Hi all, I would like to present on behalf of Docholiday an aircraft that has been sorely missed from Il-2. The A-26 Invader.


Screenshot: Thorsten

The development of this aircraft started a few years ago with Docs lovely model and has had a difficult development history with modders coming and going and the lovely craft gathering dust on hard drives. About a year ago I started a collaboration with Doc to finish the model and classes. This is the end result.

I would also like to thank all the help I've received along the way from everyone who tested this plane and to those who took time out of their days to help with the more serious roadblocks like the FM, parts scaling and turret code.

Enjoy! And of course, as bugs are inevitably spotted I will be snagging them and releasing patches.

If there are any skinners out there who would like to have a crack at a nice default skin and damage textures please get in contact

And everyone who helped beta test this bird, cheers
Anyone I'm forgetting?

Note:
1)It is absolutely vital that you install CY6 skyraiders from here https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=14170.0 in order for all the weapons to function correctly.
2)I am also running 4.12 with the latest sas engine mod https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=37774.0
3)I am also running the latest jetwar https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=15649.0.

If some weapons are missing then make sure you have these packs.

The rear turret is controlled by one turret operator, this means that you view above and below through a periscope and only one turret can fire at a time, as per real life. (cheers Storebror for the code for this nifty little setup)

Also included is a late war pacific version with bottom turret removed and replaced by a long range fuel tank, this is an approximation of the A-26B-51-DL  - A-26B-66-DL variants and can be selected in the loadout options for the A-26B

Hi Spider, I haven't checked the compatibility of this version with 4.10, did you try it yet?
Carlos

[Batbomb]

Works fine on 4.10 for me

[Edlor]

Been waiting patiently for this one for some time now. Got er downloaded and can't wait to get er in the air. 

[Koty]

Yatta!! It's out!!!

[Mad026]

I confirm that this is working with 4.10, very nice job!!

[duffys tavern]

4.12 / 5.3
Wow, works just fine. Swell job.

[Koty]

So, I installed it and - it flies like devil! Grrrrrrr... Awesome plane, awesome FM!
But I found two things: if you have napalm + bombs, you can't drop the napalm unless the bombs are dropped, even with closed bombbay you can't drop them, strange... and second - the gunsight aims a bit higher than it actually fires.

Excuse me now, off to punish some grounds with this new birdie

PS: How many ammo the hell does it have?!

[Maty12]

Great looking bird! Do you plan on doing the glass nose version, the A-26C-45?
