Paul Clawson CFS2 Conversion of Douglas_O46

Members +
I am looking for the CFS2 version of the Douglas O46 and can not find it. Help Please. I found the textures in the skins but not the aircraft.
 
Marty, I have only 1 cfs2 Douglas O-46, it is named O-46 camouflé, I don't know where I found it and I also cannot find it in my cfs2 dungeon files. It has a pre-war US-camo and a 2D Me-109 panel and no VC. But if you want it, send me a pm with your email-adress and I'll send you what I have.

Regards, hertzie
 
Or just download Allen's DOSmdlcv2 & convert Paul Clawson's FS2004 O-46 yourself, & upload the converted model for others to use?

:p87: Nah, didn't think so - I'll get my coat :running:
 
I downloaded and converted the plane. It deserves a serious modeller to give it a decent VC. The exterior is perfect! the machine gun is horrible. I'll put here some images.
 
Landed, the plane shows wings and an immersive experience. There's a way to get a working VC? Can anybody helps me?

It flies like a Lysander. I'm using all data available to get a realistic airfile.

I found a very beautiful panel bitmap in a new FS2020 conversion. I edited it to fit in CFS2 mode. Naturally I will credit the author in the final version.
 
The O-46 was used by the Philippines against the Japanese invaders. The Massachusetts National Air Guard used them to protect America against German U-Boats. I looked everywhere and could not find any info about bombs in the O-46.
 
Peperez; You don't have to look any further. The O-46 was used by the Maryland National Guard to patrol off of New Jersey and the area there-abouts. According to info available it had no bombs but did have two .30 cal. MG's, one fixed and one flexible. During WW2 many air clubs patroled the American coast, even in private planes, as there was a severe shortage of military aircraft available. These planes had radios only and were strictly for patrol observation. See , report and if possible, trail only. They were strictly observational.

Yehp! This is my conclusion... I'm researching now its use in Philippines.
 
Officially, no. There weren't any "bombs" on the aircraft.

There are, of course, several stories of Philippino aircraft throwing hand grenades out, though. Can't remember where I read that, but it wouldn't surprise me.

There's also the handful of Civil Air Patrol guys that rigged a "bomb rack" to a Stinson (or something similar) and then attacked a U-Boat off the coast of NJ somewhere.

I'm not sure about CFS2, but for FS9 you would just have to make a VC panel in GMAX or something similar, then just export the proper "plane" as an mdl for FS9. You would then use MCX to merge the "plane" mdl for the VC into the current model of the aircraft. You would then move it into position, then export to FS9.

The panel looks nice, by the way!
