The mesh is just great, this one. One thing I forgot, the -1 and -4 don't have the slots. It was on a landing gear gauge, and the animation will not read or show up. Still messing with that for a later update, barring some kind of breakthrough. The cockpit is also functional in the exteral model,you can read the instruments from spot view. Laziness! The VC model and externals were identical except for the pilot, hence the Piglet driver. Saves over a MB, too( for other stuff ;-) ) And I wanted the slick wings. I also plugged up the gap between the lower wing and fues- no daylight.
Sorry about the readme file, probably incomplete. If you can't find stuff in loads, it may not be on that particular model, or I forgot to write stuff down. Just start adding stuff in the load manager until you find what's missing.
It's torquey, you use the trim a lot, it bounces if you land on at more than 65 kts, the ailerons get totally ineffective at landing speeds, and the -1/A-25A is a dog. Prettymuch like the actual article. Watch pulling power on a wave-off, it will roll right over - a handful, not an aeroplane for beginners, even though it fly's pretty much like a very heavy Harvard.
 
I forgot to mention, I've got the sound aliased to the Howard 500. I forgot to put the GP bombs in, too. Always something.
And torpedo, but I'm still working on that.
 
Very nice indeed! I love the variants available. It's too bad Helldiver does not subscribe to here anymore. This would make his day.

lol, it might, but Helldiver is also from that generation of aircraft and knows it very well, as many have discovered from past threads concerning the aircraft. A stickler for details and unwavering in his insistence on certain things being done correctly. This is far from being "spot on" shall we say, so I'm not sure how he would receive it. He might consider the age of the model and accept it as is. . .or. . . .lol
 
Helldiver, and probably a few others are going to be disappointed. I'm not. The old beast shined up purty durned nice, and I don't think there's going to be a new SB2C with all the bells and whistles and oil squirting out the monitor(the ultimate realism mod - it blows thirty gallons of hot, used oil out and converts your hard drive to metal filings... )
 
An off topic request

Sorry if this is off topic concerning fsx, Lazarus... but can you convert all models of the SB2C Helldiver X to cfs2?
