Vickers Vildebeest and Vincent

Skipsan, re. post #9 ...

I got the topsy turvy photo from an airfield history site that stated it was a Vildebeest of 22 Squadron, 1937. I can see a torp cradle, so I had no reason to think any different.

Anyways, it was just a diversion whilst I get the templates up to speed for the WW2 skins - Baldy's swamped me with Vildebeest III, Vildebest IV, & Vincent models.:isadizzy:

After all, this is a CFS2 a/c no point in wasting time on pre-war stuff!

Next stop, DEC'41- JAN'42 skins for 36 sqdn & 100 sqdn (as above)

Then I'll swap to work on the Vilde IV & Vincent & get at least 1 skin ready for each of them.

I can always come back to the Vilde III later & work on some 22 & 42 sqdn skins, plus maybe a 273 sqdn skin that Hewman 100 found for me -
 
Vildebeest for the ETO

Merlin, would this be of any use?

I'd like to use the 22 squadron Vildebeest in my Torpedo Bomber ETO campaign!
looks great. I had another Vildebeest but it was really bad on frame rates (at least on my old clunker).

keep up the good work!

That's the GC Swordfish, isn't it; a great plane, and a great campaign!

I--unfortunately--am in no rush, a lot of other things on my plate;
the Vildebeest is looking great!

thanks to all.
 
Swordfish ?

No, Merlin that is the Vildebeest MkIV

Hey Uncle terrific Mid-East skin

Uncle-Tgt I shell concur with your #9 post topsy turvy photo is a V'beest with 4 large bomb rails and 4 Small rails for 20 pounders and torpedo rack. Now why the 4 20 pounders mounts perhaps for smoke pots? Or is the plane an converted V'beest to Vincent we are looking at in the photo?

Oldwheat what say you?

Skipsan :kilroy:
 
Thank you for all the hard work, it is up in the download queue now. :ernae:
 
Thank you, baldy, Uncletgt and everyone who contributed to this project! A really wonderful airplane, and one I wanted for a long time!

I have one small problem, maybe someone can help: When loading, I get the message shown in picture 1 and when I look at the plane from the outside, there´s no crew, so i guess i´m missing some files. Where can i find them?

And while I certainly do not want to critizise, I noticed there are a few gauges not included in the panel that I consider useful. So I played with the panel config a little and added an altimeter, a turn indicator and a boost gauge. (picture 3)
I´ll attach the modified file here, in case anyone wants it.

Once again, thanks a lot to everyone!
 
Missing crew

Hi Skylane

your missing crew are from Martin Wright's site - MW Graphics in the CFS2 extras section

a great site for all sorts of things

V'beest MkIV

I haven't finished yet - about to upload the MkIV - since 36 and 100 Sqns were the only ones to see real combat this one represents a 100 Sqn aircraft'
