Vb Planes

Being.....

Of course it would be up to Crashwoody, but with all the VB planes in the hanger, it might be helpful to select some project teams to rebuild some of the VB planes. There are some real jewels in the VB collection and with today's state of the art, a lot of new life could be breathed into them.

...from the Volunteer State, I'll step-up to offer assistance in the upgrading of any MDL files in FSDS2.24.....should Tom decide to run with Jagd's suggestion. And I'm sure there are many others who would be glad to fill-in any specialist gaps Crashwoody encounters. :ernae:

We have a long list of talented types here in the basement who have been sitting on their hands of late. :costumes::costumes:
 
I'm in the early stages of repainting the F4U1 'Birdgcage' Corsair which is still a fine model and looks the part so I would love an updated model to work on. I would love to buy some donationware F4U1 and other planes but I have a real phobia about doing any transactions over the net so I stick to freeware. I must be reading too many PC magazines :redf:
 
If I can only have four (cuz I'm not greedy:costumes:)
I would love to see updates to the Lancaster, ME210, ME410, & ME-262. These are all aircraft where there aren't a lot of other options. No offence guys but there are already tons of excellent P-51s and Hurricanes out there to use in CFS2.

The perfect option (cuz I am greedy after all) would be to do as Jagd & TR propose and do the upgrades to the entire fleet as a SOH team effort. I am willing to offer whatever help I can (I can't do much but I make a great cup of coffee).

If Tom's happy with the effort that it will take, then more power to his mouse!
But I do understand what Talon is saying about it.

I like Jagd's idea of sharing the work load and as said if that's something I/we could help with, then great.

Cheers

When it comes to Gmax, I know just enough to be dangerous, but I think updating a VB plane or two in Gmax just may be the learning experience I need to help me turn into a modeler.

For what it's worth, count me in on the updates....at the limited level of my Gmax skills, or at the more advanced levels of my skinning, DP tweaking, panel updating and sound pack tweaking (using Lawdog's files as the ingredients in new recipes).

And if I had to choose just 4 VB planes to see updated: Me-210, Me-410, P-82. Okay, I could only count to three, so someone with more edumakashun can have the my last one.

VB planes

Are the VB planes still available here. I looked under Graham in the archives & found them listed but none that I tried were available for download.
 
This thread needs reviving The chance to breath new life into Graham's models is just too good an opportunity to pass up. Hell, I may even try to get a real handle on animations ( or even Gmax :kilroy:)
 
I grabbed VB's Re-2005, Me-210, and Me-410. VB built the only examples of these planes for CFS2 that I know of. Now I am curious. Where can I get the weapons pack for the Me-210 and 410? Were there any repaints done for these two as well?

Also does anyone know of a good Lanc for CFS2? I know VB did one, but it doesn't have a dynamic VC.
 
Tom, the two I have any real experience with would be OW's suggestion on the Dinah Ki-46 and the Yak-3. Whatever you work on will be appreciated:salute:

I'll second Obio's suggestion on the 210, 410, and the P-82, all great aircraft and all VBs I like to mix up a little dogfight with in QC.

I still keep a few VB planes among my different theater installations: the Re.2005, the CANT-Z 506, and the Messerschmitts 210,410,and 262. The 210 and 410 duo look a bit old (just a bit), but give good frame rates, and no substitutes are around (as far as I know).

New updated versions of the same 3D models would indeed be very welcome in my CFS2.

Watchdog22 did two great repaint and update sets for the Me-410. Both used to be available here but only one of the download links still works http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=12455

The VB German weapons pack does not seem to be available anywhere anymore.

I have all of these files so I am uploading them for preservation in the new library.

Thanks Rami


I was looking for these packages when I started the development on the 354th FG campaign, and they weren't available then. I see they were uploaded in May so I missed 'em. Now I can give download links for them in the instructions.
 
I really like VB planes. I have thought about getting into the air files with airconfig and tweaking their flight dynamics to get them as close as real as possible. SopwithC and others have done some really excellent skins for a lot of the VB planes, which are multi-LOD.

I like many of JRL's planes also, but wish they were multi-LOD.
 
Hey Fellas,

I looked almost every where for the VB_FW190_A.zip and can't find the whole aircraft. I know one of you guys knows where it is at. It might be right under my nose. Not like that hasn't happened here before.

Thanks,

Ryan
 
Wierd!!

just mentioned this thread in another, and it's sitting just below the top, glad it's still active.

Anyone heard from Tom regarding this? I'd chip in to help if possible.
