Seeking Help installing a Quad Turret in a Lancaster

CrisGer

Charter Member
Hello
I am trying to add a quad 3 oclock turret to my new Avro Lancaster B.III

alancasteroverenglandyg4.jpg


I am not sure which cfg needs to have the info added...and what of the actual cfg that has the turrent info needs to be added also.

The Quad Turret add on is a part of a MKI Defiant - Version 1.3. by Boulton Paul and was uploaded to flighsim with just the turrent as an add on....

here is the read me from that file:

------------------------------------------------------
CFS2 panel with quadruple gun turret for Boulton Paul MKI Defiant.
With the view of the gunner you can look around for 180 degrees (5/8 views)and from the pilots seat you have 90 deg available (3/8 views).
The 2D-panel and the virtual panel configuration matches Jed's Download aircraft at Simnetwork. com (P82_Defiant). The zipfile contains modified air- and dp-files. Of course the turret.bmp can also be used for bombers with quadruple gun turret like Avro Lancaster, Halifax, etc.

{I am using the very nice B.III Lancaster model by David Garwood, from No. 467 Squadron, RAF Bottesford, 1943 }

the Panel cfg. that is in the panel folder with the picture of the panel for the turret says:

there are also airplane cfgs. for both but i am assuming this change needs to happen do the panel cfg and then i need to put the turret panel pic into the Lancaster Panel folder....

any help on this would be much appreciated...i am trying to learn about this all, and at times it is a bit beyond me... :)
thanks for any help.
 
OK will do, i will work thru this carefully and see if i can get it working. I need to learn all of this as i want to try to help out with these projects as so many are doing :)
