2 years and you have never read any forum on English, French, Japanese or Russian it's the first word to the left of the line "air.ini" is the name for the folder skins?
I read hundreds of times... in all languages.
I especially believe that the use of "search" button that will have to ... search.
But I recognize that many modders do not have time to do the "readme" like mine! 
But, as this name can be changed at the whim of the players, it can not be accused of freezing the system.

That's a little better!

If your wanting just the listings of a default loadout and plan to use the default loadout, then you dont need the weapons.ru. it automatically comes with the classfile.

the weapons.ru is just a way to change the name of your weapons to whatever you would like. this way you can change the name of a 50-100lbs loadout to "shit load of bombs". when you change the weapon in weapons.ru, that will be your new name that wil show up in your dropdown menu.

you can also change your aircraft name and vehicle/ship names via the planes.ru & technics.ru respectively

great mod
thx riken

[SAS~Riken]

Your welcome mr.mojojojo.

[SkyHigh]

Riken, thanks, also, for the plane. It works perfectly in my 4.11 install too.

[Gumpy]

Are you planning on any more cosmetic updates for the old girl Riken?

[SAS~Riken]

Yep. even fix that problem with the nose gun too. But when I get my rig all fixed up, I have another project that required my more imediate attention first. Not going to say what it is but you'll know it when you see it

In game the B-24D (and B24-J) have a 2 stage supercharger but the B-24D is equipped with 4 P&W R-1830-43 radial air cooled engines having a 16:9 propeller gear radio
Each engine is equipped with a single-stage singlespeed engine driven supercharger having 7.15:1 gear ratio and a General Electric B-2 Turbo-Supercharger



The Turbo unit was mounted at the rear of the nacelle sitting at the bottom and all the turbocharged B-24s can give the same power (1200hp at 2700rpm) from 0ft to 25000ft
(Above the critical altitude (25000ft) the manifold pressure reduction is 1,5Hg/1000ft)
The turbo supercharger should be kept engaged at all the time (except in final lanfing approach)
The turbo speed is reflected in the manifold pressure (the manifold pressure gauge should be consilted and the supercharger regulator control manipulatedin the same manner as the throttle)

is it possible to change the flight model to include the turbo like in P-47 or P-38 FM?

[Birdman]

Basically, adding turbocharger to FM is easy since P-47 and P-38 are modeled just as single speed supercharged engines with high critical altitude.

There is already quite a lot useful information for proper FM in the post, but it is not enough for an accurate FM with correct gauge readings:
So, the rated power is 1200 hp at 2700 rpm up to 25000 ft. Is the manifold pressure 45 Hg. at 25000 ft and 48 Hg. at SL for the same rated power or is there some higher take-off power setting with 48 Hg.? I don't know how to make manifold pressure decrease below the critical altitude, at least in P-47 and P-38 it stays constant. If there is some higher take-off power setting, then I'd like to know its power and rpm, and if it can be used as emergency power at higher altitude. Then accurate top speed data (with loadout, fuel amount, altitude information) for both variants would be nice to calibrate the drag parameters and ram-air effect since I expect top speed is incorrect after fixing the engine model. Also climb and weight data would be useful, but maybe it is not as important as correct speed for level bombers.

I don't like collecting references and I don't have proper sources for them, but if someone helps with collecting the necessary information, then I or other FM experts can easily edit the FM to be more realistic.

[NNFFLYLB]

you need some data like that?

[Mission_bug]

Hello all, I've tried a number of times to download this mod but the archive only downloads incomplete, does anyone have this available and could they please post a link.

I thought I had a copy in one of my installs but I can't find it so it must of been wiped in an install I didn't backup when I transfered to Windows 7.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
