to Peebee and Gaucho's panel. I am using Morton's P-47 Razorback panel until the new panel is available.

I had the same type of problems
I tweaked the config file this way, changes in red.
I thought some longitudinal and vertical positions where inadequat
This way, the bird looks "normal" when landed, and behaves good on take-off and landing

P43 Lancer panel uploaded

Upon Gaucho-59's approval, I am glad to upload this P-43 Lancer's panel at SOH library





This is Gaucho_59's CFS2 "P-43A-1 Lancer" panel (reworked from nternet researchs and an original "hard" drawing made by myself)
Gaucho_59 added a more coherent look,corrected various perspective errors, improved the painting and added details based on a rare photo showing the panel of the real bird.


The 2D panel is done to fit the VC view of the bird


I made the panel config file so as to keep the "gaucho's original" look of the 2D panel, and reworked his original VC panel to fit better the internal VC view.
Unfortunably, it was impossible to suppress the sight in the VC view : this is a matter of MDL tweaking far beyond my knowledge... May be a MDL guru can do that....)

Enjoy
Beepee

Hi Beepee,

If you want to suppress the sight in the VC view replace with this one . View attachment 8132

Hope This Helps Gents,

Your improved contact points worked like a charm, thanks.

oh, now Dvslats has posted some different contact points - I'll try them as well ...

Hi Dave
I have tried your rendition for the contact points/wheels. It works well indeed

Concerning the sight in the VC view, I mean removing the mdl materiel that places the sight in the midle of the VC panel view, not removing the reticule wich is one of the textures files of the bird

It is why I said it is a job for a "mdl" guru !

Thanks anyway
Beepee

Ahhh, ok. I understand now.

Maybe this is possible. Cancelling out materials sometimes has drawbacks. It depends on the author design sequence, drawing order.

When more time is available, possibly this weekend, I'll take a shot at it and see if there are any side effects.

Cheerz, Dave

That would be a great improvement for the bird if you can do that !
I will wait for your trial
