Polish Air Force 1939 redux - Baldy & UncleTgt

Reply...

Baldy,

Absolutely no pressure. Just having a PZL P-11c and a PZL P-23b are major steps forward. The P-11a and P-7a can probably be modified from the PZL P-11c. That covers most of them!
 
P.7a

Took a bit of time off the P 23 to see what work the P.11c needed to make a P.7a - this is what I've come up with --

I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet in this thread, but where does one find the PL gauges required by the PZL P.11c's panel.cfg. There were no gauges in my download package. Is everyone using alternative gauges i don't know about?
 
Thanks Uncle, and you know the weird thing about that readme is i that saw the tips for the sound and weaps, got those, and totally skipped the panel info.:dizzy:

Baldy et al,

I finally got a chance to test this aircraft, and I love it! However, I cannot find the weapons. :wiggle: Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance,
 
P.!!c bombs

Hi Rami

they're from Aerocrete's website or via No Dice's Free Flight site - however on checking this morning the site and links appear to be down - would there be any objection to me posting them as an attachment ? this problem also applies to the Breguet Br270 loadout

Okaaaay...that explains the P11 dp boxes now. You borrowed the dp from the Breguet! When i first installed it and opened the dp for examination, i had a "what the what?" moment (LOL) as i stared at the layout of the boxes. So i took the dp from the 1% P11 and after some adjustments made it fit. I really like this model. Having a lot of fun whipping it around the virtual skies. Tweaked the air files and the panel a bit for my taste. Here's the panel below.

I'm really curious about the original bright orange (or red) G-meter gauge in the top left in this package as well as Stockplane's version. After looking at several close up pics around the web of the P11 instrument panel and comparing this gauge with the similarities in the Japanese Ki-44 manifold pressure gauge, i'm not convinced the original instrument was a G-meter. Can anyone confirm this?

Panel

that's the problem with panels that use gauges in an unfamiliar language - I find lots of problems when trying to produce a reasonable panel and I very often don't succeed.

Copy that...had the same problem in researching it. That's why i'm asking here. Can't make out the language i see in the RW panel close ups. I dismissed the idea of the G-meter because of the real aircraft's historical 7.5g corner speed at 180 mph. The max limit showing on the defo G-meter gauge was about 4g, so that didn't line up with the historical capability of the plane. But the '4' would make sense if you read it as a max of 40 inches of MP. That's when i went poking around in my collections and found the similar-looking Ki-44 MP gauge. Now if i could just find an easy way to paint the whole face orange-red...LOL
 
Thanks, a handy little tool, but i have better extraction/editing features in FSPS. I was just expressing a moment of laziness. :untroubled:
 
Poland

Today is the 77th anniversary of the German invasion of Poland thus starting World War II

Baldy,

Yes, it is! And thanks for all of your hard work representing the Polish Air Force during that period!
 
PZL 23b Karas light bomber

Hi all

As part of our efforts to re-new Polish aircraft for CFS2 UncleTgt and I are launching an all new multi lod model of the PZL 23b Karas. As far as I am aware the only other model of this aircraft is fifteen years old - so let's hope this one stands comparison. I have also created a new set of Polish bombs to arm this a/c ( include in pack )

The readme explains our debt to Eric of AOL and others who produced the original all those years ago.

This aircraft carried out the first bombing raid over German territory after the German invasion of Poland. I am about to upload today

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

Description: Single engine, three seat, light bomber and recce aircraft of Polish Air Force. It was still in front-line service, although obselete, when the Germans invaded on 1st September 1939. When the situation became hopeless many of these a/c were flown by their crews to Romania. The a/c were put to use in the Romanian Air Force. The crews continued the fight by escaping to France then the UK.
