HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE MORE TIME!!
:applause: :wave: :applause:

I just uploaded another pack with updated prop textures, GG-style exhaust effects and an alternative dp file for Mike Felden's, a.k.a. Baldy, Fairey Firefly MkI and MkV.

I did quite a bit of searching in order to find wing pylons which would match as close as possible the ones I had seen under a Firefly wings in my resources.

I found out that the closest ones were in P.H.F. Burnage's weapon pack included in his Tiffie second version, available here at the House. Then I proceeded to:


  • in the WWII era MkI:
add two new payloads: Alphasim's RAF 500lb bombs (available here as Alphaoldies in any of their British WWII bomber models) and a rocket paired fire sequence payload. I did a realistic fire sequence from outer to inner rocket pair, which was meant to keep dead weights as close as possible to the aircraft C.o.G.;
I replaced Ground Crew's wing bomb pylons, RAF rocket rail launchers and 60lb aerial rockets with the nicely detailed pylons and weapons from Burnage's Typhoon v.2 weapon pack.


  • in the Korean War era MkV:
I replaced stock Japanese wing bomb pylons with the pylons from Burnage's Tiffie v.2, then replaced stock rocket launchers and aerial rockets with U.S. Navy HVAR's from DBolt's enhanced US Weapon pack v.2.0, again with the firing sequence from outer to inner pair.

The attached screenies show the results.

The file is uploaded to the CFS2-Skins-British section.

Enjoy!

Thanks KH! It's a nice touch to have the rockets fire from from the outside pylons to the inside pylons.

You are welcome, Jagd!

I am always looking for that extra detail, I have most of my rocket-carrying attack aircrafts with the firing sequence set up in this way, should I bundle up their dp's and upload them?

It was the preferred way to keep aircraft weights as balanced as possible. It didn't always worked that way, as some WWII pictures I had seen show. Under combat inevitable stresses and enemy fire, electric systems often misbehaved.

It was brought to a state-of-the-art refinement on the B-29's bomb drop sequence, since they had a forward and a haft bomb bay dropping alternatively front to back and side to side, in order to keep the Superfort flight balanced.

Cheers!
