OH_B-24J_Liberator by The B24 Guy and Allen!

I'm glad to read that the AI are flying better! I checked Allen's test zip last night and the formation appeared to do very well from my own observations. I really haven't had enough time to check everyone's solutions, but whatever is working satisfactory is good news.

:applause:

Best Regards,

Allen,

As I thanked you for, the AI are now stable and not crashing into themselves or the escort fighters. That's good enough for me. Hopefully, getting full permissions is the next step for an upload.
 
Part of the oscillation looks like the crew added by use of station_load.# I re-did the B-24D with the empty weight from the 1% (34187 lbs) added the crew and a extra station_load.# so the GoG of the aircraft didn't change. After all of that the B-24D was still 1000 lbs lighter than the one I posted but when I take off and Slew up to them and the lead aircraft it now has an oscillation.

The oscillation I don't think is too bad and quickly stops before it effects the other. The much heaver B-24J the oscillation effect is much more. Drop of 18 to 36 feet, maybe more soon as as I drop out of Slew mode. It dose seem to effect the others slightly and the oscillation effect dose stop.

I don't think the AI can quickly calculate how to keep the plane level with all of the station_load.#'s. None of the stock aircraft use more than one station_load.#. (yes I know ther may be 2 station_load.# shown in some aircraft but they both use station_load.0= so I don't think the 2nd is used)
 
Here is a small revise of both. I added *Cm_de(q) Elevator Deflection (Moment) Factor vs q and Cl_da(q) Ailerons Deflection (Moment) Factor vs q in both airfiles. Made my own DP for both. The payload is the same as before. I also set the ceiling to 30,000 feet for the B-24J in the airfile and DP.

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

Description: This is a conversion of The B24 Guy's overhauled B-24 model to a "J" series configuration. The modifications have been done by Allen and The B24 Guy, and is being uploaded with their full permission. This overhauled MS-model file also includes:

A new propeller and spinner. A modified interior with virtual cockpit and working gauges. New gunners and cowl flaps.
De-mirrored Textures. There are also lots of small fixes and add-ons.

A revised .dp which includes numerous loadouts, including AI bombs.

Enjoy,

The B24Guy

Allen and The B24 Guy,

Many thanks for your work helping me with this when my original effort failed, I really appreciate this!
 
Hi guys,

Beautiful file, but i've a question: the real B-24J didn't have an hydraulic defensive turret on forward instead of glassed nose?? Or I'm wrong? Can you explain me this question? What version of the B-24 is reproduced?

Thank you,

Gius
 
It does but there is no B-24J made that has a multi LOD model. So right now the only thing you can do is use the stock/OH model B-24D as place holder.
 
Great work Allen and the B24 Guy

Thank you Allen and the B24 Guy for this super revised and tunned model.
This bird flies perfectly and the loadouts are fine.
Spécial exhaust effects made by KH for the OH B-24D Liberator fits her perfectly

A happy new year to all of you
 
Alright Rami this has be so close you can taste it.

I cut the nose in by use of alpha to cut out all of the old B-24D nose but for the pilots, guns and some parts of the interior and glass. It works okay in game but for some small flickering but the privew window things go badly.

I'm not super happy with the polygoun count. The 1500 count is much more than I would like but I may be able to get the number down some than LODs could take care of the rest.

Allen,

My apologies for not responding for a couple of days. This really looks great! How close to completion, do you think? If you need extra time, take it!

I abandoned the nose idea and it is now a full blown gMax project. I already have asked and gotten permission to liberate the virtual cockpit and related panel as well as the more detailed turrets. The main exterior is done and interior the same as the OH but I may try to do some more details later on.

I'm working on the first LOD now.
 
Isn't it amazing how wonderful projects can shape up from simple tuneup requests as this one? SOH forever!

Great job you guys, especially you Allen! :jump: :applause:

A STOCK B-24J: think of all the repaint opportunities and all of the fps improvements, together with historically correct looks for all of those ETO missions!

WOW! WOW! WOW! :triumphant:

Thank you!
